I am curious if Casey has ever mentioned a personal "favorite" song(s) or a period of recording AT 40 that he was particularly fond of? Also, I wondered if he has a collection of the original run of AT 40?

I read somewhere perhaps it was Rob Durkee's book that Casey's favorite human interest story on "AT40" was on Los Angeles disc jockey Al Jarvis who originated the "Make Believe Ballroom"-That story definitely leaves me with a lump in my throat.

In the New York area,the "Make Believe Ballroom" was heard on WNEW-AM-Its long time host was Martin Block.

I've heard that one on at least three rebroadcasts, from 1978, 1980, and 1988 (it was originally run in 1976). It's a fascinating, and ultimately tragic, story of a very important but unsung figure in music and broadcasting. |

And it was told during the first month of Casey's Top 40 in 1989 (in fact, it sounds like they used the same script as on the AT40 airings). |

He mentioned on the last AT10 show that one of his favorites was "This Kiss" by Faith Hill.

Slightly off topic, but Dick Clark mentioned when he subbed for Casey that Santana's "No One to Depend On" was one of his personal favorites.

In this week's 1973 show, Casey refers to the 1952 Joni James hit, "Why Don't You Believe Me," as "one of my favorite songs."

It sounded like he liked the band Bread in the shows I've heard from when they were having hits.

I recall Casey being a pretty big Barry Manilow fan (or so it seemed to me). Everytime Barry had a new song on the chart, Casey would exclaim "Barry Manilow does it again!!"
