You're a good son, Barney.

Whenever Don Knotts and I were waiting for lighting cues, we would sing hymns in harmony, ... The show depicted Barney as tone deaf, but Don has a beautiful tenor voice.

I still play that guitar. It's a Martin D-18 with a clear pick guard. I've played this guitar on and off my TV shows for nearly 50 years,

I loved Don. There was no one like him.

What'd you get 'em?

At first I was supposed to be the funny central figure, ... But with that format the show might have lasted about four weeks. The way it worked out is, the other people say the funny lines and my character looks on as an observer.
