My Pilgrimage to Meyers Lake/ 'at and to'

2009-08-28 Thread Jason Harrod


MY PILGRIMAGE:.  Bad news and good news.

Good news:  I found, nestled quietly and cooly in the middle of a  
teeming and sweltering LA, Franklin Canyon Reservoir, and our precious  
Meyers Lake.


Bad news:  I couldn't pinpoint the *exact* location where Andy and  
Opie walked in the opening credits of TAGS.  This was partly, perhaps,  
due to my own lack of trained noticing, and partly because I was  
accompanied by a friend who had left his wife at home with two robust,  
high-spirited, and potentially yowling kids and was slightly anxious  
to return home to relieve her.  Thus my Fife-like sleuthing was  
compromised.


But it was pretty darn cool.  I saw many locations where Andy and co.  
*could* have walked, if they didn't walk in fact.  I saw the game  
wardens house.


I saw lots of Mayberry-esque flora and fauna, namely many evergreen  
trees, hungry ducks (which Barney and Thelma-Lou must have surely  
viewed, in between kisses), and swimming turtles.


I also saw some distinctively non-mayberry-esque flora, namely one  
giant cactus, one biggish redwood, and and a few palm trees.  (The  
palms would have been at home in SC, but not NC).


Finally, I saw a group of decidedly non-Mayberry folks enjoying a very  
Mayberry activity:  a group of Hasidic Jews having a picnic.


I yearned to join them but we needed to leave so I, sadly, bid adieu  
to Frankllin Canyon.  But not forever. To steal the phrase of a very  
Non-Californian Californian:  I'll be back!




I used to have, in fact still do have, unless he's changed his mind, a  
friend who used to say things like "Do you want to go 't the store."   
Notice where I placed the apostrophe.  He didn't say "Do you want to  
go t' the store."


It's hard to reproduce phonetically, but what it sounded like he was  
saying was "Do you want to go *at* the store." but shortened, of  
course.  So I think our friend from the digest is onto something.


Of course I'm on the plane and have had two complimentary scotches, so  
that might have somewhat diluted my otherwise clear sleuthical  
linguistic skills.


I've heard, I believe, Andy Taylor use similar parlance, mostly, I  
think, in season one or two.  I'll try to hone in on a specific  
instance.


One thing:  People from the chesapeake bay/ norfolk, va talk  
different.  You can hear a little bit of it in Pat Buchanan's speech.   
A kind of brogue.  For instance, he says "aboot" instead of "about,"  
like a canadian., almost.


Anyway, I myself try to keep my *at's* and *to's* pretty straight and  
would much rather talk *to* somebody than *at* them, though I probably  
do more of the latter than I'd like to admit.


Cheers!

Jason

Searching for Jack Prince

2009-05-18 Thread Jason Harrod

Hello fellow Mayberry-ites,

I found a little more info on Jack Prince, but not much.  It looks  
like he recorded three songs with Shep Fields and his Orchestra, all  
of which were released on the short-lived "Vogue Picture Records"  
label between May 1946 and April 1947.


The songs are:

Atlanta, GA
I Guess I’ll Get the Papers ( and go home)
Whatta Ya Gonna Do!

I had never heard of Vogue Picture Records before but their story is a  
fascinating and colorful slice of Americana.  This site has a lot of  
info about them:  http://www.voguepicturerecords.org


If you click on this link and then click on "print view (pdf)," you  
can download a hi-res pdf of an image of one of the picture records  
where you can see "jack prince- vocalist" on the label:  http://www.bear-family.de/cd-dvd-series/vogue-picture-discs/shep-fields-his-orchestra.html?lang=1


I found a copy of it on eBay for $39.00:  
http://cgi.ebay.com/Vogue-Picture-78-rpm-R764-Shep-Fields-&-Orchestra_W0QQitemZ200342736893QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090516?IMSfp=TL090516122007r11998#ebayphotohosting

(no I'm not the seller)

Lastly I found this magazine ad.  I believe it's from the New Yorker:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Dorothy-Ross-Jack-Prince-Jazz-1940s-Original-Ad_W0QQitemZ220338277887QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item334d2f4dff&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116#ebayphotohosting

You can (just barely) see where Jack Prince was singing at "Club  
Bagatelle" with Dorothy Ross and The Striders.


Wish I could have been a fly on the wall that night...

I think Andy's saying "That's the time" (as in "atta boy").

I heard it as a kid growing up in NC, but then maybe the reason I  
heard it was because my relatives were quoting Andy.  They certainly  
quoted many other lines From the show.

So I don't know if it's a genuine NC expression or just an Andy-ism.

"Waitress"/ a task for trained noticers/ Andy on NPR

2007-05-29 Thread Jason Harrod
It was an unparalleled joy to see Andy on the big screen again in  
"Waitress."  He seemed relaxed and full of the old spark and wit.  I  
highly recommend this movie, even though i agree with Aunt Bee from  
Orlando that there's a lot of folks doing immoral stuff, which  
frankly offends me, because I extremely moral if not Saintly.  Ok  
just kidding about that last part.

One thing I noticed, but not well enough:  In the scene where the  
eponymous main character Jenna asks Cal, the fry cook if he is happy,  
we briefly see an old newspaper clipping on the wall which if I'm not  
mistaken, contains a photo of a mid-60's era Andy Griffith.  Can any  
trained noticers confirm or discount this?

Lastly, there was a recent interview on NPR with Andy Griffith in  
which he talks about "Waitress," "A Face in the Crowd," and some  
other stuff.  here's the link:

letters to TVLand

2007-04-26 Thread Jason Harrod
Back before TAGS was available on DVD, when I was trying to assemble  
the entire TAGS catalog on VHS, I composed a frustrated email to  
TVLand asking why they kept editing out some of the best parts of  
TAGS (Andy and Barney harmonizing, Andy reading Barney's letters  
home, etc).

I then suggested TVLand feature an "unedited Andy" weekend, where  
they could run entire TAGS episodes in their entirety, unedited.

I ended my letter saying "this would be BIG, BIG!!!"

I got a nice, if somewhat defensive letter back, pointing out that  
TVLand edits less material from their shows than other stations who  
show TAGS.

The TVLand emailer then admonished me against using all caps in an  
email.

:)

ah well, you can't win em all.

(Thankfully, the TAGS DVDs came out shortly thereafter, and I was  
able to pitch my battered, tattered, painstakingly assembled TAGS VHS

Stafford, who of course starred with good ol Andj in "Matlock."  I

Arthur Smith - Andy Griffith connection

2006-03-24 Thread Jason Harrod

Thanks for the plug on Merlefest, Jeff.  I am ecstatic to be at the 
same festival with folks like the Dillards.  Yippee!  Look forward to 
seeing you there.

Don, it was a blast to be Arthur Smith's show.  I guess in his day he 
was the Ed Sullivan of the South.  Arthur started on WBT radio (the 
precursor of WBTV), around the same time as the Carter family got their 
start on the station, so he's been around country music since before 
there really was anything called country music.  Andy Griffith applied 
for a job on WBT in 1941, but was turned down (little did they know!)  
Later though, Andy was a guest on Arthur's TV show.  Alison Krauss and 
Union Station were on the same episode I was on, and they played (IIRC) 
in tshirts and shorts, while Arthur, the old professional, wore a suit 
and tie.  They sounded great though.  The latest incarnation of 
"Carolina Calling" was an attempt by UNC-TV to resurrect the show in a 
modern setting, but it never gained much traction.  I wish I could have 
seen the show back in its heyday.

The song I sang on Arthur's show was "Carolina."  You can hear (and 
download) it, if you want, here:

Andy Griffith Framed Print

2006-03-21 Thread Jason Harrod
Hi,

I'm selling on eBay a framed print featuring Andy, Barney, Floyd, 
Gomer, and Goober.  My folks bought it in Mt. Airy.  I won't tell you 
too much about it here, but the item number on eBay is:  7401132097

Here is a pic of it.

Jason

help identifying artist of Andy Griffith print?

2006-03-01 Thread Jason Harrod
Hey Y'all, I want to sell a print on ebay; it's of Andy, Barney, Floyd, 
Gomer and Goober, and looks like it's in Charcoal.  I have no idea who 
the artist is.  The signature looks like Michael Moore (?) and is dated 
'91.  Anyone know who that is?  And no, I don't think it's the scruffy 
cap-wearing director of "Fahrenheit 911."

Thanks,

Jason

Two more Mayberry limericks

2006-01-18 Thread Jason Harrod
There this woman I know, name of Lydia

Named after a famous Greek city-a

The food she loves best

doesn't lay on her chest

If you chit-chat she might just get rid o' ya



Um, Andy, we're locked in the cell

A predicament we both know too well

Now please don't be sore,

But the keys in the drawer

Only thing to do now is to yell.
