On last week's show as well as on the 8/21/76 show, he mentions the chart date in the outro to the #1 song i.e. "At #1 for the week ending August 21st, 1976, that was Elton John & Kiki Dee with "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". And then the shuckatoom theme starts. Seems to have done it that way for close to a year.

Funny, Casey had started providing the chart date after the #1 song long before 1977, but the two '77 shows that we have had this year (1/22/77 and 4/23/77), he omitted the date...coincidence, or did they decide to do away with it for a brief time in early '77? You're right wahoo. I have been noticing that too. He started doing this from August 1976 or so through sometime in the summer of 1977. I'm curious to know why he did this. And why he changed back to mentioning the chart date after the song in later 77, as has always been customary. It seemed like at least wahoo was saying that Casey was not mentioning the chart date at all. "he omitted the date". |

That is correct--on the 1/22/77 and 4/23/77 shows, he does not say the date at all.
franky, I do know what you are talking about where he said it differently as part of the songs outro rather than at the beginning of the credits in late '76, but there he was at least saying it.
I guess we all must like to hear the date--there is something about it that sort of validates that show's moment in time, you could say?

We are really going round and round on this aren't we...lol. He DID mention the date in the outro to Don't Leave Me This Way this past week. I don't remember what happened in the 1/22/77 show.

OK--my bad. Just went back and listened to "Don't Leave Me This Way" and sure enough he said the date in the outro. Sorry--I probably caused some confusion over that! |

FYI, in the 5/7/77 show on SXM, he again mentioned the date in the outro to the #1 song. Looks like he did indeed do this for about a year starting in the summer of 1976. |
