Mayberry Guru Update
Well, folks I am still plugging along here in the upper Midwest. Mayberry is still keeping me going. We have a car show Christmas party to attend tomorrow night. Friday night I am taking six family members to a Christmas Show called "The Jail Bailers". It is a musical comedy show featuring lawmen and their prisoners. It is a major fund raiser for our county Humane Association. So I will be there as Barney to greet folks and help with crowd control. Always a fun event. Saturday is a bittersweet day. One of my high school classmates was killed in a tragic accident so we will be attending his funeral back home. A number of my high school classmates are coming so it will be an emotional time for me. I just found out that our high school choir director will be coming. He took us on a concert tour my senior year and we sang at the Pentagon and also at the New York World's Fair. I have not seen him since graduation night in 1964 but he emailed me tonight. He said he has been following all my Mayberry events. From the funeral we will head to Mauston, WI, about 150 miles from here where I will be doing an evening Mayberry presentation for a Lions Club event. We have snow on the ground here in Wisconsin and I am delighted. I hope each of you is enjoying all the excitement and other things that go along with the Christmas Season. May I wish each of you a very Merry Mayberry Christmas and don't forget to watch "The Christmas Story". -- 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.wbmutbb.com/
Mayberry Guru Update
Well, things are busy here in the Chippewa Valley of Wisconsin. My wife and I are very busy with car shows and parades. I received some exciting news this week. Tomorrow Wisconsin Public Television is paying me a visit. They want to do a story about me for their "Wisconsin Life" program on Wisconsin Public Television. So they will be coming to our house tomorrow for about two hours to do an interview and to do some filming. Then they are going to be going to the Stardust Car Show with me to film. It just happens that my car will be the featured car that night as it will be a fund raiser to help support our local Police and Fire Units. Other police cars will also be on display. I also received a call from the publisher of Nostalgia Magazine which is based in Spokane, Washington. It is a bi-monthly magazine and they are going to do a story about my Mayberry Guru gig. Publisher told me everything is a go and he will let me know when it goes to print. May be a while as I know sometimes it takes months for a story to appear after it is written. So all in all I would say Mayberry is very much alive and well here in Wisconsin. We have events the next 8 days including one Mayberry Presentation. Fortunately the weather has been just perfect. However, on Saturday we are doing a day long event which includes a car show and a very long parade and the temperature will be around 91. And that's hot - dang hot. I hope all of you are having a safe and fun summer. -- 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.wbmutbb.com/
