...easygoing Irish Bostonian who is described by friends as a "fiendishly good domino player," Casey earned a M.B.A. from Harvard and started out as a railroad executive with the Southern Pacific. Later he became a vice president of the railway Express Agency. For the past eleven years, he has guided the Times Mirror into ventures ranging from cable television to the manufacture of flight-training systems.

(His work throughout the album is inconsistent, remarkable from a man responsible for the opening lick to "Domino," something that is in my Guitarists Hall of Fame next to the beginning of "Smoke on the Water.") The song's bitterness stands out, and it is a measure of the artist's bitterness that he is unable to articulate...
