They weren’t criminals, but I think Andy was kind of a bad guy. It looks like William Shatner and the Dad off the Brady Bunch, and Angie Dickinson were in it, too. Along with a few others.
Andy getting frisky in a cerveza el bar.
Oh, and Andy could be a really mean sumbitch. Got to spend quite a bit of time around him as a kid when he was doing "Matlock" and I'll just say he may have left the south, but it certainly didn't leave him. Don Knotts on the other hand was one of the top three most awesome humans I have ever met.

Thanks for posting. RIDE ON!!!
This, for me as a guitar player, is a very significant picture. Anyone know why?
Side note : I looked at that pic you posted and my very first thought was...." I wonder if there are any bass in there? " Haha. I always think that on remote lakes.

The guitar he's playing here was purchased 2 years later by Tony Rice who is the GOAT of bluegrass flatpicking. That guitar is pretty damn famous all by itself being that it was owned by two legends and has some characteristic strange modifications.
One time I was jamming with Roland White- Clarence's brother, and to Andy's left with the mandolin. Just me and him. I suddenly realized that I was playing with CLARENCE'S BROTHER!!!! and it just about wiped me out, but Roland's the most humble guy in the world and I got over that.
Here is Marty Stuart with the original Stringbender talking about the history and how it was made.

Me... I've got a P/W B-Bender with a picture of Clarence stuck on the back:
Yeah Marty is an amazing resource of history in music.
I recently got into building and playing cigar box guitars, mostly 3 string fretless for playing slide.
Just something about that bending/sliding tone.

@JndMX: The Bender is a little like riding a 125. You gotta plan ahead. You have sit on THIS note in preparation for bending it to THAT note. After awhile, of course, you kind of get your bag of licks down and then it's more instinctive.
Post a reply to: Kinda neat Andy Griffith story (if you're old enough to remember him)
