Being a fan of old time radio, I am aware that Mary McGoon was a regular on the Bob and Ray show. However I am not sure of any phrase that Bob and Ray used that Andy appropriated. The only one that comes to mind is "write if you get work".
Speaking of old time radio, Andy was a big fan of radio. His early records play like a radio show. Don Knotts relates his first meeting with Andy in his book "Barney Fife And Other Characters I Have Known". Don says when he first met Andy, Andy asked Don "Do you appear on the Bobby Benson Radio show?" In fact Don did play the part of Windy Wales on the Bobby Benson show. That was an indication that Andy was a big fan of old time radio, being able to recognize Don just by his voice. Orville Hendricks - Peddling Butter and Eggs. Several times when I took butter and eggs to the Taylor household, Beatrice Taylor was listening to soap operas on the radio. She was so worried about Cynthia. _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the old busy.
