Goodbye Gomer Pyle


"Shazam!"


One of my favorite television shows while growing up
 centered around the weekly misadventures ( shown in
syndication in the late 1960's and 1970's)
of the hilarious, lovable hayseed from Mayberry....

"Gomer Pyle USMC".



"Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!"
Jim Nabors as the gas station attendant-turned-soldier 
Private Gomer Pyle USMC.



In addition to his natural comedic acting skills as the goofy Gomer,
bane of his platoon, not to mention his troop commander, the irascible Sergeant Carter,



Gomer confronted by the crusty Sergeant Carter 
( played by Frank Sutton)



Jim Nabors was an accomplished singer with a truly wonderful, deep baritone voice,
which was showcased on many episodes of the mid-1960's sitcom.
I especially love his gospel and Christmas songs.



Take My Hand Precious Lord

O Holy Night
