I looked on the Wayback Machine on archive.org and saw that the poster was paul. Just like the walrus in the song "Glass Onion," from the Beatles' White Album. Good one. "Here's another clue for you all..." Hopefully this particular Paul isn't dead either (although I had to work with an idiot who firmly believed that Sir Paul WAS dead--and this was in the 2010s, not 1969/70!) The power of the internet to dredge up any old BS and incredulously promote it as truth , I guess. I get a kick out of John and Paul putting these 'clues' in their songs and LP covers, snickering and wondering how long before someone spots them.

If any of you listen to today's show from May 17, 1975 on XM (and if XM doesn't edit out the LQ about 1st black solo artists (man and woman) to reach #1) can you help me decipher the question's author's town name in CT? Casey seems to say Perry is from (phonetically) "KWARE-BAW" but I can find no such name of a town anywhere in CT. Thank you in advance if you can help me solve this puzzle.

I can try to help with this later tonight after work.

I checked out the Connecticut pages of my Kappa North American road atlas, and in the alphabetical listing of CT towns & cities I found a "Quinebaug" (pop. 1133). It's located in the NE corner of the state, on the border with Massachusetts. That's the only town I found that was phonetically similar to what you described.

Someone on the staff probably mistakenly wrote/typed the 'n' as an 'r'.

I am very lucky to own all of the 70's shows. So I gave this particular segment a listen, and Casey says "Quinebaug" clear as a bell!
Good sleuthing!

Yeah I just heard the question, very clearly was Quinebaug. What’s interesting is I don’t think Quinebaug is a town per se, I think it’s a village in the town of Thompson. It’s in the next county over from where I am. In what is known as “the quiet corner” of CT.

Looks like screwing up the order of the songs between #40-31 is getting to be a regular thing on SiriusXM--Thanks. By the way, there are 4 solo Beatles songs in the Top 40--Paul's Another Day, John's Power To The People, Ringo's It Don't Come Easy, and George's Here Comes The Sun (that last one is performed by Richie Havens).

No, Gloria Gaynor is who introduced the show this week. SiriusXM has a handful of different artists intro the show every week by saying “Hello, I’m (whoever) and you’re listening to American Top 40 with Casey Kasem. Now let’s go back to this week in 197?” The artist doing the intro doesn’t always have anything to do with the year played.
