Re: short wave radios?

2012-12-30 Thread Dixon Hayes
It got me to wonderin if they had portable short wave radios back in the 60's ? They did have them in the 1970s because I had one and listened to it a lot, if that helps any. Since shortwave in general had been around for some time, I'd expect there were a few portables by the mid to la

Christmas Episode

One possibility for only one Christmas episode is they felt they couldn't really top the one in Season 1. Sometimes it's best to recognize a classic than to try to best it. dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/

Cajun Pawn Stars

There's at least one other episode of Cajun Pawn Stars with a connection to Mayberry. In one episode someone brought in a car to sell or trade. If memory serves it was an early 1970s Chevy Malibu modified to look like a Chevelle. Anyway, the car had one of those novelty license plates with Barn

Short Wave Radio

I think the shortwave radio operated on the same principal as Jim Lindsey's "electric guitar" that played without any wires. I think this was also connected to how Keevey Hazelton was able to play his guitar without even touching the strings. I even saw Clara Edwards playing the piano beautifully

Chuck; I found the short wave questions interesting because I'm a big short wave fan. They had them back in the 60's, Daddy had one. I had one in the late 70's which had to have an antenna attached outside so they obviously took some "artistic license" with that episode. However now you have m

Hello All In a season of joy we reflect in all we lost this year. In spite of missing all, we can rejoice of the gifts they left behind. We Andy's gift was his abilities to act, as a musician, and as a person. What better way to be remembered than in a program that captured what was right ab

Re: Christmas show

About there only being one Christmas Show, I agree, I would've loved to see one with Gomer, Goober and/or Floyd. In fact I wonder if "The Song Festers" could've actually been reworked as a Christmas show, with the music in question being some type of carol or Christmas musical instead of "San

Andy tribute

I'm happy to report that unlike People magazine, TCM put Andy first in their tribute to the losses of 2012 in the entertainment industry. Their presentation this year begins with the scene of an abandoned drive-in movie theater and thereafter shows Andy before all the others who left us. It is
