The Andy Griffith Show

I grew up watching and loving The Andy Griffith Show. My favorite character was and always will be Deputy Barney Fife. Did you know his daughter in real life will be performing 3 shows in Hannibal, Missouri in July?

If you're a fan of classic television, there's a famous show with a direct Missouri connection you might not be aware of. Did you know the bluegrass band featured on many episodes of The Andy Griffith Show was really from Missouri? It's true and they're still around today.

I normally look forward to the Super Bowl. But, then again, normally there is a team in the Super Bowl that I at least kind of like. Not this year. Nope. It's the dreaded 49er's vs the dreaded Ravens. The understatement of the year is I don't have a dog in this fight.  (My apologies to Michael Vick for that metaphor)

By now, you have heard the news, and even read here, about the passing of Andy Griffith.
