Rafe Hollister is the third character that Jack Prince has played on the show after playing 'Ben Sewell' in "Alcohol and Old Lace" and 'Luke Rainier' in "The Inspector."
This is not only the last episode with Parley Baer as mayor, it's the last episode for any actor to play the mayor. Although various plots will involve council members, there will only be rare references to unnamed mayors for the rest of the series.
This is the sixth and final episode that Jack Prince appears in The Andy Griffith Show. Jack Prince played Ben Sewell, Luke Rainer, Rummage Sale Customer and Rafe Hollister.
Rafe sings a song about a lonesome road. Only a few years earlier, Andy Griffith played a singer named Lonesome Rhodes in "A Face in the Crowd."
