I just watched "Return to Mayberry" today, and I got to thinking about the tone of Denver Pyle's voice. On the 5 black & white episodes that the Darling family appeared in, Denver as Briscoe had that deep voice, and of course, talked slow and twangy. In the color episode "The Darling Fortune," he was different. He talked faster, and his voice was higher. In "Return to Mayberry," his voice was higher and sounded more like his Uncle Jesse voice from the Dukes of Hazzard (which I assume was Denver's natural speaking voice). The question I have is this: Does anyone know if Denver Pyle had something happen (such as tonsil removal) that caused him to be unable to render that low original "Briscoe Darling" voice? I guess I could go back and watch Bonnie and Clyde again to see what vocal style he uses. _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
