TCNW 681: From Lucy to Mayberry and Beyond

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:50:39 Granville, TN has an annual Mayberry/I Love Lucy Day and this years was held on April 9th. The special guest for the event was Keith Thibodeaux, the man who played Opie's friend "Johnny Paul" as well as "Little Ricky" on I Love Lucy. What a wonderful bridge between the two great television classics. Episode #295 of Two Chairs that featured Keith and I encourage you to give it a listen because while he does go into a bit of his time on The Andy Griffith Show in the presentation he did in Granville, he talked more about it back in episode 295. In Granville, Keith shared with us all his experience growing up in the entertainment industry. He talks about how he got his job on I Love Lucy and what that was like. His hits on the fun he had working on The Andy Griffith Show and then moves on to how his life after Mayberry played out. His struggles, reaching out to God, redemption, and joy. You will not want to miss a minute. Finally, we'll checkout this weeks installment of "Returning to Mayberry" by SpiritWalker called "Car Men to Guitar Men."
