.? What about El Cajon CA? My hometown.
Brings back memories. I used to listen to Casey and the top 40 countdown.
I had an email correspondence at one time with someone who wrote a book about Casey and the top 40. And he asked me about the radio stations I heard American Top 40 on. I had moved around the country, and was able to recall:
WPGC AM/FM in Washington, DC
WCAO in Baltimore
WCUM in Cumberland, Maryland
WKLP in Keyser, West Virginia
WBBM-FM in Chicago
WLS in Chicago
KFMB in San Diego
I think he was trying to compile a listing of all stations which had ever carried the Top 40 countdown.
LOL! Men and their gadgets. DH still possesses
his first transistor radio to this day.
Along with several others offered by EBay.
“Do you like good music
That sweet soul music
Just as long as it’s swingin’
Oh yeah, oh yeah”
SWEET SOUL MUSIC - Arthur Conley
Early 1970’s in my mid 20’s, music tastes changing to some
degree.
Casey, RIP
Thanks for the memories.
So that’s the excuse you’re gonna go with?! Sheesh.
Of course kidding; enjoying a little wine today! :)
He was the Master at what he did. You can find entire shows of the countdowns played on youtube.
Yep! I listened religiously on the beloved little radio my folks got me for Christmas, single ear bud in my ear so i didn’t disturb mom. She didn’t like that rock ‘n’ roll music that was going to corrupt me. Ah...the 70s.
LOL, that and the "Dr. Demento Show"
I watched a Netflix documentary on David Foster. He was also an asshole, self-admitted at that.
Never realized just how many great musicians for whom he produced.
I was living in San Diego in July 1970 but don’t remember ever hearing of KDEO. The two stations I listened to were KGB and KCBQ.
Found this Top 40 list on You Tube. Listened to the entire show. It was great, a blast from the past. Thanks for posting.
Listen to the old Dick Clark countdown show on weekends.

“...F the Beatles...”
I second that. “Imagine” is the atheist anthem that sums up the communist “revolution” our nation is suffering under in real time.
Thanks for posting this! My wife and I both had the Pocket Radio! She remembers more static than music coming from it, but I remembering thinking how cool it was.
For me, we lived in Monterey and listened on KMBY, it was the greatest place in the world for a kid to be at the time.
Loved Three Dog Night. Remember the band, ‘Lobo’? Some good songs there, too. :)
I always thought he treated Scooby like dirt. Making him go ahead before him in some creepy haunted mansion. He was a coward! And a cheap skate, hardly ever passing out Scooby snacks.
Imagine was not by the Beatles. John Lennon did that on his own. And he also was an asshole who let his yellow paramour break up the band.
