Some of my all-time favorite things: The Andy Griffith Show. Pure American. Rock & Roll music. Great guitar playing. And last but not least.... James "Jimmy" Best. One of my all-time faves from that era. I loved him in the Loan Ranger. Loved him in a lot of the other Westerns. And absolutely loved him as Roscoe P. Coltrain, in The Dukes of Hazard. Koo koo koo! But one of my favorite childhood memories was watching him on The Andy Griffith Show, as Jim Lindsey. This is still GOLD!

@p.g.8138 3 жыл бұрын

I found a website when James was alive. It was James selling his artwork. He had a contact email. I told him he was a really good guitar player. He messaged me back saying he wasn't really playing. He actually thought it was kind of funny me asking that. He was a pretty big star to take time to message me back. He was just a really nice guy. One of my favorite episodes of Andy.

Rather than being a product of the negative influences of that generation, how about we endeavour to move beyond those to synthesize something better? If we don't, there's only one destination for all of us.

James Best played in a TON of westerns in the 50s & 60s, starting in 1950. And he played in some non-westerns too. He's obviously not playing the guitar on this recorded event, but he could play guitar. He also wrote songs. His uncle was Ike Everly, one of the best guitarist in the south, who teamed up at times with one of the greatest guitar players that ever lived, Merle Travis. Ike Everly was the father of Don & Phil Everly-The Everly Brothers, who are in the RocknRoll Hall of Fame AND the Country Music Hall of Fame. And yes, Although James Best was NOT in the same league with Ike Everly, he COULD play. Dang good actor too. R.I.P. JAMES BEST

I'm in my 60's now and like to think I'm one hip Nana. I grew up watching this show. So now with all these tv apps I still watch it everyday to get away, relax and calm down. It's holsomness gives me a break from a lot of the garbage that's aired on tv today. I can't get enough of the great old folk songs they did like "Riding on that new river train". That tune stays in my head for days. I love it.

That’s the guitar playing of the great Herb Ellis. I took a lesson from Herb once, and he told me all about it., he said they had a Fender Twin amp and Telecaster there for him and they had a great deli table for when the filming was over.

James Best couldn't play, but lied to the producers and said that he could...and with the Everly Brothers being his first cousins, they believed him.

Wrong! Barney Kessel, a guitarist for the Wrecking Crew, played the guitar on this episode. Best could play guitar, but he wasn't a professional musician by any means.

Lol!! I tell you what? This scene never gets old watching. I mean Barney is just to hilarious in the way he was getting dwn. And yep!! You are absolutely right about that, that they just don't make good shows anymore. I mean, I grew up watching the Carol Brunette show, Laugh in, The Andy Griffith show, so many others. And to watch Tim Conway try and make Harvey laugh, and Carol, is, and always will be priceless. I'm so glad we have a way to watch them on DVD'S now.

It's amazing that that show is still being aired on television I guess around 60 years since it was first shown. It was some very very good television.

... Which is why it is still being aired today. Hopefully, shows like Andy Griffith will be showing in 100 years from now. Keeping the classics alive gives newer generations a glimpse into history, first hand.

I'm about 2 months shy of 50 years and grew up watching reruns of Andy Griffith. My favorite way to spend an hour in the late 70s-mid 80's on a Friday night was watching Dukes of Hazzard. Look how young Roscoe is! I don't remember this episode but I knew it was James Best as soon as I heard his voice. Daisy is still my first love...the REAL Daisy (Catherine Bach)...not that wanna be Jessica Simpson!
