Two Chairs No Waiting

Last week we spoke of TAGSRWCs 30th Anniversary and this week I’m following up with the “Who’s Been Messin’ Up the Bulletin Board?” Chapter’s 18th Anniversary.  I’ll talk a bit about the WBMUTBB Chapter but to give you a heads up, it was the first official online chapter of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers club and over time has produced to date 4,966 editions of the WBMUTBB Digest daily newsletter.

Don’t worry…I’m going to throw in some trivia for you to test yourself with as well.  Not just ANY trivia either. This will be a few questions from the “Super Bowl of Mayberry Trivia” held each year during Mayberry Days in Mt. Airy, NC.  These questions are HARD so don’t feel bad if you don’t know them.  I’ll throw in an easy one or two so folks like me can feel good about getting one right.

Don’t forget to leave comments or ask questions on the Mayberry.com/podcasts website or using the contact information given in the podcast. We’d love to have you be a part of our next feedback episode.

Two Chairs No Waiting

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.
