Play it again, Arville
Arville Smith, age 85, continues to perform Gospel music on Sundays at Meg’s Sweet Pickens at the Great Eastern Shopping Center. Originally from Tennessee, Smith recalled how at age 19 he was performing at WIVK when a very young Dolly Parton stopped in to do her first radio show. Pictured behind Smith is Dave Lawrence, of Sylvania. Lawrence stopped to give a listen while his wife was shopping. (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)
