Robert J. Casey

I know him of his DISCO early activity. I mean his organisation NADD (National Association of Discotheque Disc Jokeys) and his magazine Melting Pot where he published short story about me :-) He promised me to send whole collection of Melting Pot but he died suddenly ...

Bob was an innovator early on in sound...I was General Manager of the Continental Baths in NYC. Bob came around and turned what once was just a simple juke box disco dance area (next to a cigarette machine) into one of the finest sound systems in NY in the early '70's...his audio speaker system, the DJ booth he designed & created, the lighting system, etc were sensational...state of the art...so much so that all the major DJs' wanted to spin there, including Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles and...

Oh Bobby I didn't know where you were...we are all going to miss you. May you rest and come back to dance with us once again!

It is sad, very sad for me old deejay from |Poloand and disco historian today who try to save as much as possible our history.

By the way I would like to write long and serious story about Bob and looking serious contact to any relatives and friends of him, please. Write to [email protected]

Bob and I were thrown together in a hopital room in Vassar in August 2016. In the few days we were together we had many great conversations and common interests. I was there when they made his diagnosis and will always remember the plans we made to get together after we were out. I wish him well on his journey and am glad I was able to spend time with him. God Speed.
