Hey Casey,
I have a 12 year-old daughter that I have hurt. I don't know when & I don't know how, but I have really devastated her. I've damaged her trust in me. I don't know how to get through to her that I'm so sorry, and that she is more precious to me than diamonds or gold. I will do whatever it takes to regain her trust. I need to see her happy again. I need to hear her say "I love you" again. She has to know that I will never give up. Please play "Whatever It Takes" for Emily?

Crocodile Rock: Elton John plays on a carnival organ known as a farfisa. From the album "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player".
What A Fool Believes: Song was written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. From the album "Minute By Minute".
Drift Away: Dobie is working on an autobiography titled "The Other Side of The Mountain" which is due out later this year. Dobie hit with song 30 years later in duet with Uncle Kracker.
Additionally between "Amazed" and "What About Now", Casey tells this story:
Over the years, the Beatles have inspired a lot of courses in a lot of colleges but not until now has there been a post-graduate course in Beatleology. Hope University in Liverpool has raised the bar on Beatles studies. They're offering a Master of Arts degree entitled "The Beatles: Popular Music and Society". To get the degree, students must take four 12-week courses and write a dissertation. What does a person with a Masters degree in Beatleology do with it? Perhaps spend their lives digging for the deeper meaning of "Yellow Submarine".

Thank you guys for posting all this info. I only heard AT20 this weekend, and no, the optional songs were not the same.
Who else remembers Keedy? (mentioned in the Fergie intro). Reminds me of my college days. My local station used to play "Save Some Love" practically every hour Feist is on my ipod with "1,2,3,4."

I have the Keedy song. I recorded it off of a rimshot station, Power 975 KMZ in Martinsburg. I think that was the only station I ever heard it on. Although if IIRC, there wernt' a whole lot CHRs around at the time I think WAVA was still around in DC but only for a few more months.
