At first intending
to become a minister, |
|
actor/monologist
Andy Griffith became |
|
active with the
Carolina Playmakers, the |
|
prestigious
drama-and-music adjunct of |
|
|
20 |
|
the University of
North Carolina--Chapel |
|
Hill. He spent
several seasons portraying |
|
Sir Walter Raleigh
in the summertime |
|
outdoor drama The
Lost Colony, spending |
|
|
30 |
|
the rest of the
years as a schoolteacher. |
|
Griffith continued
performing fitfully as |
|
an after-dinner
speaker on the men's club |
|
circuit, developing
hilariously bucolic |
|
|
40 |
|
routines on subjects
ranging from |
|
Shakespeare to
football. |

I
was first privileged to hear this |
|
recitation back in the late 1940's. |
|
That
was when he was a stand up comic |
|
traveling with cozen "Harold Goodman's Band", |
|
|
30 |
|
known
as "Deacon Andy Griffith" |
| |
|
It was one of my
favorites then, and still |
|
is. I have it on a
cassette tape, which I |
|
|
20 |
|
made from an old 45
rpm record when |
|
tapes became
available. Now I have it in |
|
my computer music
files.

I hope you enjoy it
as much as I
|
|
have enjoyed
preparing it for you. |
