Brian's music also plays in his living room, kitchen, car, and head. Trombone, piano, drums, bass, guitar, washboard, zydeco tie, hubcaps, tin cans, baritone horn, and accordian are instruments that have been wielded to varying degrees of success by Mr. Casey, and he takes requests both here online and in person. Ask him for a coupon. Seriously. Ask him for a coupon.
An informal celebration of Brian's music will be held at Dick's Den on Thursday Sept. 18th starting at 10:00pm. Please contact me through my page if you have anything that you would like to contribute. -Brett
It is difficult to know what to say other than I am glad I got the privilege to know Brian and got to play his fine creative music.
It was a pleasure always to play music with Brian in Honk, Wail, and Moan. Some of the hardest stuff I've ever had to play and some of the coolest stuff at the same time.
whats up? i found this site and thought i'd tell everyone, it shows you if anyone at school likes you. i dont know how it works but its really cool, it told me a couple different people who have crushes on me. you gotta try it!
