My Picture

French Quarter nights
of Charlie Matkin





If you have problems with any of my links, please bear with me. I am currently rebuilding several pages.


When I arrived in New Orleans in 1961 I was hired at WWOM, "The Wonderful World of Music". I also became paid soloist at Trinity Episcopal Church and a member of the New Orleans Opera Chorus.
At night, I would sing in various French Quarter clubs such as
"MARY JANE'S"









Here you see me at the microphone, with George Demme at the piano
and Felix Gonzales on the "Alabama Thump Bucket".
