 "I firmly believe that each of the episodes (the Andy Griffith Show) offers up a real moral code that we should all aspire to live by. Smitty and I watch the show every night." - Terry Eldredge

Terry Eldredge, guitarist and one of the founding members of the extremely talented group The Grascals talked with us on the phone recently. 

Edredge is a longtime fan of the show and confesses to have seen each episode numerous times.  "The Andy Griffith Show had a moral lesson that every human being should live by," Eldredge comments. "It's an honor and privilege to be associated with the best TV show ever made. It was - and still is - awesome family entertainment."
