Andy Griffith?

There was a segment in this film called "Ranch Roundup" in which Elvis plays as "Tumbleweed" Presley. On the left is a man with a fiddle who looks a lot and sounds a lot like Andy Griffith - has anyone noticed this? Does anyone know whether or not this is actually Andy?

Yes I am sure it's him.
He was popular around that time so it would be possible he appeared on the show.
Let's face it, everyone wanted to be seen on the same show as Elvis in them days.

Yeah, they sure did.

Yes that is Andy. The entire bit is funny (if not dated somewhat) with each member of the group doing a comedy bit, including Elvis discussing "Tonto" candy bars and dentists.
