"Andy Griffith is my favorite show of all time. I have a question about a song I heard him sing to someone who was in jail--something about dig my grave with a silver spade, dig it wide and deep....I so badly want the lyrics to that song and can't find them anywhere. If anyone knows where I can get them please let me know. Thanks" - Bill from Delaware

"Someone asked, regarding this episode, "what is fish muttle and what kind of fish is used"? Members of my family have always made fish muttle. We always used either catfish or rock fish, (also known as stripers). We always cooked it in an old black pot, usually in large quantities to feed a gathering. A few pounds of smoked side meat to start, then fish and onions and a little water. Cook it down to a fairly thick consistency, (it usually takes only 2 hours or less). When done, add a little margerine or butter. Then ENJOY !!! I must tell you - THIS DISH IS NOT FOR EVERYONE!!! It is definately an aquired taste. If you want to give it a try, here is a small recipie; 2 lbs SMOKED SIDE MEAT 20 lbs FISH 12 lbs ONIONS A LITTLE WATER (enough to cook it in) 1/2 lbs MARGERINE Give it a try. I LOVE IT !!! But remember, its not for every body. Brunswickreb@aol.com " - Tracy Clary from Brunswick County, Virginia

"I heard Andy Griffith being interviewed for TVLand and he says that the shows Make-up man named Ed Jenkins played banjo in the episodes with The Dillards, this struck me as odd because I am almost positive its Doug Dillard, is it not? My favorite line is by Briscoe Darling about his boys as they stood there stonfaced: "Their all keyed up"." - Matthew from San Rafael, Ca

"The tune "Old Joseph" is played in D#. On a 5-string banjo in G-tuning you capo up to the 7th fret and then tune up another 1/2 step (I know this is real high but if you're used to picking Old Joe Clark in G this works). An archtop banjo will sound best. I love that part where Andy and Barney have driven up the river, get out of the patrol car, and can hear the music wafting out of the woods!" - John from North Georgia
