That one line "about to Pop" is the only line they spoke, according to Mitch Jayne (bass player) when he used to speak at Mayberry events.
They were paid musician wages, and if they had lines, they would have to be paid actor wages, as I understand it. Congrats to the "Boys" on their recent honor. Thanks for sharing that news!! That brings up another possible item of discussion. If they could have spoken a few more words..What would they have said, when?? "not so fast Sheriff.. you already communed with my sister, so yer marryin' her" "Can we clean more floors, or do we have to take a bath too Paw?" "I'd pass on the fish muddle too. Her Beaver stew is much better" "so that's what a city woman looks like. Right pretty, but a little fancified for me. How much can she tote? "DESSERT!!" "How come Dud can talk and he just joined the family a few months ago?" The possibilities are endless. The Untrained Voice Ken, I like your frying pan clobber theory-I just wanted to offer one a little less violent. Would a Sheriff without a gun wield a pan?? _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
