"The Andy Griffith Show Theme" is the #theme for the 1960–1968 #CBS television #sitcom #TheAndyGriffithShow. It was composed in 1960 by #EarleHagen, who also performs the whistling heard in the theme. Its success resulted in widespread demand in the United States for a commercial recording. In 1961, actor #EverettSloane wrote lyrics for an expanded vocal version of the theme, which in this guise was renamed "The Fishin' Hole".

Random Nostalgia TV Detour:

Was reading the incredibly detailed TCM synopsis for A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957) and watching a clip of #AndyGriffith as Lonesome Rhodes.

As #BruceSpringsteen (yes, The Boss!) mused on a co-host clip with #BenMankiewicz, WHERE did that incredibly lusty, raw energy go after that movie??

Which made me go revisit #TheAndyGriffithShow for the first time in decades. #RonHoward was an amazing child actor -- Opie was a sweetie. Most child actors make me wanna be a hermit
