  14. James Best in Andy Griffith

    in James Best / Rosco P. Coltrane

    ... if you ask Jimmie if he plays the guitar, he'll say "Arrrrrre you kiddin'?! I've got three of 'em!"

    I can just hear him saying that in a Rosco way.

    Thanks for the great pics MaryAnne. There are some wonderful lines in these shows, and the charges Andy makes up to arrest Fleet could easily have been made up by Boss to arrest the Duke boys. There were other things that reminded me of Dukes too. I could imagine Enos saying some of the deputy's lines, and the mayor is a chubby man with a white cowboy hat. The way Jim (Jimmie) eats his food in the prison cell was quite Boss-like as well. If I hadn't checked the cast list, I would never have recognized a 6 year old Ronnie Howard, or have remembered that I recognized the deputy (Don Knotts) from 'Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo'.

    The second episode with Jimmie is here:

    The Andy Griffith Show (S1E31) - "The Guitar Player Returns"

    Definitely recommended viewing for anyone who hasn't seen it.

    Maybe we should ask the moderators for a lonely hearts section :). All I want is a woman who likes Dukes and muscle cars, and has recently won the lottery (the last one's negotiable :)).

    Sorry guys, I've got a confession - this wasn't a serious suggestion, although it's been fun watching the reactions to this thread. It would be great to meet someone who also liked Dukes, and this is a good place to start, but as Roger said, PMs should do the job. Of course Roger is living proof that mixed marriages can work, ie. he's a Dukes fan, his wife isn't :).

    In reality I'd probably be too shy to try it anyway - I prefer meeting people face to face. I think my favorite lonely heart advert (in a newspaper) was 'Lady who would never place advert seeks man who would never answer one' - I thought 'that's me - I've found a soul mate', so what else could I do - I didn't answer it :).

  24. Anyone a Billy Joel fan out there?

    They are the best piano players. I love listening to them both.

    I saw Tori Amos live at the London Palladium on her 'Under the Pink' tour (I guess about 1994). The show was just her and her piano - it was great. Here's Happy Phantom if you're unfamiliar with her.

    A couple of other talented pianists I would recommend are Ben Folds and Bruce Hornsby:

    The Way It Is - Bruce Hornsby & The Range (as sampled in 2Pac's 'Changes')

    Almost forgot a tune that's being used on a supermarket advert in the UK at the moment:

    On The Rebound - Floyd Cramer
