The real name of this band was/is The Dillards. The brothers were Doug and Rodney. Doug Dillard later teamed with Gene Clark and they became Dillard and Clark and are generally considered to be the "grandfathers" of country rock music.. They recorded only 2 or 3 records, but one of the string players in the band was a young musician named Bernie Leadon. Leadon went on to form The Eagles with Glen Fry, Randy Meisner and Don Henley.

I wonder if Opie realizes just how lucky he is. How many kids get to hear LIVE honest-to-goodness mountain music in their own living room?

[burkeshaw]

This is more than enough to make a city slicker mend his mend his condoin' ways, repent and live in the country. R.I.P. Doug and Andy.

It's said that this composed off-the-cuff by Doug Dilliard on the set of the Andy Griffith Show for the episode "The Darlings are Coming." It was called "Slimey River Bottom" in that episode, and "Doug's Tune" in "Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bee."
