The format of the newsletter, and the name, changed over those years but whether from <em>The Bullet, The eBullet, The Pocket, or The Button<\/em> the information provided was timeless.  Because of that timelessness and because so many of you likely never saw the stories published in the early days of TAGSRWC, <em>Weaver&#8217;s Newsletter<\/em> asked if we could re-publish articles fans may have missed or forgotten. Permission was granted so here&#8217;s our first &#8220;rerun.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Mayberry Mountain People<br>by Ken Beck<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Featured in The Bullet: Volume 1, Issue 2 &#8211; Published March 18, 1983)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/WeaversDepartmentStore.com\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/dillards_andy_denver_front_church.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/WeaversDepartmentStore.com\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/dillards_andy_denver_front_church.jpg\" alt=\"Andy with The Dillards (Doug Dillard, Dean Webb, Rodney Dillard, Mitch Jayne, and Denver Pyle)\" class=\"wp-image-5476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/WeaversDepartmentStore.com\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/dillards_andy_denver_front_church.jpg 640w, https:\/\/WeaversDepartmentStore.com\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/dillards_andy_denver_front_church-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Andy with The Dillards (Doug Dillard, Dean Webb, Rodney Dillard, Mitch Jayne, and Denver Pyle)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Remember the hillbilly folks of Mayberry? Sure you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who could ever forget mountain patriarch Briscoe Darling; his four handsome, musically inclined sons; sweet-smiling daughter, Charlene and. that wild man of the hills, brick-throwing Ernest T. Bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, where are they now? Whatever happened to the Mayberry mountaineers? Here&#8217;s a little follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Briscoe Darling, alias Denver Pyle, has left the mountains of North Carolina for the flat- lands of Hazzard County. And now, instead of four sons, he&#8217;s got himself a peck of trouble with four nephews and a niece. That&#8217;s right. He&#8217;s Uncle Jesse on &#8220;The Dukes of Hazzard.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, between Sheriff Andy Taylor and Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane, Denver Pyle passed through a whole passel of TV series. Among his TV credits are &#8220;Tommy, &#8220;The Doris Day Show,&#8221; and &#8220;The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams.&#8221; (Roscoe P. Coltrane, by the way, is played by James Best who also portrayed Andy&#8217;s guitar-playing buddy, Jim Lindsey, on TAGS.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pyle, though, is really from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. He was wounded in World War II off Guadalcanal. He then returned stateside to study drama. His early roles were with Roy Rogers and Gene Autry in their TV series. Top film credits of Pyle include &#8220;Bonnie and Clyde,&#8221; &#8220;Five Card Stud;&#8221; &#8220;Bandolero,&#8221; &#8220;Shenandoah,&#8221; and &#8220;The Man who Shot Liberty Valance.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now for &#8220;the boys,&#8221; as Mr. Darling often referred to his four &#8220;fun-loving, warm, and amusing sons.&#8221; The Darling boys were in real life The Dillards. A bluegrass band fresh out of the Ozark mountains, the quartet left their hometown of Salem, Missouri, and headed across the country to Hollywood. There were numerous breakdowns on the way, though, and The Dillards had to make a few stops to earn a little traveling money before they reached their destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, they hit The Ash Grove, an L.A. bluegrass-club, where the four played while an Electra Records executive sat in the audience. He liked what he heard and soon offered The Dillards a recording contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At about the same time, &#8220;The Andy Griffith Show\u201d was looking for a bluegrass group to play the Darling boys. The Dillards auditioned and got the role on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original Dillards were made up of brothers Doug and Rodney Dillard and their friends Dean Webb and Mitchell Jayne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doug now has his own bluegrass group, The Doug Dillard Band, while Rodney still leads The Dillards. Dean Webb is still in the group with Rodney, while Mitchell Jayne returned to Salen to become a writer (a quite successful one according to Doug). In fact, one story, &#8220;Old Fish Hawk,&#8221; has been made into a movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doug, meanwhile, has recorded quite a few albums and has a new one coming out this spring. Rodney has just come out with Earl Scruggs on a single, &#8220;Sitting on Top of the World.&#8221; The brothers still jam together occasionally, and they are close friends with John Hartford, another Missouri native, and with ex-Byrd member Gene Clark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doug Dillard has also been featured in a couple of films lately. He appeared in Bette Midler&#8217;s &#8220;The Rose&#8221; and in &#8220;Popeye&#8221; as (what else?) the banjo player. He also did most of the banjo music for &#8220;Bonnie and Clyde.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dillards and Doug&#8217;s band both work out of Nashville, but both also return frequently to Salem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doug has fond memories of TAGS and says &#8220;being on that show was probably the highlight of my career.&#8221; He can only recall one line that the brothers ever spoke on the show, and that was &#8220;great beans, Aunt Bee,&#8221; after Aunt Bee had fed the boys at the jail on one occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Margaret &#8220;Maggie&#8221; Ann Peterson played The Darlings&#8217; sister, Charlene. After TAGS, she did a few feature films, but most were small roles. We don&#8217;t know just quite what she&#8217;s doing these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as for Ernest T. Bass, he was played by Howard Morris. He was a regular on Sid Caesar&#8217;s &#8220;Your Show of Shows,&#8221; and he has portrayed all sorts of characters other than the cantankerous yet hilarious Ernest T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most recently, he was on Mary Tyler Moore&#8217;s variety show as a regular performer. He is now in New York where he is quite successful as a producer and director of commercials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His most recent film role was in Mel Brooks&#8217; &#8220;History of the World, Part I.&#8221; His feature film directing credits include: &#8220;Who&#8217;s Minding the Mint,&#8221; &#8220;With Six You Get Eggroll,&#8221; and &#8220;Don&#8217;t Drink the Water.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As writer, director, actor, and comedian, Morris has received plaudits for his work in all fields. Nowadays, he is specializing in directing TV commercials where he has won Cleo and Andy awards for his excellence from various advertising councils. You may have seen his handiwork in commercials for such giants as McDonald&#8217;s hamburgers, Jif peanut butter, K-Mart, and Kellogg&#8217;s Rice Krispies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, we have Bob Denver (well known as Maynard G. Krebs on &#8220;Dobie Gillis\u201d and as the star of &#8220;Gilligan&#8217;s Island&#8221;) who once appeared as Charlene&#8217;s husband, Dud. He&#8217;s still acting and just recently starred as a chemist in NBC&#8217;s &#8220;The Invisible Woman.&#8221; (And, by the way, Alan Hale, who played the Skipper on \u201cGilligan&#8217;s\u201d also played Mayberry farmer Jeff Pruitt in one TAGS episode. Hale can still be seen playing occasional guest spots on television)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayberry&#8217;s mountain folks keep on climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f6f6f6;grid-template-columns:auto 39%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\" style=\"padding-top:2em;padding-right:2em;padding-bottom:2em;padding-left:2em\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" style=\"line-height:1.2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weaversdepartmentstore.com\/catalog.php?item=549\"><strong>Barbershop Hair Styles Print<\/strong><\/a><br>($12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Weaver has been working with Floyd to bring you a recreation of the &#8220;Official Hair Styles for MEN and BOYS&#8221; print that hangs in Floyd&#8217;s Barber Shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The print is 16&#8243;x 20&#8243; on heavy weight stock.
