Description
This tune is about Charlie Solo, the only live sound engineer on the Lost Coast of Northern California (Humboldt County). I wrote it over labor day weekend after playing music at a friend's wedding. Charlie Solo was the sound guy and did a great job, so I wrote him this tune.
Lyrics
Met a guy named Charlie One He ran sound in Matolle Sun Unloaded his trailer at the lost coast camp Plugged in the cables and proceeded to amp My guitar and voice with a microphone Tweaking the knobs all alone The sound that came out pleased our ears Solo Charlie eased our fears Charlie Solo he’s the only one The dude who runs sound in Matolle sun If you need a mix for your next gig He's the man with the mobile rig Charlie Solo, he’s the only one Mixing sweet music under stars and sun The best part about him is he’s having fun You Impress me Charlie One Microphones, mixers, cables and gear Configured to perfection with ringing ears So fired up to run that mix His magic fingers do the charlie tricks Trust his ears to fix that mix He’s got a pad over looking the Matolle (Matolle River) A peak of the ocean and the swimming hole’s He’ll take a rip off his proto pipe That will leave him feeling high all night You'll find him mixing at the cabaret Eating beef and beens at the Petrolia Grange He's a guy who likes to have some fun Give it up for Charlie One Charlie Solo he’s the only one The dude who runs sound in Matolle sun If you need a mix for your next gig He's the man with the mobile rig Charlie Solo, he’s the only one Mixing sweet music under stars and sun The best part about him is he’s having fun You Impress me Charlie One
