"Casey and Me" is a short autobiographical essay by Karl Jones.
Casey and Me
I co-starred with Casey — Casey of "Lunch with Casey" fame, my childhood hero — in a musical benefit for a children's Sunday school.
Nobody was paying attention — church basement, kids and parents milling everywhere, cake and lemonade, happy chatter of children playing and grown ups talking —
But when Casey called out —
"Hey everyone! Karl is going to sing a song!"
—everyone turned and listened and sang along as Casey and me sang "On Top of Old Smokie" and other childhood favorites.
Adult childhood favorites, of course. Only the parents and I had any idea who Casey was.
