Desert Origins Special Reissue) ----------- A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away . . . Wait, wrong story. Casey grew up in what is often refered to as "the middle of nowhere". The truth of the matter is, it's not exactly the middle - just slightly off-center. Which is also how you may describe Mr. Dorrell. In his younger days, Casey did what most kids did, played soccer, defeated King Koopa, and watched kids shows on CBC. He had an older brother who, like Casey, lived slightly off-center. This created a bond - one that was expressed through music. You see, anything Matthew listened to, Casey would. So while many younger kids were off listening to Vanilla Ice, he was listening to Beastie Boys. One day, while listening to track 7 on Matthew's Licence to Ill tape, he became so enamoured with Mike D. that he came under a hypnotic spell. He got up and thought to himself, "I WILL fight for my right to party". So off into the world he went, spreading his party message to the youth of Sherwood school, "Kurt, this teacher preaches class like he's some kind of jerk, let's take off, play basketball and forget work." Of course, no one ever listened to Casey; they thought he was crazy. This angered him. For weeks he tried, but no one listened. He decided he'd wait and that, in time, he would show the world how to fight for their right to party. It wasn't until Grade 12 at Charlottetown Rural high school that he discovered the route to party conversion. He had met Geoff Trainor a few years prior. Geoff pointed out that maybe he wasn't taken seriously because to party, you need to ROCK! On Prince Edward Island, it was hard to find an outlet proper for rocking, and Casey had no musical talents to speak of. He tried piano, but it didn't rock enough. Still he needed to rock something, and Geoff suggested he rock tennin. And so, the Tennin Rocker was born. Tennin the horse took his name from the legendary Tennin Rocker Together they ventured to Quebec under the guise of protesting Free Trade. Secretly they had different reasons, unique from each other's. Geoff was in search of something, and Casey just wanted to rock tennin. While walking up the street, they were attacked. Casey darted down an alley as Geoff poured some substance over himself. That was the last Casey ever saw of Geoff. To this day, Casey wanders the streets of towns, bringing his message and rocking tennin.
