Wow, what a cool Americana tune. Well done. I have been contemplating getting back to a more organic style of music here over the past few months.... I enjoyed that song.
I think there's a "Charlie" in every town. We had an old fellow around here who lived in the woods around the other side of this "country block" that I live on. He had a rundown patched together old single wide trailer with a plywood add on. After his mother died, I think he had lost his license due to drinking and driving because I didn't see him in his beatup old pickup truck any more. I would see him riding his old one speed bike with a basket on the front around the area. One night, while riding on a dark country road, he was hit by a lady in an SUV who didn't see him. He often wore dark clothes and more than one time I passed him on those roads at night and didn't see him clearly until I was fairly close. If the lady had kids in the car and was distracted, I can understand why she didn't see him. Every now and then, when I pass that point in the road, I think about him.
