Fuddy Dudy came over to have a few beers last night. We were watching a terrable show (America’s Got Talent). It’s like a B version of American Idol/talent/variety show but it was something good to have on in the background while we discussed the events of the day. At the end of the show I saw this guy who looked really familiar. They only showed him for a few seconds, and his name hit me…. Cas Hayley. I told Fuddy….man that guy looks like a guy I took pictures of about a year ago named Cas Haley. Well, a few quick searches and I found that it was in fact him, and he was doing well on the show.
He opened for Guy Forsyth about a year or so ago. I really enjoyed his music and was happy to see he is doing well on TV. I haven’t seen him with his full band (WoodBelly) but really enjoyed the duo show with him on the guitar and his buddy on the stand up bass. His sound was kind of a fun island/tropical sound with a raspy voice. He has one of those booming voices that really stands out and fills up the room, and if he wanted to I bet he could really rip out some Sublime! Below is his video from the show and a few pics I took that night. The video has him playing on there… CHECK IT OUUUUT! Good luck Cas!
Speaking of Guy Forsyth at Bend Studio, I did another shoot with the owner of bend, the lovely Ally David this week. I think we got some great pics and I should have a few posted in the gallery soon.

That’s awesome man. You are right about Cas’ voice, send some music my way…I wouldn’t mind listen to some on the beach.
I gave up on the show. The next week I watched it, of of the guys who made “the cut” was a fat, male, transvestite belly dancer with a thick lisp. I think he was mexican, with a long blond wig. And he was the worst dancer ever, even if he wasn’t a guy…or fat… or ugly… he still sucked. Not that the show had that much credibility…but when he mad it to the top 20 or whatever…. i gave up.
biggest fan ever!!!!
please make a cd that i can purchase!!

I wish you best in health and success! Your a assume person Cas not just in music but as someone who would allways want to have as a friend!
