Way back in 1984 (I think) Charley bought a radio station in Beaumont TX. He celebrated "KAYD" with a daytime free concert in Winnie TX. I was a college student at Lamar U. in Beaumont, and a booth was set up hiring young men as stage hands -- for a whopping $25 an hour. That was crazy good money in '84.
About eight of us was hired, and we worked laying out very heavy sound cables and speakers. The "roadie" work started early that Saturday morning. After several hours, we were very hot, tired, and hungry. We asked the guy in charge if we could leave and get a bite to eat. He said, not necessary, lets step into Charley bus. Charley had arranged for us a ton of fried chicken, rolls, and Cokes. Wow did we eat well. We sat in the cold A/C and stuffed ourselves silly. After the concert, we had to pack it all back in. We made more in that day than I could have made in a week.
It was a small gesture, really, but I will always remember Charleys hospitality to some random college kids. You will be missed, CP.
