Maurice Casey was originally from County Kerry, and is mentioned as among the Chicago musicians who contributed tunes for O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland (1907) in the introduction to that work. This is the only tune to bear his name, although he may be the "Casey" who is credited as the source of several tunes in the O'Neill volumes.
