Charlie Channel

Born: November 16, 1944

I was born in Oakland, CA in the middle of WW 2 1944.  My grandmother lived in the Fillmore District of San Francisco.  And, we'd visit Clemmie for Sunday dinner. My father did stuff in SF.  And, once he had balconly tickets to a Lionel Hampton band performance.  He took my mother, my sister and me to see and hear what was going on.  It was there that I saw Lionel Hampton's band at age 5.  I was immediately imprinted watching Gene Krupa play the drums.  Whatever he was going, I could see and feel the totality of it. Whatever it was lives in me today.
