Airy, NC. Running time: 0:14:53 Host: Allan Newsome Special Guest: Doug Dillard Running time: 0:14:53 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.

The focus of this episode is the world famous Pork Chop Sandwich and where the idea for serving it came from. As I've said before, if you're ever in Mt. Airy be sure to have a pork chop sandwich "all the way" because, as Andy might say, "They're gooooood!" Recorded in April 1998 in the back room of The Snappy Lunch so you'll here dishes, pots and pans knocking against one another as the workers get orders ready.

Running time: 10:56 Host: Allan Newsome Special Guest: Charles Dowell Running time: 0:10:56 We've had folks asking about the folks that live in Mt. Airy, Andy's real hometown,  and interviewing them. The last two episodes were an interview I did with Russell Hiatt from over at Floyd's Barbershop so I felt like it was very fitting to continue the theme this week with Charles Dowell. Charles is the owner of The Snappy Lunch and the creator of the world famous Pork Chop Sandwich.  All kinds of famous people have visited The Snappy Lunch.  Charles is a fixture in Mt. Airy and offers a personal view of the town and the people who live in and visit Mt. Airy. The interview was recorded in April 1998 in the back room of The Snappy Lunch there are dishes hitting each other and folks getting orders ready that can be heard in the background.

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.
