Claude Casey

Claude Casey (Enoree, South Carolina, September 13, 1912 - June 24, 1999) was an American country singer, guitarist, songwriter and actor. Claude Casey came from a long line of Carolina musicians. His grandfather, father, and mother played fiddle and his aunt played banjo. "This is how my mother and father first met, playing for a dance," remembered Claude. "So I was around music back in my younger days; that's what gave me the bug." His first instrument was the harmonica and before long he learned to accompany his father at square dances.
