WRITE FASTER, GEORGE R.R. MARTIN

I just started reading the first book of Game of Thrones novels, A Song of Fire and Ice, and I am hooked. Like Greg DiCostanzo and Paul Sabourin, I want George R.R. Martin to "write like the wind" and finish this classic series.

GOOBER SAYS "BYE"

Actor George Lindsey, Goober from The Andy Griffith Show, has passed away at 83.  Huffington Post has the details:

The Marshall-Donnelly-Combs Funeral Home in Nashville said Lindsay died early Sunday morning after a brief illness.

Lindsey was the beanie-wearing Goober on "The Andy Griffith Show" from 1964 to 1968 and its successor, "Mayberry RFD," from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character on "Hee Haw" from 1971 until it went out of production in 1993.

"America has grown up with me," Lindsey said in an Associated Press interview in 1985. "Goober is every man; everyone finds something to like about ol' Goober."

He joined "The Andy Griffith Show" in 1964 when Jim Nabors, portraying Gomer Pyle, left the program. Goober Pyle, who had been mentioned on the show as Gomer's cousin, replaced him.

"At that time, we were the best acting ensemble on TV," Lindsey once told an interviewer. "The scripts were terrific. Andy is the best script constructionist I've ever been involved with. And you have to lift your acting level up to his; he's awfully good."

In a statement released through the funeral home, Griffith said, "George Lindsey was my friend. I had great respect for his talent and his human spirit. In recent years, we spoke often by telephone. Our last conversation was a few days ago ... I am happy to say that as we found ourselves in our eighties, we were not afraid to say, `I love you.' That was the last thing George and I had to say to each other. `I love you.'"

Although he was best known as Goober, Lindsey had other roles during a long TV career. Earlier, he often was a "heavy" and once shot Matt Dillon on "Gunsmoke."

His other TV credits included roles on "MASH," `'The Wonderful World of Disney," `'CHIPs," `'The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour," `'The Real McCoys," `'Rifleman," `'The Alfred Hitchcock Hour," `'Twilight Zone" and "Love American Style."

Reflecting on his career, he said in 1985: "There's a residual effect of knowing I've made America laugh. I'm not the only one, but I've contributed something."

My dad, or "Pop" as I called him, died in 2006.  He was an avid collector and owned a lot of records, particularly 45 rpm records.  Over the last few months, I've begun selling the collection to raise money for my mom and have discovered a lot of music I never knew existed.  Some of the tunes are rediscoveries, songs I had forgotten, but mostly a new world of music has been opened to me and I thought I'd share some of the best ones with a new weekly feature.

Canadian musician Jack Scott kicks off the first post of Pop's Tunes with his song "Goodbye Baby" from 1959.  The song hit number 8 on the Billboard Charts and Jack is still performing the hit tune today.
