When we moved to Panama City, FL in 1951, I was 4 years old. I remember Andy Griffith appeared somewhere at the Dixie Sherman Hotel doing some of his comic routines.

I didn’t get to see him but I remember the radio played a few of them. I still remember one called: “What is was, was football” or something like that. It was pretty funny. He was just getting to be known at the time.

The great memories I have of the motel in PC when it was The Rendevous.

Andy Griffith - “What is was, was Football” Story from 1953

[I Drive Too Fast]

You can get that recording (about football) on Amazon (less than $6.00). It is on this album Wit & Wisdom of Andy Griffith [Original recording reissued, Original recording remastered]

He was funny in No Time for Sergeants too. TCM plays that movie from time to time.
