Playlist as PDF-file Comment: The “Long Distance Dedication” is from a listener who thanks Casey for counting down the hits for 39 years. Between #2 (with the ironic title “If Today Was Your Last Day”) and #1 Casey himself gives a brief history of his countdown programs and how they grew over the years. And after the #1 (which, by the way, is ironically titled “[Sometimes Goodbye Is A] Second Chance”) he states this wisdom: “ I'd like to share with you something I've learned over the years: Success doesn't happen in a vacuum. You're only as good as the people you work with, and the people you work for. I've been lucky; I've worked for and with the very best! ” Casey ends the show with - of course - his legendary tagline “ Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars! ”. General: Most shows were recorded from remastered re-runs on radio station livestreams. Some " Extras " were added recently (done by a different host). Recording was done with " No23 Recorder " and " Audacity ". Commercials were manually cut out using " Audacity ". All playlists were created by myself and contain new entries, re-entries, " Extras ", " Specials ", " Archives ", " Oldies ", " Recaps " (top 3 songs of last week) and " Long Distance Dedications ". free download: The Sad, Strange Battle Over Casey Kasem article written by Hal Espen, taken from Billboard magazine (print version) from February 22, 2014 (PDF-file - 12,050 KB, 6 large pages) The data volume that my webhost “bplaced” allows is already almost used up. So, unfortunately, there will be no more new shows! Everything on display is for free . This website is powered by my special donor Kevin Makler !
