And so he said, "let there be poets", and the poets came in wide numbers and varied forms, and he saw that they were good, and he said, "Now I Shall shew unto you a poet greater than your wildest imaginings, and thus came forth the leagues of poets, and with Joy(ce) the modern poet "Crazy C" and he saw that he was good . . . and that his flow was remarkable, and he rested with Billy Goats and Fuzzy Clarinet reeds, and Goatheads of State." ~ The Rotweiler Of (Charle 3:16)

Future Projects

Largemouth Trio

Branching off from his love of simplicity, melody, and beautiful tone, particularly in the baritone's difficult altissimo register, Charles plans to continue with focused ballad playing, but with a twist; poly-chordal ballads with lyrics about bass fishing within his language.  "The Largemouth Trio" will consist of the guitarist on the original Ballads recording, Erik Dutko, and singer-songwriter/pianist Neil Shah (who also can be heard on Ballads).
