The Dillards Concert at the Swansboro, NC Mullet Festival
I had the pleasure of once again seeing Rodney and Doug Dillard in concert at the Mullet Festival here in NC. They put on a great show as usual. Onstage for just over an hour. Just wanted to let my fellow Mayberrians about the wonderful opportunity I had. Have a Mayberry kind of day.

Mayberry
There is a Mayberry! It is not in NC though, it is in Virginia. If you go to Mayberry Days you can visit Mayberry by going up Tr. 52 to the Blue Ridge Parkway and go north for about 25 miles. There is a Mayberry Country Store and just up the road from it, a few hundred feet, is the Mayberry Presbyterian Church. Last time we were there they were making apple butter at the store. The old store was built back in the 1800s so predates Mayberry USA by quite a bit. And as far as being closer to Nags Head, it is actually farther away! However, since Mayberry is a fictional town and all the characters are fictional, the distances they mention is also fictional. Siler City is probably at least 2 hours away but the show makes it about an hour. Mt. Pilot is just a few minutes down the road from Mt. Airy but they make it to be a little farther, I think. Whatever they did was for the show, not in reality, since thank goodness this was not a reality show! I guess they could have made all the towns and cities no more than 50 miles away and it still would'a been a fantastical show! I am glad the Griffiths decided to have a child, I am glad this child turned out to be a son, and I am glad the son had a sense of humor. I am doubly glad he came up with the Football Story, since that is what got it all started! BTW...For all the computer whizzes out there, I got my new computer and I need to transfer my old hard drive contents to the new hard drive. Anyone have any experience with the different software products to transfer files? Let me know under private Email and I will try to get things taken care of and get my new one up and running. Thanks Welford theCameraNu!! Thanks for your help! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Did I miss something?
I was in Winston-Salem last week and decided to drive up to Mt. Airy for a couple of hours. I got to the Historic District at about 6:15 and was able to see Floyd's Barbershop, the Snappy Lunch, the squad car and jail house and everything else that is in that two or three block area. I also went over to the Andy Griffith Playhouse to take a picture of the Andy and Opie statue. I guess I thought there would be more to the town than what I saw. Unfortunately, most of the stores seem to have just closed so I didn't get a chance to go in many of them. So I'm wondering: Did I miss something or is the Historic District what the town has to offer by way of Mayberry? All the best to you and yours.

Thelma Lou....
Yes, Barney did have many good qualities. Thelma Lou was a lady in love..even though she didn't think he could sing, not a lick!! She must have loved him very much to go "dutch treat" with him and how about those nights he never spent a dime on her but went to her house to watch TV and eat cashew fudge. Anybody know how to make that? I wouldn't mind making a pan of that myself. --Shy Mary Grace - Stay in the know. Pulse on the new Yahoo.com.

Exotic Ice Cream Flavor
Would that flavor be the West Indian Licorice Mocha Delight that Barney brought to Thelma Lou. I forget the name of the episode but it's the one where Thelma Lou needs a date for her cousin Mary Grace. "Nice, she's so nice" and they find Gomer, "Tall, dark and door prize!" Marie, the episode was "A Date for Gomer", and I always thought it was funny that this ice cream came from "Murphy's House of the Nine Flavors." Now if you only have nine flavors, isn't it interesting that one of them is "West Indian Licorice Mocha Delight"? I guess Mayberrians have exotic tastes. We mustn't forget Wally's pop cooler with flavors like "Huckleberry Smash" (not to mention "High Octane Ethyl"!!).
