[@normdaduck]

Thank you so much for the kind words

[@margarethensley251]

That was a great video. I love the Andy Griffith show

[@candismith4080]

Oh my goodness this video was just the best! I still watch Andy Griffith reruns on my tv. One person that I did not hear mentioned was Aunt Bee...did he have any info on her. Just loved her character. Can't wait for the next installment of Mayberry here on your KZbin channel. Thank you for an hour well spent!

[@Mrs.Frankenstein]

Francis Bavier who played Aunt Bee actually lived a few towns over in Siler City, North Carolina. That's where she's buried. They say she was a hermit. She had a bunch of cats and a really big house and her house actually went up for sale last year the year before. Her accent was also really good acting lol. She was hard to work with from reading different books, and one time she broke an umbrella over Goobers head for saying a bad word lol.

[@normdaduck]

Yes have lots of aunt bea stories, unfortunately the tour is only so long, come visit and I'll be sure to share some more details with you

[@doncolincreative]

Norm was a treat! Learned so much about a subject I thought I knew well. John, a perfect example of why the Appalachian Channel resonates you put the spotlight on the people. Good job.

[@theappalachianchannel]

Thank you

[@mikebrumbelow887]

Great video guys! Stop by Sycamore Shoals State Park near Johnson City and do a video on the Over Mountain men during the American Revolution. Many of us in the Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia area are related to these men who fought the British at King's Mountain and don't even know it. John Sevier and Davy Crockett's father fought there. It was a turning point in the American Revolution. Great job guys, keep up the good work!

[@shawnmeyer2788]

He is a great tour guide! Great video!

[@theappalachianchannel]

Glad you enjoyed it! Norm is great!

[@normdaduck]

Thank you so much it's my pleasure

[@robertpirtle3638]

My bucket list is getting big my friend. Places I want to go from watching your channel. But this is probably my favorite. I love that show. Andy Griffith and Rawhide, are my favorite old shows. I’ve been late to work over a good one being on in the morning. That’s saying something. Because normally I’m around 22 minutes early to work every day and never mis . That’s why I don’t turn the tv on in the morning. 😊

Thanks so much for the endorsement lol

[@kathybaker6798]

Interesting show

[@llongdong]

God. God. What is it about the human mind that makes nostalgia so FREAKING sad??? I guess it's the clarification of the fact that we're all going to die, and much sooner than we once thought. Whatever it is, it is FREAKING sad.

[@mom4966]

Love the teenager references!

funny but true lol
