Andy Griffith - Whoa Mule 

That was Clarence White on the guitar, he later on joined the Byrds.

..the only autograph I've ever gotten in my life was from Andy Griffith.. it was 1973, and my family had gone down to Nags Head, NC to visit friends.. I was 12 years old, and we were at a marina, going out for some offshore fishing.. the manager mentioned that Mr Griffith's boat was coming in, so we went down to the docks.. as they tied up, Andy stepped out, and greeted us warmly.. My young friend (..also 12) and I kept looking past Andy, into the boat.. he noticed this, and asked "what y'all lookin for"..? ...... we both replied: "Opie"..., he busted out laughing... A true gentleman.. he gave us some of his catch (..which the marina manager put on ice til WE got back..) My dad knew some folks that Andy knew from the 50's also, and was in the Air Force when "No Time For Sergeants" came out.. and my mother was from Raleigh...my dad said that the "saluting toilets" scene was the funniest things he'd ever seen..lol..

My ex girlfriend hates Andy Griffith. I didn’t need that kind of negativity in my life.

R.I.P. Roland White; April 23, 1938 - April 1, 2022

Clarence did some great things with the Kentucky Colonels, The Byrds, and Muleskinner. He left us way too soon. RIP Clarence White.

just performed in Morgantown, WV and me and the band got to pose next to a bronze sculpture of Don Knotts that's in the center of town!

“ Your face is like a coffee pot, your nose is a spout, your face is like a fireplace with all the ashes out.”

Andy Griffith was just a super talented person. His stand up was pretty darn funny too. I have enjoyed Andy Griffith's work all my life.

Rest In Peace Andy. Tell Aint Bea & Barney we all said, "Hey."

I can sit and watch Andy all day, but when it comes to Season 1, I can binge-watch it for a day straight.

Leroy Mack is in my hometown right now. I'll be playing music with him this week!!! I'm playing guitar. So, I get to play the part of Clarence.... The truth is, I'm not fit to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Clarence. Regardless, I can't adequately describe how cool this is going to be.

I wish I could have met my grandpa before he passed away.

I'm nearing the end of season one of the Andy Griffiths Show here in England (courtesy of iTunes). I've never seen it before but it's terrific. All that warmth and southern charm. This was one of my favourite episodes so far.

What a gifted, Humble man He was. God rest your soul, Mr. Griffith.

I will always remember watching Andy and the gang everyday of summer vacation back in the sixties on that old black and white tv with my sisters and my beloved Mom. We laughed so much together. Momma, I sure do miss you and the love you gave me.

TV sure has went down the tubes since this was on TV

I met Roland White just this year, he told us all kinds of stories about playing with Bill Monroe and Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, god what a legend, Roland is a great guy, and wonderful musician, defiantly check his stuff out.

In an episode of the show Diagnosis Murder, where Andy Griffith reprises his role as the lawyer Ben Matlock, he sings it again at the end of the episode. The name of the episode is Murder Two - you can find it posted here.

where have those innocent days gone..... tv today....craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap

Andy Griffith Show may have been the greatest show ever, I wish there was something remotely as cool today.

that's what I call music !

White Brothers! What a great clip.

TRUE bluegrass musicians. No affect. No "posing"

they are all gone but places like ME-TV brings some of them on ! you don,t see good shows anymore like you use to !

Am I the only one who wishes the Kentucky Colonels would've had Andy Griffith as the lead singer?

I so agree with you....I barely remember the tale end of the 60's...but I also grew up in an area where we did these things. Times have changed , that is for sure and for certain ....and not for the better.

Growing up in the 60's was great. I lived in east Tn and yes we sang togeher, the kids would caching lighting bugs at night for entertainment. Families went to chuch together and actually ate meals together cooked by Mom,

That's for sure! Today's kids have no idea how life was for us. America was at its peak and we were truly blessed. They have sure ruined everything now. I guess nothing lasts forever. I was privileged to travel all over America in the 60's, usually on Route 66. I remember how every town was an adventure. All the restaurants and motels were distinct. You never knew what you would see. The people were friendly and we all felt safe. We knew there were some bad people out there, but they were few.

Andy Griffith is one celebrity I always wanted to meet another was that great actor Charlton Heston but both are gone now and I never met them.

I still watch the Andy Griffith show every now night…

My favorite episodes are those that feature music.

"woah mule, u kicking mule, whoa mule i saaay, i aint got time to kiss ya now my mule-a run away" ahhh this is great!!

Solid gold! And for the 8 sad sap suckers that disliked it? Well, there is no help for you.

Almost 50 years old and saw this episode for the 1st time today on the Sundance channel and it's now my favorite bluegrass tune!

little did they know that in 2016 the star of this scene is the priceless legendary guitar being played by the guy in the middle

Fantastic. Billy Ray Latham on banjo, of course Roland on that F4 and Clarence on guitar, Roger Bush on bass and Leroy McNees on dobro.

so much talent on this show!...Mayberry forever!

I love Andy Griffith's music.

Awww...Paw! This'un makes me cry!

So good, that it’s in the album. God I love Andy Griffith

awe shux, I was hoping for Clarence to get a run in.

It's quite a blessing to have all this good music on RU-vid to enjoy over and over again. I didn't always have the time or opportunity to watch those old shows but many are available online and kept alive by the good folks that share them. Thanks for uploading this video.

i love you Andy i watch every single one of your show

This show is awesome. It had long since been canceled when I started watching it and I suspect that it will continue to be watched for many more years.

You gotta love all the musicians that played on this show and where they all went from there. I have seen a lot of them play throughout my life and it warms my heart to this day.

This song is just so catchy!

Quick shot of the great Clarence White,unreal!!

Nice to see Ellie in this clip! 💘

Wow... that's great. I saw Clarence White when he was a member of The Byrds. Fantastic video.

Haircut $1.00 Shave 35c Shampoo 75c Shine 25c Hey Flloyd, I gots me my 2 35. Gimme the works

That song always makes me cry.

I love this show! So much fun to watch! Everyone is dead now, so sad!

Great clip! I have just about every episode memorized, but I still love to watch it.

Congratulations to the Kentucky Colonels on their induction into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame in Raleigh North Carolina. Thanks fellas

My father loved Bluegrass music. Brings fond memories of him when I hear it. Andy Griffith Show was one of my Favorites 😊

I truly love every song on this show

You don't know how many episodes I have sat through waiting to see this! It was as great as I have heard, not casual music but a well tuned engine running fast. Cool that Andy got them each their own close up. This made my day, thanks!

Amen... :( I would have loved to lived in those days..

I'm enjoying this!

I grew up watching reruns my dad had taped on VHS. They included all commercials too. Gem, GI Joe and others.

Andy was a true talent and his gospel albums are amazing .

Andy Griffith sang this same song on Diagnosis Murder in 1997 (Murder Two episode) playing his Ben Matlock character. Excellent

Like so many video's this one doesn't have the volume to fully enjoy the song. I loved this on TV as I did most all the episodes of Andy Griffith. He was one of the greatest.

Clarence White is playing the same 1935 Martin D28 that Tony Rice ended up getting a hold of many years after Clarence sold it. Now Tony is gone too. RIP both Tony & Clarence.

Andy showed real talent acting and in music, grew up watching him as a kid so sad to see hes gone. God bless him

I always loved Andy's guitar playing and singing. I have one of his Albums. I recommend you downloading House of the Rising Sun by Andy Griffith. He did that song very well.

Great stuff forever!!

Andy backed by The Kentucky Colonels....cool! Roland and Clarence look like twins....two of the greats.

I just loved to hear Andy sing "Moon River." And I'll never forget his beautiful rendition of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" at Robert Kennedy's funeral.

And that is his brother Roland on Mandoline. Unreal, I thought I had seen every Andy Griffith show there was, but I guess not.

Still great music in 2020.

He was a very talented actor and a great sense of humor…

I absolutly love this song

This was a fun episode:D

Great talent loved Mr.Matlock

Very young Clarence and Roland!

And I hear it just fine. They had great music on that show.

Awesome banjo playing

The group performing here was known at the time as "The Country Boys", later to become the "The Kentucky Colonels", including Clarence and Roland White (mandolin and guitar) and Billy Ray Lathum (banjo), who would years later replace Herb Pederson in "The Dillards", the band that had also starred on Andy Griffith as "The Darlings". Clarence and Roland were in their late teens when they performed on the AG show.

I like how andy's lips want to start singing the second half to the first verse! Great band...great show...forgotten times; sadly....Keep Em' coming!!!

Amazing

The Dillards had a couple of members that were from states that don’t traditionally have any bluegrass origins. Kind- of a “rag tag” group. They were from Missouri and wanted to play bluegrass like the traditional Appalachian groups.They had a Tennesssean and a North Carolinian a Texan, and a couple that were from outside the South and 2 or 3 from Missouri

cool clip thanks for posting.

Then you are Roland's child, nephew or niece. I have met him and talked with him quite a bit. He's a real nice guy. And Clarence was the best flatpicker ever.

Clarence and Roland White and the Country Boys!

wish i had all the music from the show on cd.... this one is priceless...

A lot of great music on this TV show.

Clarence in the background playing a 1935 martin d28 serial # 58957 tony rice owns it now. it has the most beautiful sound of any guitar I have ever heard the bone

Awesome 👌 👏 😊😊😊

Marie Maribo, yes, and I believe he won some awards for his gospel albums. Before that, I saw him on a show, singing a gospel hymn , "Somebody Bigger."

The verse about "choked on a turkey leg and stuck her nose in the butter" goes all the way back to the 1840's, the dawn of American popular music, the blackface minstrelsy era.

Every bit of the meaning FUN!

Brilliant!!

R.I.P The great Andy Griffith.

It sure is. You can download it on iTunes as well. It's called "American Originals." It's good stuff.

I've seen this episode quite often over the years. Until now I had no idea that one of these guys named Clarence White went on to shape the legendary "Nashville West" Sound with Vern And Rex Gosdin of Woodland, Alabama and Gene Parsons when they recorded Incredible Country and Western Music in Bakersfield, California! Produced by Gary S. Paxton who wrote a great song himself for another late great North Carolina native in Don Gibson called "Woman Sensuous Woman" which Mr. Gibson scored a Country Number One with in September of 1972.🤔🎤🎼🎸🎹🥁🎻📺B.W.

clarence and roland white. no shit. this is really awesome!!!

according to a friend of mine, that is the D28 Tony Rice has. He also said the Fender Tele with the B bender in the video of Clarence White playing with the Byrds now belongs to Marty Stuart

Not much more Americana than Bluegrass at the barbershop! The music scenes on TAGS were never filler...but integral to the story and true feel of the place called Mayberry!

greatest song ever
