Must not have been too much editing on this 1974. WTOJ on track to end just a few minutes after the top of the hour.

During the show opening for 9/7/74, Casey noted that Mac Davis “debuts twice this week.” Go ahead and spin the definition of debut, with “One Hell Of A Woman” previously spending 12 weeks in the Top 40. But Casey’s opening slightly missed the mark by saying, “there are five new records” this week.
Fifty years later and the chart fun rolls on…

In this weeks show Casey mentioned "Alice Bowie" before and after Earache My Eye.I felt like he was mentioning it because he knew that Alice Bowie didn't exist. Casey just having a little fun maybe?

I very rarely guess correctly, but here are the shows I'd like to see played during the next three weeks:
9/13/75 (A); 9/16/78 (B) 9/18/76 9/30/72 (A); 9/24/77 (B)

I'll go with 9/13/75 over 9/16/78 for next weekend. 9/13/75, which last aired in 2013, has not been the A show since 2010. The 1978 show last aired as the A show in 2009, B show in 2021. I'll go with 9/17/77 for the B show. 1979 was just featured two weeks apart, and that would also make 1977 featured two weeks apart--let's hope for 1976 or 1978.

I think he mentioned Alice Bowie because the 45 which I still have 50 years later lists it that way. AT40 probably took all that at face value not feeling they needed to look into it.

I think most on the AT40 staff, including Casey, were hip enough to 'get' the joke. Especially as it's obviously Cheech Marin dressed as 'Alice' on the 45 sleeve. www.ebay.com/itm/395151044048

I'd imagine 9/11/1976 (last played 2022 as a B) or 9/18/1976 (last played 2021 as a B) as the B show since it's the one year longest-since-played of the 1976-1979 options.
