Mayberry Trivia Time!
Hey folks! This week's Two Chairs No Waiting - Andy Griffith Show Podcast is all about Mayberry Trivia and what better way to recharge from the summer heat than to test our skill at Mayberry trivia. Not just any trivia either because these questions will give everyone a shot at getting the answer right because they are multiple choice. So sit back, recharge your batteries, and see how many questions you can get right as we go. I hope the questions bring to mind the fun had when watching episodes of The Andy Griffith Show and they let you experience the joy all over again.

RE Mayberry in time
In the 90's Andy and Don were on the Today show being interviewed by Matt Layer. It was stated by Andy that though they never said it, it was really more in line with the 1930's. It seems the activities are in line with that period, and we get lost .30 minutes in a simpler time. They didn't sit on Andy's front porch starring at thier iPhones! In later color episodes there was more writing in line with the current decade of the 60's. The thing that amazes a young friend of mine is how the "dress up" to go out in Mayberry! Call me old fashioned, but dressing up coat, tie, and a hat, shows respect not only to oneself, but to the party accompanying you. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Mayberry in time
There has been some discussion as to the time frame of TAGS, they may have had 60's automobiles but the movies and actors they mentioned are not from that timeframe. Barney borrowed $5.00 to take four people out to dinner could you get dinner for a dollar in the 60's? And I don't believe the ad's in the grocery store window was of that period either. Speaking of that episode Barney knew he wasn't really taking them out to dinner so why did he borrow $5.00?

Growing Up in a Mayberry-like Time and Place
One thing I really enjoy talking to people about, especially the young folks, is that while I never grew up in Mayberry, I did have a very real Mayberry-like childhood. I grew up in a very small town during a time when I basically lived without fear. My friends and I knew nothing about drugs, gangs, or bullies. The only violence in our lives is what we saw on TV or the rare movie that we saw, and that violence was extremely tame when compared to the massive and graphic violence in today's movies and TV programs. We did take guns to school though, but they were our toy cap guns that we played with at recess time. Many times in my childhood I got in a car with a stranger when offered a ride home when I was walking in the rain. I may not have known the driver, but I knew just about every car in our small town. My friend and I would walk to the next town using the railroad tracks as our pathway. The keys to our cars were left in the car ignitions so we would not lose them, and as for our house keys, we never had any need for them as we never locked the doors. Like little Leon, my friends and I would wander all over town completely on our own. We didn't need to carry watches because a loud siren blew at noon, six o'clock, and at nine o'clock. So we always new when it was time to head home for lunch, supper, and bedtime. Most of us had very little compared to the more wealthy kids in town. But that was the way it was and we didn't feel that it was unfair or that we were owed what others had. There were no Toys for Tots at Christmas. We accepted what we got and were happy for it. We received no free lunches at school. If we could not afford hot lunches, we either carried a bag lunch or we went home at noon for lunch. We ate a lot of plain macaroni as some days we didn't have much food in the house. We didn't received food stamps and there weren't any food pantries. We also learned our lessons the hard way. When I broke my nose and ended up in the hospital for surgery because I wasn't suppose to play football at recess, my parents didn't blame the school - they blamed me. When I was severely burned when my neighbor friend started the barn on fire, my parents didn't sue our neighbors - my parents paid the bill themselves even though we had no insurance. No, I did not live in Mayberry, but the many Mayberry-like experiences I had as a child helped teach me many important life lessons. I learned that I was not owed anything. If I wanted something I had to work for it. I learned that most of the mistakes I made were my own fault and I had no one to blame buy myself. I learned that growing up in a small rural village during the late fifties was a great place to be a child. Everyone in town was my neighbor. I knew everyone and everyone knew me. A friend from my hometown recently sent me over 300 photos taken back home from the years 1885 up to 1975. I am having so much enjoyment seeing so many old familiar places and faces that helped me become who I am. And because us Andersons are rather sensitive, I have admit that I have shed more than a few tears while looking at all those photos. -- 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/
Mayberry Old Time Radio
Two Chairs No Waiting 191: Mayberry After Mid-day Part 1 http://www.TwoChairsNoWaiting.com What if The Andy Griffith Show had been on the radio? I mean old time radio? Wouldn’t it be great to discover that there were unknown scenes with the folks from Mayberry starring in them? For the next two episode of Two Chairs, we’ll explore that thought. Writer Joe Gritton has provided a wonderful script featuring Mayberry barber, Floyd Lawson, and door-to-door salesman, Bert Miller. The episode is done in the spirit of Old Time Radio so sit back and use your mind’s eye to picture the goings on in our hometown of Mayberry, NC. Part 1 of “Mayberry After Mid-day” we find Bert Miller walking down the sidewalk of Main Street heading from the Mayberry Grande toward the courthouse. As Bert nears Floyd’s barber shop, he slows down and considers sitting down for a rest on the bench outside the barber shop window. Let’s join them now in Mayberry and hear what happens. Listen….. --- I hope you folks will enjoy this weeks podcast. WBMUTBB member Joe Gritton did a great job with the script! Thank you, Joe! If you folks haven't been listening to the Two Chairs podcast, please give it a try. I've been doing the shows weekly for more than three and a half years now I believe Mayberry fans would really enjoy them.

Mayberry Fun Time in Eau Claire
Once a month for the past two years I have been leading the Back to Mayberry Bible Study at a large retirement apartment complex. I have gone through all of the lessons so we thought we would be through last month. But I asked if they would like me to keep coming once a month and just have a Mayberry afternoon fun time. The residents overwhelmingly agreed to this. So I will be continuing once a month. They want to watch an episode each time and then have me read that particular reflection from my book. I am going to take some of my collectibles each time to share with them and I have plans to make up trivia games, take my Mayberry jigsaw puzzles, and just come up with some good old fashioned Old Time Mayberry Fun. The average age of the residents there is 83 and we have one lady who comes every time who is 92. Just thought I would share with you that Mayberry is alive and well in Eau Claire. I am even going to take some rocks one time and show an episode of Ernest T, and give them there own personal rock and I am going to paint the name Ernest T. I have an old joke I tell people that I was a rock singer when I was young. I tell them I would stand on a street corner and sing and people would throw rocks at me. Lots of luck to you and yours from me and mine. Kenneth G.
