RIP Andy Griffith

[hdibrell]

A really big influence on me growing up.  From the New York Times: 

Andy Griffith, an actor whose folksy Southern manner charmed audiences for more than 50 years on Broadway, in movies, on records and especially on television — most notably as the small-town sheriff on the long-running situation comedy that bore his name — died on Tuesday at his home on Roanoke Island in North Carolina. He was 86./quote]

Andy, the Godfather of ambient music. He'd sit out there on the porch tweeking away at his Moog modular late into the evening.....just amazing. Gomer would stop by and say, "Shazam! What the hell is that?". Of course nobody in Mayberry would ever "get it" but he didn't care.
