You may know the names of the Darling boys are Rodney (guitar), Doug (also called Jebbin – banjo), Mitch (bass) and Dean (also called Other – mandolin) but do you know where the name “Other” came from? I mean the name “Other” of course.

On this episode, we’ll find out.

We’ll also hear from a caller with a couple of corrections and additions to information about Don Knotts appearances on cartoons.

We’ve had wonderful segments of Two Chairs No Waiting during the Rodney Dillard interview and this final segment is no exception.

Our discussion turns more to The Andy Griffith Show and how being on the show has impacted The Dillards over the years.  The feeling of “family” that The Dillards have when performing for audiences because the fans “know” them from The Andy Griffith Show.

Rodney also talks about being on the set between shots and how The Andy Griffith Show was different than other shows on which they appeared.

Welcome back to Two Chairs No Waiting!  We’re continuing our interview with Rodney Dillard and learn about a few appearances that he and Doug have made on movies and TV that most fans may not know about.

Rodney tells us about things he’s been working on recently including his Mayberry Values in Todays World presentations across the country. This is a ministry that gives practical applications to what it means to be a Christian.

The discussion goes a good bit into this topic so take this as fair warning for anyone offended by frank discussion of walking through life as a  Christian.  I don’t believe that most listeners need that heads up but I felt like I should give one.  I’d love to hear from you about this topic and have a discussion however you feel.

Welcome to the Two Chairs No Waiting – Andy Griffith Show Fan Podcast!  I’m glad to have you join me for part 2 of my interview with Rodney Dillard.

In this episode discuss the influence that The Dillards had on artists such as The Eagles, The Byrds, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Dan Fogelberg, Linda Ronstadt, Elton John, Ricky Skaggs, and several other well known artist.

We discuss the way The Dillards were able to “push the envelop” with the music they played and how they were able to combine different styles of music into their music.

I believe you’ll hear things that many fans of The Andy Griffith Show haven’t heard about our Darling boys and hopefully you’ll understand and be even more thankful for the artist who are The Dillards on a different level.

Rodney Dillard, the guitar playing Darling boy, joins us to talk about The Dillards, the Darling boys and much more. In part one we speak about how The Dillards got their start in the music business. In future episodes Rodney will talk about being on The Andy Griffith Show and many other topics.

Because of my association with The Andy Griffith Show, I have seen The Dillards perform many times and I’ve heard them take and answer many questions from audiences.  I heard things in this interview I’d never heard before and it was a great pleasure being able to dive into the career of this influential  bluegrass band.

How influential you might ask.  The Dillards were inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame on October 1, 2009 and have directly or indirectly influenced artists such as The Eagles, The Byrds, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Dan Fogelberg, Linda Ronstadt, Elton John, Ricky Skaggs, and several other well known artist.
