Rick Reineke Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 I just got a news update a few minutes ago.. What a shame. But 80 years is a long life. One of the few drummers I liked who played 'behind the beat' RIP Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
