Casey Kasem's old Top 40 shows...

[phylo1@yahoo.com]

Wow - Thanks for posting this information, Eli. (I think I recall that you do Lost and Found on MBR?)  I not only listened to those shows, I kept a handwritten list of the songs, which I've got stashed someplace.  (I have a lot of my handwritten "playlists" from back then from 'RKO and 'MEX.  The Top 40 was such a mix of styles back then.  

I don't listen to "oldies" stations very much, probably because I 
(1) refuse to acknowledge that songs from the 70's are "oldies", and 
(2) I don't want to OD on Bad Bad Leroy Brown or Seasons in the Sun. It's more fun to hear those songs only occasionally.  


Speaking of the 70's, I just found the "album" version of my favorite 70's song, American City Suite, by Cashman and West, on Amazon for $0.99.    iTunes only has the "single" version (of course it still clocks in at 7 minutes).
