More Charlie Smith
More memories of guitarist Charlie Smith in this article from the Evening Chronicle circa mid- sixties I would guess. Thanks go to Charlie's daughter Jean. Lance.

I knew Charlie,, I lived near him when I went to music college and he taught me sight reading there and other stuff,, every Tuesday morning I think .. he always had a lot of music to get through for me. I went to his house quite a few times. He always had a few guitars, old ones ., I would love playing them.. He told me stories of Gigs past . With pictures and posters ... ‘ Charlie Smith and his Guitar .. ‘ Was written on one of the posters I remember.. All of his guitar students loved him in their own way, we all knew ... It was a real honour to be taught anything by him.. Great ... great guy ... Pat Caldwell..
