The location for Andy and Opie walking down the road is a Canyon with a resevore lake still exists in the Hollywood Hills. I think it's called Franklin Canyon and is open to the public when not used as a Movie Location. It is very close in to the Hollywood suburbs. I enjoyed your take on this old theme somg.

| This clip reminds me of the version Paul Franklin played at the 1989 ISGC. I was surprised to see that the staff band did not know the tune. It seems that this popular melody would be a no brainer. It was the only noticable mistake that was made the whole set. Yes... these guys are human! |

I didn't think there was a human alive that didn't know that tune, well, my age anyway.
