Two Chairs No Waiting
(NOTE: Sorry for those that got the garbled version of the audio on this episode. I made an uploading mistake on the MP3 file. It should be correct now. -Allan)
This interview was recorded on April 24, 1998 when Jan and I took a trip up to Mt. Airy for a visit.
One big memory of this trip was watching my son who was born in December 1996 get his first haircut. Russell is the person who did that first haircut for Adam and he even has a certificate from Russell testifing to the fact of that first haircut.
This is the conclusion of our two part interview with Russell Hiatt who is owner of Floyd’s City Barber Shop in Andy Griffith’s hometown of Mt. Airy, NC.
Russell tells us about some of the things in Mt. Airy that talked about on The Andy Griffith Show. People come from all over the country to sit in the barber chair and visit with Russell.
