Second time this week I heard or read a reference to an artist having a similar or the same name as a professional athlete when Casey talked about Ray Charles changing his name from Ray Robinson because of Sugar Ray Robinson. First time was in the Happy Birthday thread where Bob Welch had the same name as that Dodgers starting pitcher (struck out Reggie Jackson to end game 2 of the 1978 World Series).
Casey did not tell this story this week, next week when they reached #1 or any other week in the 80s. So here is a bonus story from Casey's Biggest Hits about "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin. "The members of the band thought a song had the potential to be a big hit. But their manager told the group not to record it. And when they did over his objections, he made them a bet. He said, 'If the song went top 10, his hair was history'. He would get a Mohawk haircut in front of millions of viewers on MTV. Well, it wasn't many weeks later that the manager had to pay off that debt and wish his full head of hair a fond farewell. Because the song he did not believe in reached the top 10".

Anyone else notice that the new 'weather person' doing the weather inserts on WWIS is the same person who used to do them on 'Summy Radio' in Sioux Falls? she has a distinctive name, which I'm probably misspelling: Jennifer Woochiski (or similar)! Much smaller radio market that she's in now...

Much smaller radio market that she's in now... WWIS and Sunny Radio receive their weather from a Wisconsin company called Weather Eye. They supply weather forecasts for a number of stations across the Midwest. WWIS,Sunny Radio and two I know of in Iowa KWMT in Fort Dodge and Kix 101.1 in Marshalltown.

9/8/1984 just aired in 2014 (though on the weekend of 9/20, which was strange, being almost two weeks off). Wonder why they didn't go with 9/22 instead. September can be tough to predict at times. Well at that time, the 9/22/84 show ran in 2013 so at that time they wouldn't repeat that show in 2014 (maybe now it would have been offered as a B show). 9/29/84 looks to be a leading candidate for the last weekend of September... I think these shows (1st and 2nd guesses) could be aired as A and B shows respectively next week. They could also go with 9/5/87 (that may be doable) as it aired in 2013, but I wouldn't bet my money on it. If I may insert Homer Simpson here on my quoted post - "D'oh!" Thanks for setting me straight - I didn't look at the list before posting. Trying to remember all the airings back then - I started catching them in 2014 and could rattle off dates and airings. Before that, still a bit sketchy. Just thinking back to that weekend, it was odd timing, with 9/13/1980 airing the previous weekend. But we all know Premiere likes to throw us a curveball every now and then. Have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend, everyone!

Yes! Snuggles Snuggles Snuggles-This won't happen, but wouldn't it be funny if the hour 3 extra would have Larry Morgan say-"From September 14, 1985, this is what REALLY happened during the taping of the LDD featuring "Shannon" by Henry Gross ..." It would be like revisiting the first LDD on the 8-26-78 show LOL.

I didn't realize the re-recording of Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" was released the same week in 1986. I scrolled a few weeks later and saw it only hit 48 as the highest.

Much smaller radio market that she's in now... Jennifer does the weather for several stations in the area (I live in Sioux Falls, SD, the home of Sunny radio). She is on at least 4 stations that I am aware of, WWIS in Wisconsin, KZOY in Sioux Falls, and at least 2 in Minnesota. She must be a very popular gal in our area.

For those looking for the 1983 show, KGOR will play it tomorrow at 8 AM local time (9 AM Eastern), but only the last three hours.

Casey just said it was the third week in the countdown for "Oh, People". I double-taked at that, for I remember from the 9/13 show that that song dropped right out that week. So I did some checking. Its entire AT40 run: 37-31-29-off.
