What it was was football. Does anyone remember this recording?

All that fuss over 25 cents.

Oh yeah, that's a classic. Mash here for the comic strip version

Gotta hear Andy tell the story, though.

Sheriff Taylor in serious condition?? Say it ain't so Barney!

Yes, I'm old enough to remember Andy Griffith when his first record named "What it Was Was Football" came out in the mid '50s. I was in HS at the time and all of us guys on the football team thought it was a riot. Next thing we knew he was in Hollywood starring in "No Time for Sergeants".

I don't keep up with the goings on in Hollywood and I never did, so I don't know anything about his political views. But AFAIK he hasn't been part of the "hate America" Hollywood bunch. Hope he pulls through and can go home soon, a hospital is not a fun place to be even if you're rich enough to buy the joint.

My parents had this sketch on an LP in the 60's. Lots of good, clean fun.
