During a recent concert at the AFM Local 586, AMEHOF Inductee, Al Casey, one of the most recorded musicians in the world, was honored posthumously with the American Federation of Musician's Lifetime Achievement Award.
Al Casey, an Arizona native, began his career in his hometown of Phoenix then moved to California where he became a member of LA's "Wrecking Crew". This group of studio musicians is credited with some of the greatest and most innovative music ever recorded. It was during these years that Casey met and worked with another AMEHOF Inductee, Glen Campbell, who was also a member of this prestigious group of musicians.
The award was accepted in Casey's behalf by two of his close friends, Brad Bauder and Ron Corbin. Bauder and Armand Boatman are previous recipients of the AFM Lifetime Achievement Award.
