a knife to barney fife's throat -- 11/20/18 November 15, 2018
Today's encore selection -- from Andy and Don by Daniel de Visé. Don Knotts vaulted to national fame in the 1960s as Barney Fife, the exasperatingly comical deputy sheriff and sidekick to Andy Griffith in the Andy of Mayberry sitcom. Just as Barney's false bravado masked his insecurities, so Don's ascent to stardom masked a […]
