Dan Bell~


In the 80's, the radio station I worked for, WIVK, held a talent search every year at Silver Dollar City in Pigeon Forge...It was interesting to watch the transition to Dollywood, and this was the first time I interviewed Dolly on Opening Day...Then in the 90's I worked for Dolly's Radio Station, WDLY, for nearly ten years, including broadcasting live from the park and various events...Now, 15 years later, I'm honored to be part of the Praise 96.3 Family (WJBZ) and once again hosting shows at Dollywood, as part of the National Harvest and Gospel Festival. Matter of fact, our stage is the Back Porch Theater...about 30 feet from where this photo was taken...in Dolly's apartment. It's amazing how God works things out over the years. God is Good!
