Season 1, Episode 3 - "The Guitar Player"

17 October, 1960

Andy arrests Jim Lindsey, a talented young street musician, and tries to steer him to New York where he can make his music pay off. Jim declines, saying he's not ready yet and Andy can't convince him otherwise. When a tour band stops in Mayberry for lunch, Andy sees his chance and arrests both the band and Jim and his guitar. After some arguing and a little wisdom from Andy, Jim plays a tune, a deal is made, and Jim joins the band.
