Macon's Biggest TAGS Fan Passes

[gmsproductions]

Eddie Jones, perhaps the biggest fan of TAGS in Macon, Georgia, has died
after a long fight with cancer.

He and his wife, Peggy, had been to Mayberry Days no less than 15 times.

When Eddie's sons, Ben and Dan, recently restored their father's boat they
painted "Aunt Bee, Myers Lake, Mayberry, NC" on the bow.

One of Eddie's final visits to Mt. Airy included an overnight stay at Andy's
homeplace.

And it's most appropriate that Eddie's obituary carries a Mayberry theme
throughout.

Aunt Bee house

[gmsproductions]

Regarding Thelma Anderson's question about whether Aunt Bee had domestic
help in her big house.

I don't think it was domestic, but I believe she did have that British
fellow helping out for a while.

I think the price on the house is a little high unless it includes the
following ameninies:

A.  The mosaic picture that Otis made (preferably over the mantle and
not in the closet)

2.An apparatus for stretching hooked up on the closet shelf that also
includes an unopened bottle of Col. Harvey's elixir

C.A spinach garden and imaginary horse named "Blackie" in the backyard

RE: My voice teacher

[gmsproductions]

Ken,
It sounds like your voice teacher is not one of our'n. So, unless she has
plans to make you the next Leonard Blush, I'd find another one.

I am having a lot of "Mayberry moments".  I developed some speech and
swallowing issues, and part of my treatment is seeing a speech therapist.

Today when we started up, she worked on my breathing, having me take deep
breaths through my nose and letting it out through my mouth.  When I was
done with that, I asked her if she would give me an A in breathing.  She
gave me this strange look, so I had to explain how Barney got an A in
breathing.

Then we worked on warm-ups for talking and singing, and I had to do "ah ah
ah ah ah ah". I told the therapist that the people in the next room would
wonder what was ailing me.  So, I again had to explain about Barney warming
up in the courthouse.

Not sure if I will be ready to sing for a while, but maybe she will give me
a bottle of honey and water to squirt in my throat.

Great Father's Day story

[gmsproductions]

A columnist in our local newspaper, The Macon (GA) Telegraph, wrote a great
Father's Day story about a guy who has to be the biggest Mayberry fan in all
of Middle Georgia.

Here's a link https://www.macon.com/news/local/article243665532.html

Re: Eleanora Poltise

[gmsproductions]

I was thinking about Elizabeth's question as to why Eleanora Poltise was not
in the choir.

Even with the help of a thinking bucket, I couldn't come up with the answer.

So, I  ran it by the Boys at the Lab. They're not very busy right now since
social distancing and sheltering-in-place have hampered their analysis of
rocks.

They actually had three ideas:

A.  Ms. Poltise went to a different church - maybe one over in Mt. Pilot

2.She stayed home on Sunday so she wouldn't risk missing Leonard Blush
on radio with the Ethel Page organ recital at the Pot O Honey Restaurant

C.On Sunday her alter ego of Big Maude took over and she didn't want to
be exposed to a guilt-trip caused by hearing a sermon on the subject of sin

Language

[gmsproductions]

I'm as guilty as anyone of using Andy-ism's in everyday conversation. But I
don't believe there's a number law against it.

But after running this subject by the boys at the lab, they have just one
question. If you start spouting philosophical meanderings to someone before
you even know if they're one of ours,  ain't we a-pickin' our peaches
before they're fuzzed up good?

Hayes

rousing welcome

Gently, Sweet Afton," to a standing-room-only crowd

6 - the last remaining unsightly landmark, the old oak tree, can finally be
removed

5 -  citizens can wear trick-or-treat outfits a full month before Halloween

get stolen to provide meals for hobos

3 - the barbershop will see a business boost from men wanting Cary Grant
haircuts

2 - they can make a movie that does not include cowboys, horses, shootin'
and killin' - yes, there is another kind

1 - law enforcement will finally get new uniforms, even if they do make them
resemble Smokey Bear

New Ron Howard movie

[gmsproductions]

Ron Howard's new movie "Hillbilly Elegy" is being filmed here in Macon,
Georgia.  There have been lots of questions as to whether or not Ron is, or
will be, in town, but so far so sightings.

Quite honestly, everyone here is looking in the wrong places - the filming
locations. He wouldn't show up there until the best time to do anything -
tomorrow. So he may be with Mr. Dave trying out a homemade fishing lure.
I'm pretty sure he's not hanging out in the woods with his merry men helping
someone who's down on his luck. So far, no pies or hams have been reported
missing. Of course he could still be in the woods looking for men with
shiny, silver hats who walk in the trees. But when and if he arrives, I'm
fairly certain he will come in on the bus that says "MACON" on the front.
