Growing up I wasn’t a perfect kid. I spent A LOT of time being grounded to my room and being an only child can get very lonely during those times. However, I did manage to sneak a friend or two into “serving time with me”. My friend was WQQQ or better known as “Q100″ and on the weekends Rick and Casey would join them with their Top 40′s countdowns.
I remember sitting and listening to the lead-ins and drop-offs of each song, the entertaining way both Rick & Casey would hold your attention making every song sound just as awesome as the next. Most of all, I remember Casey Kasum’s Special Request and Dedications, knowing that the upcoming story would be one of heart wrenching love and adoration for someone very important. I’m not going to lie, many times I wrote letters requesting songs for my mom or my dad or even for that boy I had a crush on… thinking at the time it was just as wonderful a story as the one being broadcasted. But…. mine were never read.
Now that I have a piece of the internet all to myself, I have decided that I’m going to do my own “Dear Mr. Kasum,”… and so it begins with the next post. Should you have a request and dedication, please post to me your “letter” and the song you wish to request with the subject line “Dear Mr. Kasum,”. The requests don’t have to be one of love or adoration, it can simply be of frustration, or even silliness.
You know where to find me
Very cute idea MJ! I’m going to have to think about request and get back to you on that.
