(10/12/2010)

L-R: Doug Dillard, David Browning as Deputy
Barney Fife, and Allan Morris as Ernest T. Bass

Glenville, WV - Doug Dillard, the banjo-playing Darling [Darlin'] boy, will be performing on Tuesday evening, October 19 at the annual Glenville State College Bluegrass Masters Series concert.

The concert will be held at the Glenville State College Fine Arts Center Auditorium. In addition to the appearance of Dillard, an original cast member from the Andy Griffith TV show, David Browning from Bristol, Virginia, a nationally acclaimed stage and television actor will be portraying Barney Fife, the Mayberry deputy.

Also returning to the Glenville State College stage will be WV's own Allan Morris as mountain man and general antagonist, Ernest T. Bass.

Featured entertainers for the evening include the Glenville State College Bluegrass Band in concert offering a collection of folk songs heard on the Andy Griffith Show including New River Train, Sourwood Mountain, Look Down That Lonesome Road and many others.

Also on hand for the evening will be the Glenville State College Mayberry Orchestra, the only official Mayberry themed orchestra in existence, playing some of that great Earle Hagen music which added class and distinction to an already great TV show.

Following a short intermission, Dillard will participate in an oral history interview, question and answer session during which, audience members will have the opportunity to submit questions. Following the interview, Dillard will join the GSC Bluegrass Band in the presentation of some of his well known banjo compositions from the Andy Griffith Show.

The evening will be hosted by the Mayberry Deputy and without a doubt, interrupted on occasion by Ernest T. Bass.

To the delight of Mayberry fans of all ages, the Mayberry Squad Car will be on hand in front of the Fine Arts Center for photos. As a pre-concert activity, there will be some trivia questions to answer and an Andy Griffith Show theme song whistling contest.

Those attending are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite Mayberry character.

Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. with the pre-show entertainment starting at 6:30 p.m. The concert begins at 7:00 p.m.

Advance tickets are on sale now at the Fine Arts Center office for $10. Tickets at the door will be $15.
