The Evolution of Charlie Walters (continued)
Charlie continued through October 1968 until the Jones Boys took over KFXM. I don't think he was one of the Jones Boys, but I don't know that for sure. October 1969 Charlie was back on KFXM (when Danny Dare left) with a litlle bit hipper look. He stayed until June 1970 when he was relaced by Chris Roberts.
Charlie was NOT one of the Jones Boys. I spend time with him and the other guys on the picket line. It was cold, lonely out there. But the guys were creative and kept themselves entertained while the JONES BOYS were playing all the new hits. That was one of the worst parts about being out there: Missing out on the great music that came along in November, December, etc.
I always thought Walters was older than the other guys, but after seeing those last two small photos where he grew his hair out and brushed it forward, he didn't look that much older after all...amazing how longer hair brushed forward can make a guy, like Walters, look 10 years younger! I wonder HOW he looks today? Anyone know WHERE he is? Still alive?
Charlie was a serious guy but had his humorous times. Always did like his style and delivery. Kinda homey but it flowed nicely. Nice guy too. Sometimes too giving.
