29 Apr 99 - 10:33 PM (#74453) Subject: Song From 'Andy Griffith Show' Question From: doris1@earthlink.com I was watching the old Andy Griffith Show today and they had a folk band on that was supposed to be a hillbilly family which they called the "Darlings". Anyway, they and Andy played a song called "Dooly" which was about a moonshiner and I thought it was really cool. So I'd like to find out more about it, like lyrics/music, so I could play it. So, any help would be...........ahhhhh helpful. Thanks, Mark |

(They are very good, too, and have dropped the hillbilly personna since the Andy Griffith show). Loretta |

It struck me how times, (or myself?) have changed. When I first saw that particular show many years ago, I thought it was NEAT! When I recently saw it the cynicism of age had crept in. While I still thoroughly enjoyed the music, the thought struck as to how these folks, evidently not the top of the social heap of Mayberry could afford all those fine instruments! |

Walk down the streets of any "Mayberry, USA" and you will see $30,000 bass boats parked in front of hovels. You just learn after awhile to put your money into the things which matter most to you. Don't we all do that to one degree or another? My guitar looks a hell of a lot better than that old Ford in the driveway! |

30 Apr 99 - 10:08 AM (#74593) Subject: RE: Song From 'Andy Griffith Show' Question From: Steve Latimer Also bear in mind that it is the collectable market that has increased the value of those instruments to their current ridiculous level. An old Martin Guitar or Gibson Mandolin or Mastertone banjo sure didn't sell for anywhere near the thousands of dollars that they get now, even factoring in inflation. It drives me crazy that a lot of these instruments are now bought and sold as a commodities, often to be locked away and never played or to be G,C,Ded by some BMW driving, Hilfigger (gofigger) wearing collector. I would love to see some set up where a musician earns intsruments based on their ability to play them. Unfortunately my mediocre Mansfield 5 string and Yamaha guitar would be taken away and I would be given a shoe box and rubber bands.

30 Apr 99 - 08:29 PM (#74731) Subject: RE: Song From 'Andy Griffith Show' Question From: Banjer You all are right, the value has so inflated that which used to be relatively inexpensive entertainment. My Lord, Steve, if they were to award instruments by accomplishments I'm afraid I'd still be beating the dickens out of the bottom of an old coffee can with a wooden spoon! |

I would like to thank everbody, as I enjoyed all the comments. I agree that Gibsons and the like are overpriced, especialy the new ones which are too often of poor quality anyway. Anyway, thanks to all. Mark |
