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<\/strong><\/em>. What would your say to them? How would you feel when you met them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also ran across some video from 1999 that I’ve shown here on Two Chairs<\/em> way back in April 2012. I thought it might be worth sharing again. Andy Griffith<\/strong> appeared for the first time on the Grand Ole Opry<\/strong> back on November 13, 1999. Andy was there to present fellow Tar Heel Earl Scruggs with a North Carolina Hall of Fame award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/strong> 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<\/em><\/strong>) played and sang “Whoa Mule,” (also called “Flop Eared Mule”). Andy had performed that song with the Country Boys on The Andy Griffith Show<\/em><\/strong> episode “Mayberry on Record.” Enjoy the memory<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll do a few trivia questions as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you all for supporting the podcast and being part of the Two Chairs No Waiting community. It means a lot that your out there listening and viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the show!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
