U.S. Rep. Eva Clayton is getting her tongue-twisted.

She started to call House Speaker Joe Hackney "senator" then corrected herself, but got his last name something closer to "Hackley."

Then she called the governor-elect "Everly" and corrected herself on that one too.

A little later, Clayton made amends for her earlier error in pronouncing the first gentleman's last name.

"I made an awful error. I didn't acknowledge the power behind the power — Bob Eaves," she said, pronouncing it correctly this time.

Then, she introduced Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry (pronounced "sha-ree") as "Cherry Berry" and Supreme Court Justice Patricia Timmons-Goodson as Patricia "Timmason" Goodson, Treasurer Janet Cowell as Janet "Caldwell" and featured singer Caitlin Cary as "Cathlin."

Finally, horror of horrors, she pronounced Andy Griffith's name as "Andy Griffin."

Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue has released more details of her inauguration.

Noted actor Andy Griffith will read a selection written by his wife, Cindi, at the 10:30 a.m. swearing-in ceremony Saturday.

Well-known Triangle-area alt-country singer Caitlin Cary will sing "America the Beautiful." Her band, Tres Chicas, is also performing at one of the inaugural balls.

The Pledge of Allegiance will be led by 12-year-old William Swart of Fuquay-Varina, whose father John is in the National Guard and is currently out of state training for deployment to Iraq.

The 440th Army National Guard Band will perform at the pre-inaugural concert at 10 a.m. in front of the state Office of Archives and History in Raleigh.
