Any chance to link this back to the Dukes of Hazzard... which, of course, starred Mr. Pyle along with the actor-turned country singer, John Schneider! Also, did Tom Wopat ever put an album out? I recall meeting his brother, Dave, who was involved in that whole "college coffeehouse tour circuit" when I was in college... Little known fact (can't call it trivia...it's more like "trivial"): Tom Wopat is from the Lodi, Wisconsin area... ...Near Lodi, in wonderful Poynette, Wisconsin there is a restaurant called the Owl's Nest... ...On The Dukes of Hazzard, they had a diner was called the "Boar's Nest"... coincidence??? I think not... for more infomation on the local history of small towns in Wisconsin, please stop into your local library... btw: If you've ever had "Owl's Nest Cheese", it's now made in Sun Prarie, but it did get it's start at the aforementioned eatery.

(hint: he was the only non-musician in the group). What song did Mayor Pike's daughter sing for the big Hollywood scout? And what about the Mayberry Marching Band? Sorry...now I can't help myself.. Anyone remember 'Hubcap and the Wheels' or 'Captain *Cosmic* and the Salt River Navy Band'? Oh, Gawd, now look what you've done Now seriously lacking in REM sleep, Chris
RE: Andy Griffith (was: Re: Question about TV bands)
There's a pretty interesting book out called _Everybody On The Truck! The Story Of The Dillards_, with a foreword by Denver Pyle, that goes into exhaustive detail on the Darlings appearances. Published by Eggman, out of Nashville. I played at a Mayberry event a couple of years ago - we did all Dillards tunes, obviously - and one or another of the actors in the show was there, but I don't remember much about it. You can tell I didn't watch much TV as a yout. Also, did Tom Wopat ever put an album out? Probably. He had 7 Top 40 (barely) hits between 1986 and 1988.

I wrote: Darlin's shmarlin's. That's the easy one. How's about Buddy Fleet and His Band With The Beat? Featuring James Best--later of Dukes of Hazzrd fame--on lead guitar. But I do believe it was Bobby, not Buddy. Heavens, what's happened to me?
