But he was up and about for the July 19 meeting, a pitch session. He was no doubt glad he came and sat in (and sometimes stood) at the session since several of the bands liked his songs.</p>
<p class="normal"> An on-deadline phone call from <b>Karen Le Van</b> in Nashville brought news that she had landed a part-time job as a strolling "Dolly Parton" look-alike. Her debut appearance for the Opryland folk will be at the Gaslight Theater, home of "Nashville Now," on Sunday evening, August 1. And the pay ain't bad either.  </p>
<p class="normal">Well, hello, Dolly!  </p>
<p class="normal"> Your news item would be right here where this sales pitch is situated if you had mailed us a little note telling us about it. Or given us a call.</p>
