strange....I find it to be a real toe tapper

J.P. Wamble. Bet it makes grandma cry too.

The version I always heard was, "Never Hit Yer Mother in the Head With a Shovel, It Leaves a Dull Impression on Her Mind"...

He's right!

JamAlong Music Method™ uncle jesse

No truer words ever spoken!

sounds like my family lol

Got time to breath, got time to smoke

There’s truth in that statement best thing ive heard while getting ready for work 😃 🎼

Music is good 🤗

Amen 🙏

Great music knows no color!

@@1gallimaufry that's right!!

Same here, but I'm 29 year old Mexican from east LA

Clearly you were raised right!

Black/African Americans also Influenced Folk and Country Music. After all the Banjo is an West African instrument and word. It kinda sucks that we only listen to rap and hip hop nowadays.

best of luck have FUN ! 😊

Well...how did that end up? Good for you for trying!

Darlings

The Dillard's are their real name.

it is sure that time may seem to be endless but it feeds on us, our fathers and our sons! in fact, we need to make sure to leave a walk-able path for the other one coming after in this so long parade! as from time to time one pulls out to make room and it goes on and on, and the memories stay.

A little trivia: Doug Dillard played the banjo part on Glen Campbell’s Gentle on My Mind. A lot of folks thought it was John Hartford due to the fact that Hartford wrote the song.

The Dillards got this Mexican into blue grass music growing up as a child watching the Andy Griffith show. Still love it

Sending my sympathies to you

Rodney Dillard is from Salem, MO in SEMO.

***** I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here? She was saying that she likes the music..

Because double negatives and stuff

True double negatives actually do make it seem like she means she doesn't like it

Rachel Krizik just makes you wanna flail about😂

Good song

It's American music, and you're American. I'm American. This music is part of OUR history.

Pretty sure they couldn't speak because then they would have to be credited as actors and therefore be paid.

Glad it’s not just me with tears. Always watched it with my dad on his lunch hour as a little girl. He’s gone now, and this pulls at my heart ❤

This is racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and transphobic all rolled into one

Many of us can say something similar but at the same time that you have tears do feel a smile on your face for the happy memories ? Have a great day everyone !

Maples01 Your pic makes what you posted kind of funny.

Lilly Garfield I use it because that seems to be what people are interested in when they see my wheelchair, as if that is all there is to life, "does it work," is on the top ten of questions asked.

+Maples01 don't make my think of the old days,IT MAKES MY CRY ! wa, wa ,wa

Danny Thompson Go back to your scripted reality shows, bet Kim K is your idol

I agree Maples I can't stand anything they have on tv it's all total garbage that's why I went out and bought the Beverly hill billys all of the andy Griffith show and I got my hands on the old Adams family and that's all I watch.

Had they spoken they would have to be paid.

really ? Did they make it to Nashville?

what about the woman that played Charline?

@@concretecowboy3 I Know Mr. Brisco & Charlene & Dud Are The Only Ones That Spoke .

From the Album with John Hartford(the guy that wrote Gentle on my mind,amongst other great songs)Dillard,Hartford and Dillard...two hit's and the joint turned brown....Yeah....Those same guys!

Hey how are you doing today…?

20 year old female, a mexican immigrant, but this show brings back crazy memories. My grandpa and great grandpa has lived in mexico all their lives, but commuted to Texas to make good money for their family back home. My great grandfather always talked about how he and His father would help the ranchers as cattle hands, guarding the livestock, moving them across long distances, and all this while great grand dad was only a 14 year old kid with his father. He said, ironically, back in those days there wasnt really much racism like it was now. All men worked and pulled their weight and that was pretty much the only determining factor in the matter. My great grandfather and grandfather worked hard for years, saving every penny, so that my family could have a shot one day. Me and grandpa would watch this show all the time, and he loved the episodes with the darlings. His accent was always heavy, his English broken and flawed, but he's never been much of a talker anyway. However, when he'd play his guitar or banjo at get togethers, after the mexican folk songs were over and the rest of his mariachi friends went home, he'd always play some bluegrass, and never once did his accent slip. He'd play this song just for me. "His girl" and told me that no matter what I may experience in America (I was still very young and new to the country) or may hear from people, I have roots in this great country, and came from hard working men who had just as much if a hand in building this place as anyone else, and to judge the country not by anything negative I may hear, but by what the country is offering me, which is a chance, opportunity, protection, freedom. Everytime I hear this song in particular I think about Grandpa, how strong and confident his voice was when he sang the words, how his broken English never showed through on this song he knew every syllable and sound to by heart. Him and great grandad were true gentlemen of a bygone era. Some of us may not have been around to experience these times, but thats exactly why we should treasure and share and cherish this kinf of music, the wonderful, beautiful relics of our past, a past that, while not being born in this country, I am proud to say feel like they belong to me, as well.

Lol agreed

LOL!!! Robert!! I LITERALLY Laughed out loud at the IQ points comment - well said!

Robert Hollis ya know i think a single father raising a kid should take this show to heart. Its almost kind of a manual for parenting.

Sorry to report that I saw this when it was first broadcast.

@@sebastiangrumman8507 Me old also same age as Ron Howard born on month earlier.

I’m 65 and still watch Andy Griffith every night… of course they’re repeats but I don’t get tired of watching them… btw Andy produced quite many albums… good songs like little brown church in the vale, seveveral others… Che it it out… he has a great singing voice…

Funny how the noys never talk in the show but they cam singi love them when they are on andy giffin

Thank you!

Heck yeah!

Thanks Andrea! Check out our new album (it’s on our channel).

Andy H Ernest T. Great.

It's me,it's me! It's Earnest T!

Love Charlene

Nothing like seeing Barney in a wedding dress. LOL. I love this song too. Good ole bluegrass and good ole Dillards.

It was incredible being on the show.

Hello how are you doing today?

​@@honestj820😢

Hello friend, how're you doing today??

I’m 13. Griffith died when I was 6. I watch this show every day

This one was on this week in Boston.

Literally just watched this episode

Thank you for your service to your community. May you always return home safely to your family🙏

Don't ever read a book about Andy. You will crash hard.

I used much of that philosophy too, in my early adulthood and some for my child's learning. I had a long-time girlfriend in the late 80's that called me Andy Griffith in stone-washed jeans!

Back in 1987 I worked with a guy at a semiconductor factory in Scotland who said that Bluegrass was Scottish music. Of course he was right because originally, it certainly was. We talked and found that we both played Scottish music so he invited me to his home for dinner and we played for hours what Americans call Bluegrass. It sure was fun to travel so far only to feel right at home.

Greg Bramlett ..... hello Greg how are you doing I hope you had a great weekend can we talk if you don't mind 8438827088 that my number just text me

Greg Bramlett, my favorite on the show was Doug's Tune. It was in the episode "Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bee". One of my favorite episodes! The other favorite is the one with Colonel Harvey! 😂😂😂

They were a real group of musicians

Mine too, because they sing Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.

Hello how are you doing today?

a son

A good woman to properly cork the bottles.

Marcus Guenther Amen!

haha that and say ''more power to yah'' when a cops around XD

Hello how are you doing today…?

Thank you sir!

It's a great one!

Your mother-in-law didn't know this song?! What planet is she from?

@@mdhbigdog New York City?

But Maggie Peterson did continue to join the Dillards on stage many times to sing with them, on and off for over 30 years after the Andy Griffith show had ended. So in a way she did become a member, or honorary member. All because they met and performed together on the tv show. Maggie's husband (Gus Mancuso) was a professional musician too.

There’s a pretty amazing version of this out there on you tube by a brilliant young guy by the name of Josh Turner and some musical friends of his. Great bluegrass music is alive and well.

Absolutely. But then I am a banjo player so I always study the greats.

I'd love love love to learn to play the banjo!!!!!!!!!!!

@@jessicacurtis5599 All you gotta do is go buy one. I recommend that Deering Goodtime open back for beginners. It's only about $500 on Amazon. A very solid instrument at half the price of others.

Me

Well, hell, you gotta RIP them all. Hoke Howell (Dud), Don Knotts (Barney), Doug Dillard (banjo), Mitch Jayne (bass), and Dean Webb (mandolin) are all gone, too. Only Rod Dillard (guitar/lead vocals) and Maggie Peterson (Charlene) are left from that scene as of 2/7/2021.

Hello 👋 sherry How are you doing today?

Hello friend, how're you doing today??

That is awesome - check out our new album on our channel, you would really like it (Don Henley, Herb Pedersen, Bernie Leadon, and many more).

Modern American Bluegrass is a mix of Scottish and North Irish music, with a dash of English and German thrown in. And let's not forget the Italians who gave us the mandolin or the West Africans who gave us the banjo. There's a reason why America is called "the melting pot".

@@benjamingrist6539 it is also influenced by jazz

Hello how are you doing today…?

We know it! Rodney, our lead singer, was 19 at the time! Craziness.

JEFFREY COX ...... hello Jeffrey how are you doing I hope you had a great weekend can we talk privately if you don't mind TeX me on my number 8438827088

Hello how are you doing today..?

I can recommend some pickers, not so much pa playlist. Steve Martin, and the Steep Canyon Rangers are about as hot in Bluegrass as anyone these days. Billy Strings is a young guitar master who is carrying the torch. The Steeldrivers are also a very polished bluegrass band with an outstanding fiddle player. I'm partial to their material with Chris Stapleton. Another interesting band is The Dead South. Of course, there's the traditional, old school guys...Earl Scruggs, Bill Monroe, The Stanley Bros. There's the classic Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Album, "Will The Circle Be Un broken", the album "Old And In The Way", featuring Jerry Garcia on banjo. As a banjo picker, I can tell you right now that you will have very little success trying to play bluegrass on a 4 string banjo. A 5 string is almost required to play bluegrass, that 5th string makes all the difference...but, by all means, learn to pick that 4 stringer, whatever you play! After all, if ya got time to breathe, ya got time for music!

Hello friend, how're you doing today??

Tank u the find music the Dillard family it bring back some good and old times and god bless the ones we lost

Amen 🤗

Hello friend, how're you doing today??

I'm in my 80's now, but back in the early sixties while I was practicing 'turns around a point' for my Commercial Pilot's License I noticed a small plume of smoke coming from an island in the middle of a swamp......I used that plume as a target and circled it for 15 minutes or so.......when I returned my rented Cessna 150 to the FBO, we discovered two bullet holes in the left wing.......missed the fuel tank, Thank the Lord! Never did that again, not in S. Georgia! Maybe that's why I'm in my '80s now!

Hello how are you doing today….?
