I'm very sad to hear that Casey Kasem has died. With all the recent news about him (and the battle among various amily members about his whereabouts, his deteriorating health, and his medcial care) I suppose it wasn't a surprise. Hios contributions to music and radio (and to the popular culture of Scooby-Doo) are legendary and he will be missed.
Would I be a curmodgeon if I wondered why this thread was started in "Uke Talk"?
Very sad news. I grew up listening to his American Top 40 every weekend for years. His voice and style were quite addictive. As a kid I remember willing "Feelin' Stronger Every Day" by Chicago up the US charts. It took a couple of hours of listening each week before I could find out if it had made number 1 !!
