Tonight you’ll get to hear from Gary Crain who is a wonderful Gomer Plye tribute artist and his voice is not to be missed. He sounds so much like Gomer you’ll swear he was right c’here in this room.

This is the first of a three part interview with David “The Mayberry Deputy” Browning.  David is the Barney Fife tribute artist who appears at Mayberry Days each year and at other Mayberry events throughout the country.  David was THE Barney who Don Knotts would request to open his “An Evening with Don Knotts” shows as “Barney.”  That alone says a lot about the David and his portrayal of the Mayberry deputy character.

In this segment of the interview with David he speaks about how he started as The Mayberry Deputy and about working with Mr. Knotts.

We finish up our interview with Kenneth “Otis” Junkin.  This interview also has Tim “Goober” Pettigrew joining us toward the end of Ken’s interview.

Thank you for all the kind e-mails I’ve received about the podcast.  I hope some of you will take time to call our toll-free number and be a part of future episodes.

A quick correction if you listened to episode 9, the toll-free number I gave out on that episode was WRONG.  I wrote the number down wrong so I said the wrong number in episode 9. In this episode I give you the correct number.  Sorry about that.

I’m not telling you the number. You’ll have to listen to episode to find out but we hope to hear from you with your questions or comments about past episodes or TAGS.

The first of a 2 part interview with Kenneth “Otis” Junkin.  Ken has been playing Otis for a while and everyone seems to love Otis. That may be related to the fact that Ken is playing Otis and he’s a person folks love to be around.

We have a special shout out to the boys in kaki serving over seas from a special guest.

If you’re not overseas (i.e. you’re in the US) we now have a toll-free number where you can call and be a part of future episodes. I’m not telling you the number. You’ll have to listen to episode to find out (NOTE: I gave the WRONG Number out on this episode so don’t call it. I corrected it on the next episode.) but we hope to hear from you with your questions or comments about past episodes or TAGS.

Thank you all for the kind words you’ve been saying about the Two Chairs No Waiting Mayberry Internet Radio Show.  I’m moving away from just saying “podcast” because so many don’t understand you can listen to the episodes even if you don’t have an iPod or MP3 player. You can listen right from our web site. http://mayberry.com/podcasts/  Thanks for listening

I would love to hear from even more of you fine folks so leave a comment, question, and/or Mayberry experience for us all to share.

I’ve turned up the production value of this episode a little bit by adding some background music while I’m talking. The VW Boys we kind enough to give me permission to use their music on the podcast..err…internet radio show so I want to thank them.  Let me know what you think and drop by their web site to thank them for supporting Two Chairs No Waiting.

Part 1 of our two part interview with Goober Pyle tribute artist Tim Pettigrew. The interview, as well as several upcoming episodes, was recorded on the Cruise to Mayberry 3 which occurred in early November 2008.

You’ll enjoy this interview with Tim. He’s a great guy and can sew up his fingers better than anybody other than George Lindsey himself.

I would love to hear from you!  Leave some comments, questions, and/or Mayberry experiences for me.
