Bill Graham formed the first Casey’s Fancy Irish band, which included Martha, Mike, and Barb. They were very good and in demand. They performed for more than twenty years. My only contact with them was as a roady and a fan. When Bill passed, I was asked to help keep the group going. As I said before, I can read music, but since high school my only experience was as a closet ukulele player.
They were scheduled to play at Severson Dells for a Christmas program. When I talked to Mike about it, he said their hearts weren’t in it. I told him it didn’t matter about their hearts; they had a contract. He said that they would do it if i would play with them.
So, I showed up with my ukulele. The first song they did was I think was a Madrigal. I had no clue what was going on. However, we had a lot of fun and the crowd loved it. The next day Mike showed up on my front porch with an upright Bass and ask if I could learn to play it as they liked my voice.
Ii ended up getting one of my boyhood dreams.
