A SMALL TRIBUTE TO CASEY KASEM

Today, Casey would have turned 83.

There has not been a more influential person in my life than Casey. He held my attention at all times with his remarkable radio show "American Top 40".

During the 70's Casey was all I listened to on the radio when I could, an then when i discovered he made several low budget horror films, I simply had to see them.

I still listen to the original broadcasts of AT 40, an I have several hundred of them. I loved the man. I wanted to be on radio just like Casey, and I finally got to o that for a short time, an always thought of him when I did it.

Kasem will never be replaced, an this is the first time I couldn't list him in my Birthday blog entry. I miss him, but know he is in a much better place, but his legacy is still a huge part of my life, and always will be.
