Right and Right
First of all, I live it when there is a crowd on the street In Mayberry, and the number of Digest messages in the last few days if like one of those wonderful crowds. Thanks everyone so far on the help with Stunt Doubles/ body doubles. I think this is an interesting topic for trained noticers. I'm surprised no one scolded me about Aunt Bee's west double when she revealed the Badge in the Christmas episode. I could be wring, but I don't think she was quite that petite at that point in her acting life. Tom K, you are right about a Driver for Floyd and you too Helen..er I mean Ginger. You and Bob are also right about the mystery man that you call Schwamp's brother, Very interesting. I thought he was only in Color episodes. We may have to post him in the Mayberry Historical Society/Gossip Club along with Nice Dress Nellie, Tom Jacobs, and Joe Hamilton I will say this for Garry and the Bar sign. You do see strange signs at times on the 40 acres lot...and the show is inconsistent at times about the dry county..though we know that there was not such a business operating in Mayberry, otherwise Otis would not have hand to depend on moon-shiners. ...good comment about the stunt driver in the Gold truck episode. That could have also been the case when Barney pulled the trailer, and when they chase the lady speeder and Ron Bailey. ...about you Krispy Kremers..don't forget, the Bakery did come late in the series..Millie worked there and they did have donuts Keep all the topics going... no hurry to get back to your homes and places ob business The Untrained Voice I wonder my by body double could eat the Krispy Kremes, but I taste and enjoy them?? ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: Stunt Doubles
I'm not sure Barney ever had a stunt Double. How could they find someone with his build? I wonder if Burt Mustin was Barney's stunt double. Same brawny, musclebound build. Burt might have been able to do the rough stuff but, remember, he just couldn't holler.

Soon i Can Rest On My Laurels
thanks to the kind lady to confirm my fact that Howard McNear had a double in Goobers Contest. The back head view with the thin neck is so obviously not our Floyd. But now i can start resting on my laurels knowing my long search for Mr. Schwamps brother is bringing positive feedback from loyal fans. the pictures Bob are fantastic.We have at last a face to go with the character. Thats him allright.Albert and Bob well done.This is what makes Allans website all the more exciting. we set out to solve a mystery. An old yet new Mayberryian finally getting the attention he deserves. Like his younger brother, he has no actual actors name but he's a Mayberryian and thats all that counts.God bless all of you more than ever.

Re: Bar in Mayberry...
There couldn't have been a bar sign in Mayberry since everyone knows it's a dry county! except in the christmas episode - ben sells spirits in his store. which brings me to another point. in that episode, ben walks around to the right of the jail, apparently goes to the back and looks in the window. except it seems like he couldn't get to it that way. when he is looking in the window, there is a brick wall to his left. often wondered just how he negotiated that... ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 10, Issue 225
Hey I dated a few girls in high school who could have been Barney's double. Come to think of it I dated a few who could have been a double for Otis. Ken - what about Benjamin Franklin???

OMG - Spirits in Mayberry
I totally forgot about Ben complaining that moonshiners were competition to him selling spirits in his store! It's not possible that his store was outside the county line because it is right in Mayberry. That just frosts me! Peggy Maybe there's something about this I don't know. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Stunt doubles
The man who was a Karate instructor could have been Barney's stunt double. It sure fooled Fred! -- Ted http://image30.webshots.com/30/7/71/17/231177117EjadLZ_fs.jpg (Theodoric of York) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Street Scenes
I have noticed when ever there is a scene shot on the streets of Mayberry there are always car horns honking. Seems like over kill for such a small town. Must be a lot of impatient folks in Mayberry. I wonder what causes that? ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
apologies and dual sighting
Boy I'm going to have to apologize for my bad typing in yesterday's Digest. Sorry about that haste and sloppiness. Among other things I meant to say waist model when speaking of Aunt Bee's badge in the Christmas episode. I won't address all my errors. It would take too long. I typed like Otis. Or Barney, but I wasn't tipsy, I promise. Interesting tidbit on the Dinner at Eight episode. Goober comes into Andy's house with a large suitcase under his arm. Do you reckon the same guy fixed his handle and the one that Andy had sewed on before he went to Hollywood??(and then it broke right away). Tom and Bob. If you want to see your mystery man (I call him Siggy Short Italian Guy, you call him Mr. Schwamp's brother---and you guys discovered him) in the same scene as the real Mr. Schwamp..check out Off to Hollywood, where the guys are looking at the check. They are both there in Andy's office!! The Untrained Voice Bad typists of the work Untie!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Stunt for Barney
The one stunt I remember seeing that made me wonder if Don Knotts really did it, was the show about A Medal for Opie. When Barney has Andy lie on his back on the front porch of Andy's house. Barney sits on Andy's feet and tells him to push his legs up for strengthening muscles in the legs. Barney shoots out of the camera and they cut the scene. Then he walks back in the scene. It looks like Barney shooting up in the air, but is it? I know I read somewhere that Don Knotts really hated doing the scenes where a car almost runs him over when he crosses the street. They had to do take after take and he didn't like it one bit! It didn't hurt him, caused he's braced for it, right Barn?

Don Knotts Stunt Double
Don's stunt double was Jerry Brutsche; he is credited in Barney's Sidecar. He is also list in practically every Don Knotts movie made even the Don Knotts Television Show. Jerry was also in The 2 Every Which Way but Loose Movies as the sweeper driver and as one of the Black Widows.

odd chant by Barney
What's so odd about this chant. Barney said it in the 'The Jinx' to ward off evil spirits. Come fish come, come fish come. Sam's at the gate with a frosted cake, come fish come. vic I have an atomatic air conditioner, every time the weather gets hot it automatically breaks down ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mr. Schwamp's brother
I have included a link below to view two photos taken from the episode Up In Barney's Room from the 4th season. My friend, Tom Kessel, has referred to this character actor as Mr. Schwamp's brother in previous posts but just discovered that he was actually in a black white episode. Take a look and see what you think. Bob http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n106/bjmdjd/TAGS/http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n106/bjmdjd/TAGS/ Double click on the photos to enlarge them I've looked at the photos and, yes, this is the same fellow, I'm sure, who has to scoot out of the way of a car in one of the episodes. Like Tom, I haven't yet been able to find the particular episode, but I'm sure we'll track down this scene eventually.
