There's a great story about Dees's early days as a college DJ. He was broadcasting out of Granville Towers (the "ritzy" dorm at UNC-CH) in the late sixties when a tall, lanky, long-haired kid walks in with a guitar. RD starts interviewing the kid, and the kid says he's going to London to record for the Beatles. RD says "yeah right," and kicks him out of the booth. A year later, James Taylor released his first album...

No, this story isn't an urban legend -- RD repeated it in the UNC Alumni Review a year or so ago...

That'd be: http://www.geocities.com/sgdancers/dancers.html

Pam was a brunette, I believe.

I spent several years working on the post-production end of that show, so I spent a lot of time watching those dancers. I remember it as a time spent in a high state of... uh... distraction.
