This is a short interview I did with Doug Dillard back in 1998. Doug is an amazing banjo picker and to see the speed that his fingers move around those strings is amazing. Doug has been at EVERY Mayberry Days event since it began and this year will be the 20th Annual Mayberry Days. In recent years his brother, Rodney, has been joining him for two shows at Mayberry Days.
I’ll be talking a little bit about Mayberry Days after the interview. Hopefully I can help all you fans better understand why fans of The Andy Griffith Show travel each year to Andy Griffith’s home town of Mt. Airy, NC to celebrate the fun and laughs of Mayberry Days. Ever year there are different events, jokes, skits, and new folk in town so Mayberry Days is always different but with spirit of Mayberry spread throughout.
The Dillards will be inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium on October 1, 2009.
The interview was recorded on 26 June 1998 in Kingsport, TN.
