"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.
