I liked Festus, too. It's interesting comparing his first appearance on the show--he helps Matt track down a family member--to his character when he joined the cast as a regular. He was much more comfortable with the role when he joined the cast.

I did not realize "Festus" could really sing....vocalist for the Sons of the Pioneers and replaced Frank Sinatra as vocalist in the Tommy Dorsey Band. He was cremated and his ashes are spread over the Colorado flatlands.
