Murfreesboro, TN - There's always a person in your life who challenges you to think. For those who have listened to WGNS in years past, guitar playing Casey Clark would call with a challenging comment for the different local talk guests. Whether it was retired Sheriff Truman Jones, the late Mayor Joe B. Jackson, or retired Police Chief Glenn Chrisman. 

After a call from Casey, you often were not sure what side he represented, but it did make you think more about your stance on the issue. 

It’s evident that Casey left a lasting impression on the Murfreesboro community, and his unique approach to challenging conversations made people think more deeply about various issues. Whether it was discussing red light cameras, parenting choices, or neighborhood dynamics, Casey’s thought-provoking comments had an impact.

His “heart of gold” and willingness to help others—whether through his music, mentoring area youth, or advocating for local businesses—reflects a true community spirit. And playing alongside legends like Jimi Hendrix? That’s quite an achievement!

Suddenly you wonder, where's Casey? The phone calls disappeared, the quick and to-the-point beginning statements are now a fading memory, and like another with "Boro ties", "old pickers never die, they just fade away".

It’s bittersweet to hear that Casey is currently facing medical challenges and receiving treatment outside the area. Let’s indeed lift him up in our thoughts and prayers, appreciating the memories he created and the positive influence he had on those around him.
