This performance really does showcase some of Casey's talents. It's cool. Video is from 2010.

(Because he's so talented, he likely gets bored rather quickly, so moves on to something else. That's why I picked a random 5 areas of music that he could focus on rather than scaling it back.)

As to your question: perhaps only Casey knows the answer to that, but you may be right. (Hopefully not.)
