John Oscar Casey composer

John O. Casey was born at Livermore, Maine, on 22 Mar 1857.

He was the best musician that Livermore ever produced; beginning with an over-the-shoulder, rotary valve tenor horn and ending as one of the best cornet and trumpet players in New England. He was a popular composer of band music and had the distinction of leading, at different times, all of the best bands of Hartford, Conn., where he was located and where he died.
