Musical Interlude: There is a Time (1964)

Any time the bluegrass group The Dillards appeared on The Andy Griffith Show as the Darling brothers, you had to know there'd be a musical number or two mixed in. This is no exception.

Here, the Darlings (The Dillards, Maggie Peterson, & Denver Pyle) are jamming again with Andy, this time on "There is a Time". Now, Andy sang this one solo earlier in the series' run, mixing in some whistling. This time, Charlene (Peterson) sings lead, and it is such that Andy & Briscoe (Pyle) stop playing. In the Darling patriarch's case, it's just as Charlene feared. He starts crying.



The Dillards actually made the rounds on variety shows as themselves, including an appearance on The Judy Garland Show. We'll have that up soon.
