Charlie was a very talented musician, having started his music career at the early age of sixteen, playing “Swamp Pop” in the local clubs of Lake Charles. His music career spanned sixty years, and he played with some of the finest musicians, including Merle Haggard, Ray Price, Gene Watson, Steve Wariner, Gene King, Avery Belguard, Peggy Forman, and many others. Charlie loved playing steel guitar, but was also skilled on the bass guitar and keyboard.

Charlie also loved racing cars at local tracks such as Forest Hill Speedway and Thunder Valley. It was a family affair when he was racing. Charlie drove 18-wheeler trucks most of his life, and hauled many loads all over the state. He was an owner-operator and had up to ten trucks when I-49 was built around Alexandria. He was a member of Philadelphia Baptist Church in Deville. He was also a member of the W.D. Fisher Masonic Lodge at Deville and Past Master at the Forest Hill Masonic Lodge.
