Artist History Charley's first experience with the harmonica was when he was 10 years old. He heard his older brother playing one and was so entranced by the sound that when his brother left the room, he snuck into the drawer and started playing his harmonica. His mother heard the noise and chastised him for blowing into his brother's instrument. But a couple of weeks later Santa Claus put a shiny new harmonica in Charley's stocking. He learned all the songs in the accompanying instructional booklet and from there developed his own style. Charley's harmonica goes everywhere he goes, and he can often be heard giving an impromptu concert.During WWII he played for his soldier friends after a hard day in the field. He also plays for his family, the checkout clerks at the grocery store and at three different churches.
