Dale's publishing career began in the Nashville office of Chappell/Intersong where he ran the tape room and, learning from the great Celia Froelig, Pat Rolfe and Henry Hurt, pitched songs at every opportunity. After the acquisition of Chappell by WB Music in 1987, Tim Wipperman brought Dale over to plug songs which he did happily for many years.
