Well, you mean "raises", not "begs". But how close a relation do expect when one is from Cool, Texas and the other from Limerick, Ireland? It's not like James is a particularly uncommon name in the the English-speaking world. —

Blues?
I was looking at Casey's page here, and it makes no mention of his blues background. i'm quite suprised since that was the style he was labeled as in the audition rounds. i thought i'd bring this up here before just adding it to the article. lemme know your thoughts.

I added a Musical Influences section that is a bit bare bones but at least addresses his blues background. Hopefully other users can build that section who are more familiar with the blues genre and have the correct citations for Mr. James' influences. --

Image
Well, it's great to have an image in the article. I'm not entirely happy with
the image as added, though, as it has somebody else's forehead in it. I replaced it with a color-adjusted crop to eliminate the forehead (
[1]), but evidently the original uploader doesn't like it for some reason. Not sure his reasoning,
since he reverted me without comment. I've asked him, but in the meantime thought I would note the issue here in case any others had opinion. Perhaps there's some other issue with the crop, but if so I would hope we could correct that, since the forehead doesn't really add much. --

Evidently, he feels that the picture is better with the severed forehead than the close crop, which he thinks makes Casey look beheaded. (See
[2]). Not sure if he plans to communicate about it here, given that he
seems to have rather abruptly shut down communication. Nevertheless, I'll respect his opinion and seek additional feedback. With or without forehead? Or perhaps some happy, not yet produced medium? --

I hate to get in the middle of this, because I enjoy working with both of you, and have a lot of positive work with both of you, but I like cropped with no forehead. CTJF83chat00:00, 14 July 2010 (UTC)reply
So you like "happy, not yet produced medium". Okay. I'll
go for that. He does look better with more neck, and the girl's hair is dark enough that it nearly disappears. It's not as disconcerting for me
as the former version. It's too bad that there's reasonable question about the copyright status of
this image, where he has neck and no double chin. (No offense meant to Casey; it's part of looking down to a shorter photographer, I'm sure.) If we knew who Margherita was, we could ask her. --

Gage, can you get rid of the red eye like Moon's crop? Looks like this is a happy compromise. And like Moon said, her hair blends in, semi-close to the color of his other collar. CTJF83chat00:44, 14 July 2010 (UTC)reply
Late to the party, but the current photo is fine for me. Given the two choices above, I prefer the one on the left, since I didn't notice the hair until MRG cropped it because of the forehead ("what forehead?"). The cropped version is too big, meaning it looks too close, and gives me a bit of a claustrophobic feeling.
The forehead isn't visible in the latest upload. :) You can see what the original first choice
here. Good job on the double chin, Gage. And double chins are perfectly fine when earned, but look a bit out of place otherwise. :) --

The less cropped photo looks best. The other that is cropped closely makes his face look fat, which tells me that it would not be flattering to anyone if it can make him look heavy.Also the color is better

Corrections/Additions
Casey has a Twitter Page that needs to be added to the external links, as well as a Fan Address for Mail. I know his family and these have both been verified. Twitter is his only actual page that he has. There are several Face Book pages claiming to be him that are not. The fan mail is being monitored by his Mom and brother.
www.twitter.com/CaseyEJames
Fan Mail:
Casey James
P.O. Box 99
Millsapp TX 76066
The fan mail address is a problem under our policies. As
WP:NOTDIR says, "Contact information such as phone numbers, fax numbers and email addresses are not encyclopedic." P.O. Boxes fit into that, I'm afraid.
As far as the Twitter address, that may be an appropriate external link to add once it is verified by a print source, but until then we may not be able to use it. I'm afraid that even if you do know his family (and I don't have any reason to doubt it), we need a
usable source so that our readers can know that it doesn't suffer the same problem as those Face Book pages you mention. --
