I'm sure by now a few of you are getting frustrated with this series. After all, you've seen/heard 50 songs and still no Andy Griffith Show theme song, you're losing "Patience" with the absence of THAT song, and you're wondering how Good, Bad, and Ugly this series is going to get before THAT song is included. Well, wait no more! Those songs – and plenty more – are all right here! And there's still one more installment to go after this one. So never fear – your favorite song is here! Or soon will be. Enjoy!  ~  JH
