James Best was the guitar player in a couple early episodes.
So Andy and Barney were the early Boss Hogg and Roscoe Coltrane Although I don't think aunt Bea was Daisy.
Only cute girl I ever remember from Andy Griffith was Elanor Donahue, but she was no Daisy Duke.

I actually googled “Was Andy Griffith playing the guitar” and it came up he could play.

At an Amish store, of course. :p 🤓 :cool:o_O

It's the old shows which are in black and white.
About the old shows being in black and white, I have a confession to make.

I told the kids that the entire world was in black and white until Walt Disney invented
color in the 1930's. And the wonderful world of color was the first tv show in color because they couldn't make color movies or tv's till he invented it.
There were several other less than factual things I let the kids in on too.

I got some pushback from some others at home and I had some fun but I will say none of these kids as adults take anything at face value. Check and recheck sources.

But none of these kids drink the fox kool-aid.

But they trust little I say now. (one says I could be put in a home for all those things I came up with, and, any day now...)

I believe most of the series was filmed in Georgia or Louisiana. I know it was set in Georgia.

If you’re talking the dukes, the pilot shot in Georgia, the rest in California. In a couple scenes you can see a busy freeway off in the background.

It’s also my understanding that Andy Griffith was suppose to be the goof ball in the show instead of Don Knots. The Barney part just seemed natural for him to be the goof ball though. If you’ve seen the movie No Time For Sargents Andy played a silly hick character in that and was good at it.
