101 got an email from Dave Foulk after posting the photo of Bobby Denton and Dave Young...
"Dave Young (if he hasn't sold it) owns one of the coolest classic cars in the area. Let's see who knows the answer.
Fleetwood Gruver and I rocked all night for some charity. My butt was numb for a week.
I wonder if Bobby Denton put anybody's eye out with those sharp points on his shirt collar. I should talk... About the time Dave Young started morning drive at WIVK, I started working part-time at WBIR television in addition to WBIR Radio. I made a few appearances on television in my lime colored, triple knit leisure suit.
In the mid-seventies in Knoxville, television was just starting to transition into video tape news gathering, and live remotes on television were still a major undertaking. As a rule, if it happened after about three in the afternoon, it was a big deal to get the film processed, edited, the story written, and on-the-air. WBIR's first microwave ENG truck was delivered just before I left for WSB Radio in 1977. Radio news was still the main source for live-breaking news and information on a regular basis. And it was not unusual for reporters from three radio stations to cover a news event. Now, Citadel's stations, and U-T's public radio station are the only two with staffs who have outside reporters.
Thanks for your great site. It's a pleasure to read about Knoxville radio, and all the people we've either worked with, or who have entertained us in years past."
