Nancy · 7 months ago

Well yes of course I would love to win your CDs! Best wishes with the new release. Have heard you perform x2 in the DC area and hope for more opportunities to hear you live!

Patrick · 7 months ago

Wow .. The Power Trio struck again in J.C. TN @ The Down Home aka "the living room". Again I was taken on a musical journey that leaves me yaking to anyone who will listen. CD & the Colorfools were once again the best live performance i've seen.... Aside from their fashion ( polka dots..red shoes.. lime green shirt.. plaid pants)These guys create their own lighting , pyrotechnics, and smoke with their instruments !!!!! Oog has snake charming qualities that leave you mesmerized !! Thanks Casey, Tom, Matt & other feared fearless tone adventurers..

Mike Selecky · 7 months ago

Donna Dingus · 7 months ago

I would love to win this!! I have been a great fan ever since the R&R you played in Bristol a few years ago. Seeing you playing the daylights out of that fiddle with the Colorfools at Blue Plum in Johnson City left a big impression on me. Would love to have all that you have played on.

Corrina Logston · 7 months ago

Mr. Driessen,

Hmmmmm, how can I put this? Let's see: if there is a fad or an "in" style for fiddle at Belmont University right now, it's definitely you. And I'm not much on popular trends, but I've got to admit that I'm right there with the rest of the fiddler players who are way into your music. Love your stuff -- it blows my mind. I hope you have tons and tons of success with your latest project!!!

Ken Brown · 7 months ago

We never get enough performers or CDs up here in Alaska, so I'm looking forward to winning! So when are you coming up to Fairbanks to play? We'd love to have you!

hello casey,
thanks for this contest, i love music and listen to it while i do my stained glass work. listening to music helps me imagine new designs and color schemes in my stained glass work, and it helps inspire me in my banjo playing. i certainly love an eclectic mix of musics and it seems you do.

John · 7 months ago

3D is astounding. It should be figured into the whole economic stimulus situation - anyone in their right mind should own a copy. Or two. I can only imagine that Oog will be obligatory as well!

Scott Franklin · 7 months ago

My wife and I had the honor of being introduced to the work of Casey and the Colorfools at the Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC last night, where he opened and then was asked to sit in with the Asylum Street Spankers. It seems that sometimes life shows you the most beautiful things when and where you least expect it. So is the case with Casey and his clan. We're now fans for life.

Ron Benton · 7 months ago

I'd love to win this fiddlin' festival of music! Great playin'! When I first heard you play I said "Oog" which everyone knows is the sound that comes out just prior to "Ooh" which of course is the international sound of amazement! And "Oog" is the best place to start, because just prior to that is "Oof" which is the international sound of mistake. Thanks!

Zale Kennedy · 7 months ago

Casey the last time I saw you was when you were 12 years old or so at frontier ranch in Columbus, Ohio. I was jamming with you and you could flat play that Sally Goodin. I got to jam with your dad at Hoover Y Park and he told me you were huge famous now. So I looked you up on the web. You have become amazing on the fiddle. I guess hard work pays off. Keep on fiddling ,Bud!

Martin Blake · 7 months ago

That Sore Fingers Concert back in April was simply one of the most amazing events I have EVER witnessed. Rock on, Casey!!

Paul Reynolds · 7 months ago

Your music unites the innovative with the traditional, and I think you're one of the best fiddlers around. I'm really thankful for what you do, and you're definitely an inspiration to me as a player. I'll no doubt get your new CD one way or another. Having an autographed copy would be a genuine honor, though!

auntamanda · 7 months ago

I made a wise purchase of two pairs of your favorite snow goggles at the Blue Plum (Johnson CIty) Festival show a couple of years ago...so...what do they mean to me today? I wear them while "Gator'n" on our farm in northwestern SC and they are purely perfect! They are protective of tree branches and limbs coming at you, prevent wind drying of contact lenses (finally!), and enhance the clarity of vision. They are soft and comfortable. They stay put. As if your wonderful, incredible music weren't enough ---you are easy on the eyes!! Thank you!

John Belville · 7 months ago

Free? Free!? Are you crazy? We'll I'm not one to take advantage, but the price is right.
