"You Had to Be There!" The Dean Martin Show taped every Sunday during the season. Rehearsal started early in the morning then taping usually began around 2pm. Les Brown's "Band of Renown," would be warming up early, Les, and some of his famous band members, Drummer Jack Sperling, the Candoli brothers, Bass Player Ray Brown "Playboy Allstars" all, were part of legendary memories we'll never forget. Dean and his crew made it look easy, most folks did not realize that weeks of homework went into every episode. Rehearsal halls were humming all week with Sunday's guests. The NBC Pages I worked with Jim Overman, the late Bob Gould, and Bill Woodley, we all finagled away to be there on Sunday's living the dream. Then there was Dino, "The King Of Cool." Dean's swagger, slang, self - confidence, those talents made us better men. Those moments will stay with us until "that day." You know "That Day!"
