Casey Kasem American Top 40 - can I get an 'amen'?

As a man who has spent many a day listening to Casey Kasem and American Top 40, I can truly say the man is a mentor of mine.

Years ago, Casey was nice enough to autograph a photo for my birthday, as I told him I had been following his show since the 70's, and I mentioned that the format literally ceased to be, the moment he left the AT40 countdown.

Radio is too segregated these days, and many of us yearn for the yesteryear format, where one could hear R&B, rock, pop, country, A/C, and even novelty records on the same station, and, more specifically, all in a 3 or 4-hour period on American Top 40.

I may dig into my old AT-40 recordings on the blog, if there is an audience for it, and I'd like to hear your memories of American Top 40 as well. - DJ D.
