Suitcases and Hymns
Well, Paul and Ken sure know their suitcase episodes! Nice job! Let's not forget when Mrs. Mendlebright got her "valoose"! As for hymns, "Leaning on the Everlasting Arm" was sung in the church and also at Charlene and Dud's "official wedding". Andy & Barney sang "One Vacant Chair" for Otis. Not sure if "We Shall Not be Moved" (sung by Aunt Bee and a group of women at Mr. Frisbee's house) is considered a hymn, but it is a spiritual song that dated back to the slavery era and was often used as a protest song. Andy and Ellie sang "Away in a Manger" but that is probably more of a Christmas song than an actual hymn. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Hymns in Mayberry
Here's a list of hymns that I can recall being sung or played or hummed or whistled in Mayberry: Let the Lower Lights Be Burning (aka Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy) by Andy and Barney in The Return of Malcolm Merriweather Rock of Ages by Aunt Bee in Man in a Hurry Bringing in the Sheaves by Barney in Bailey's Bad Boy, and by the church congregation in The Church Organ Leaning on the Everlasting Arms by Andy and the Darling family in Mountain Wedding, and by the church congregation in The Church Organ There is a Fountain by Andy and Barney in The Case of the Punch in the Nose Love Lifted Me by the congregation (at an unusually fast tempo) in The Church Organ What a Friend We Have in Jesus by Andy (playing organ) in The Church Organ The Lord Bless You and Keep You by the church choir in The Church Benefactors Away in a Manger by Andy and Ellie in The Christmas Story There's also a song whose title I don't know (possibly Grant Us Our Evening Prayer), sung by the church choir in The Church Benefactors. The melody is Liebestraum by Franz Liszt. Additionally, some folks might consider The Vacant Chair and Little Brown Church in the Vale as hymns.

Mrs. Mendelbright
Did anyone mention Mrs. Mendelbright's "satchtel', or her "valoose" as a suitcase?One of my favorite lines. Bee in New Concord, OH Brenda J.

Weekends in Jail
I am reading another mystery and this segment was in it. "The Engelmans' first union had broken up because of Fred's weekend binges. He'd tried to cure himself by checking into the jail Friday nights and staying put until Monday mornings. The sheriff and his staff felt like babysitters." Sounds a bit familiar, doesn't it? -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Suitcase trivia
>>>So since we I am on the suitcases, how many times do you remember seeing >>>someone on TAGS carrying a suitcase? >>> Good question. I've come up with a list but I've probably missed a few. In many instances a character is helping another character with their case, but I figure this counts as they are seen carrying a suitcase even if it's not theirs. Bailey's Bad Boy: Andy, Barney, Otis, Ron Bailey The Manicurist: Ellen, bus driver Andy and Barney in the Big City: Andy, Opie, Barney (careful, there's a bottle in there), bellhop The Pickle Story: Barney Andy on Trial: Miss Boswell (aka that college kid) Cousin Virgil: bus driver, Andy, various passengers Aunt Bee's Romance: Roger Hanover (for them that don't know, "grip" is another word for suitcase, and "the grippe" is the flu — but I digress). Banjo-playing Deputy: Andy, Jerry The Mayberry Band: Andy, Barney Those Gossiping Men: Wilbur Finch, Barney The Christmas Story: Ben Weaver, Barney The New Doctor: Dr. Benson (might have been a medical kit, not a suitcase) Andy and Opie, Housekeepers: Opie, Andy, Aunt Bee Andy and Opie, Bachelors: Opie, Aunt Bee, various passengers Andy's English Valet: Andy High Noon in Mayberry: Luke Comstock Floyd the Gay Deceiver: Floyd, Mrs. Grayson (maybe hers was more of a cosmetic case, it was rather small) Off to Hollywood: Andy, Goober, Warren Class Reunion: Andy, Barney (a trunk is a kind of suitcase, right?) Taylors in Hollywood: Andy, bellhop Gomer Pyle – USMC: Gomer Aunt Bee on TV: Andy (curiously, the cases they bring home do not appear to be the same cases they left Mayberry with) The Return of Barney Fife: Andy The Legend of Barney Fife: Barney (why in the world did it take Goober two hours to remove a fuel pump? I would think anyone with even a tiny bit of engine knowledge could do it in under ten minutes — but I digress again). Baby in the House: Daryl carries bags of baby stuff, but maybe this doesn't qualify Dinner at Eight: Goober A Visit to Barney Fife: Andy Barney Comes to Mayberry: Barney, Harold, Harriet A Trip to Mexico: Aunt Bee, Clara, Myrtle, various passengers Howard and Millie: various passengers Aunt Bee's Cousin: Bradford Howard's New Life: Andy, Opie, Howard Goober Goes to an Auto Show: Aunt Bee, Goober Paul Mulik (that's not one of the answers, I'm just signing off) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
