Words of wisdom young folks it will fly by you will soon wake and ask where did it all go.

Dear Lads, hello. I am 99 yrs old. I watched the Andy Griffin Show, never missed a show. I remember when this episode came on. My husband and myself thought this was just beautiful and we would have loved to buy it . But we didn't know where yo buy it. It was just so haunting but yet timeless. My time here will be up soon, but I got to watch some of the best TV in history. The crap they have on TV and the movies today is just filth. I am honored to have seen the most wonderful shows and movies during the 1940s, 50s and some of the 1960's. And Don Knotts was my favorite of all time. I remember standing in line at the cinema to see The Ghost and Mr. Chicken when it was new released. We couldn't stop laughing. You don't find good clean entertainment anymore, today it's just FIFTH. Thank you Lads for putting this on here. God Bless. 👵 PS we loved Maggie and her father and you Boys. ❤️ and Ernest T. Bass🤣👵

Your intuition is correct. The writers were going for a laugh (hear the laugh track when Mr. Darling wiped his eye?) but Andy Griffith sensed the writing was off and changed his character’s physical and verbal responses to match the gravitas of the scene. In so doing he turned a brilliant musical performance into one of television’s most poignant moments.

Had the good fortune to meet Denver Pyle in 1979. I was tending bar. He was there with some friends and drank Dewar's and water. Tipped me $10 for one round! I asked him if he still played the jug and he said it had been quite awhile. He remarked on how the Andy Griffith show had held up over the years. Very nice man.

There 'was' a time when Maggie was only 23 (1964), when performing this outstanding ballad! I never heard a better song on TAGS than "There Is A Time." Rest In Peace, dear lady. You made each of those 6 episodes, far brighter, funnier, and exciting to watch from your presence and attitude. I remember one episode where you whistled with your fingers in your mouth, just like a man! Your songs had a message to them, no more than in "There Is A Time" ("The Darling Baby" episode, aired on Dec. 7, 1964). She lost her husband Gus Mancuso last Dec. (2021), him 88, after 43 years (1968). Very common for the surviving spouse to follow within 2 years, and in this sad case, only 5 months.

There is something about her voice and the innocence in her look that captures that era. Having seen these shows on first run and in comparison to tv today the contrast is unbelievable. I lived in homes that looked like that here in the south and was exposed to music like that in the Appalachians. I listen to everything from classical to metal but thoroughly love the honesty and purity of bluegrass and mountain music. Truly one of the greatest songs of the genre. I think for just a moment there Andy was thinking" and here I have been dodging her all this time. ". These images are now in dusty memories, the sounds fading in our ears.

I heard that Andy Griffith was not a very nice person but he did encourage The Dillards to play and promote their music on his show. I guess he was a fan of the group.

Always loved when the Darlings came to town. Brisco gets all teary eyed and has to wipe away the tears and sits there looking down at the floor with his shoulders slumped . Then,the most touching moment of the scene is when Charlene looks at her daddy and comforts him by putting her hand on his shoulder at 1:45 . Now,that's just about the prettiest thing I have ever seen. That young lady loves her papa. Maggie Peterson , cute as a button , wonderful singing voice and a very fine actress.

I just listened to that 10 times. Maggie Peterson is enchanting.

🎵 There is a time.. for love and laughter.. the days will pass..like summer storms.. the Winter wind will follow after but there is love.. and love is warm.. there is a time for us to wander.. when time is Young and so are we.. the woods are greener over yonder.. the path is new the world is free.. there is a time when leaves are falling.. the woods are gray..the paths are old.. the snow will come when geese are calling.. we need a fire against the cold. 🎵

I love Maggie Peterson’s movements, dances, and facial expressions when she sings.

When you get older, you look back on your life. You are forced to see regrets, and bad choices we have made. You long for the simple life of days long gone. You see family and friends that have passed. You see people making the same mistakes you have made. I tell my son all the time. It's not intelligence I speak to you with. It's the voice of experience, and that is worth more than anything.

best song ever on Andy Griffith show. second is when a drunk Aunt Bee sang Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye and conscripted Opie to sing along. she drank too much of the traveling huckster’s "elixir". third is Andy singing funeral dirge to Rafe Hollister in jail cell to get him to get vaccinated.

folk music and blue grass is so under rated, its very honest to the core and this is the attraction, i would much rather be around real country people than fake big city money spinners who only worship greed

God be with you, my brother. So sorry for your loss. After all of these years, do you have any wisdom to offer with regard to dealing with such a loss? Any insight appreciated. Peace to you.

So sorry...

I was in the lobby bar of some hotel in Chicago when I heard a house band playing this song. It chilled me and gave me goosebumps. When I asked what the song was, I couldn't believe this was the source. Never know what affect your life will have.

3rd black guy who likes bluegrass, love the incredible picking and Charlene's heartfelt delivery...chokes me up

My dad and I are doing this song at out family reuinion this summer with my guitar and his mandolin

Nobody, but nobody sings, "There Is A Time" like Maggie Peterson did, with the Dillards backing her up. This is one of my all-time fave AG episodes and, yes, it brings a tear to one's eye every time and I get serious goosebumps listening to "Charlene Darling" singing it❤

This song knocks me out!! And so does Maggie!!

I like the song

I like this song so much, and Maggie sings it best. It is sad, but it's the way life is . We are young, and if we live long enough, we grow old. I still watch the Andy Griffith Show, as it has never gone off the air. I'll be able to visit Mayberry as long as I live. With life what it is, I need Mayberry each evening. October 25, 2017

Ive played this video atleast 50 times and I only found it a week ago! They are true musicians but my heart sings when I hear that mandolin! Great job guys. Thank you. 🌞👍

Maggie Peterson !! Pretty,wholesome and unpretentious. She really made the show special,with her infatuation for Andy. 'Aw,Pa,can't I look at the pretty man' ?😍

my absolute favorite song ever. Maggie hits it perfectly. I told my family I want this played at my funeral and has to be sung by maggie

This song just may be the closest Doug Dillard came to pure banjo genius. Unmistakable tone, screaming first and second string, driving syncopation. I bought Back Porch Bluegrass and Live Almost! in the mid '70's, my early teens, and learned to play bluegrass banjo because of Doug Dillard. As a kid, I was one of his disciples. Wish he was still here.

I believe all children should be raised on this show.

This Alabama woman has loved this song since I first heard it when I was a kid and my granny was playing an "Andy Griffith"rerun. During this period of corona virus turmoil, this song is a joyful reminder. I am an American professor who's temporarily in Kurdistan, Iraq, and this song brings me joy always!

I too feel like, how did I never notice this beautiful song with all the times I've seen Andy. Love the way Andy stops playing just to admire Charlene's singing and her beauty. Could there be a more likeable man than Andy Taylor.

RIP Mrs. Maggie! At this point I've been hearing this all my soon to be 59 yrs. on this earth! It's a favorite and reminds me of the bluegrass I grew up with around my dad.

Those boys were so talented. I forgot Charlene was such a good singer

This songs lyrics are so simple yet so very deep. Its very somber yet comforting.

Charlene had one heck of a voice! Loved when the darlings came to town! RIP Andy and Don Knotts! Two legends of my time....they just dont make 'em like this anymore! :(

One of my fondest memories is sitting in the living room and watching this with my grandmother when she was still kicking. It’s the small, peaceful moments you cherish, you know?

I'm with Andy. This is the prettiest thing I've ever heard 😊❤

Hands down just all around great song. Still listening to it in 2021 :-)

Still listening to it, tearing up over it in 2022.

My mom would sing this when I was little :) I know the meaning of it now though and its ethereal.

I've listened to a dozen or more versions of this song and this one sang by Maggie P. is simply the best!

I watched Andy Griffith as a kid...I started watching it again recently. I didn’t remember all of the music!! 🎶❤️✌🏽

It's April 2020......With all that is going on in the world.....it's nice to look back 60 years ago and enjoy.

Still get tears and goosebumps every time I listen to this.

I was raised on Bluegrass, and hearing this song 15 years after I first heard it is mind blowing. What a song.

This just came on tv while I was sitting with my Parents at Christmas... I kinda had to step out quick... had tears rolling down my face, didnt want them to mistakenly worry. The best songs always do that. This is wonderful.

Had to listen to the lilting voice of Maggie as Charlene. She has been welcomed into the heavens but the stars are shinning a lot brighter today and forever. We will miss you, lovely lady. It was such a pleasure to meet you and all the Darlings at Mayberry Days. Will remember you always....

The Darlings were Awesome!!!...

@@mrs3533 Getting close anyway! Rodney was only 19 on the show but yes, still going strong even today. In fact, just released a new album!
