I’ve been going through old files on my computer and came across a poem by a person with the username “Al Becker” from 2001. This poem really makes you think about what it would be like to meet not only Andy but many of the cast members from The Andy Griffith Show. What would your say to them? How would you feel when you met them?
I’ve been lucky to have met so many of our friends from Mayberry and I can say this poem helps me to remember those wonderful times.
I also ran across some video from 1999 that I’ve shown here on Two Chairs way back in April 2012. I thought it might be worth sharing again. Andy Griffith appeared for the first time on the Grand Ole Opry back on November 13, 1999. Andy was there to present fellow Tar Heel Earl Scruggs with a North Carolina Hall of Fame award.
When Andy joined Earl on stage and he received an extended standing ovation. Here even said, “I ‘preciate it” and then told a barbershop joke that George Lindsey had first shared with him years ago. Then Andy, with Earl and company backing him (and playing a guitar he used on The Andy Griffith Show) played and sang “Whoa Mule,” (also called “Flop Eared Mule”). Andy had performed that song with the Country Boys on The Andy Griffith Show episode “Mayberry on Record.” Enjoy the memory
We’ll do a few trivia questions as well.

We had a voice mail and many other comments about enjoying the clips from the Colonel Tim’s Talent Time show that is somewhat of a final show for Mayberry Days each year. So, I ran across a clip where somebody has stolen Floyd’s pants and he’s trying to get them back. I hope you’ll enjoy this. I recommend you watch the video version of this episode even if you usually just listen to the audio. I believe it would be worth watching. The video clip was provided by Neil & Pat Coleman so a BIG thank you to them.
Then we’ll dive into some of the information found in the Weaver’s Newsletter issue for July/Aug 2025. There’s a load of Mayberry related information and fun in the newsletter so it’s not all about trying to sell you stuff.

Folks seemed to really enjoy the video of Psalm 23 from episode 847 of the podcast so I thought I would share a highlight from Col. Tim’s Talent Time that occurred during Mayberry Days 2021.
We’ll watch, or listen to, the Mayberry Founders Day Pageant featuring many of our Mayberry tributes. This is performed on the Andy Griffith Playhouse stage where a school age Andy also once performed. The host for the pageant is Floyd the barber. This is one of the podcast episodes I would suggest you consider actually watching the video of if you normally just listen to the audio. I believe it would be worth the watch.
The video was provided by Neil & Pat Coleman so a BIG thank you to them.

My voice is a bit strained this week so I went back into the archives 20 years to bring out a video from Mayberry Days 2004. We’ll hear from Betty Lynn, Thelma Lou herself, as she appeared during the 2004 Col. Tim’s show. I know you’ll enjoy hearing what she has to say.
2004 was the year TV Land dedicated the Andy & Opie statue in Mount Airy. Andy was in attendance for the dedication as were several cast members from the show, to include Betty.
We’ll play Mayberry trivia provided by Paul Mulik. This week’s topic: Complete the quote, Barney Fife edition.

Mayberry Days 2024 was held the last full weekend of September (25-29) and it was wonderful. That doesn’t mean there weren’t some snags related to hurricane Helene that struck hard about an hour and a half south of Mount Airy but the inconveniences suffered were minor. By just after mid-day on Friday, the weather had cleared and only a few downed trees and power outages were left to be dealt with. Most folks attending Mayberry Days didn’t feel the impact as none of the venues hosting events suffered any ill effects.
Several of those who attended have called in with there reports of Mayberry Days. I know you’ll enjoy hearing from them and their personal experiences as much as I have.
