songs. He has recently finished a second album. After Quebec he lived and performed in the southeast Mass/Providence
area until he got a job as Montessori teacher in Lexington. Charlie performs for both young and old audiences.
One enthusiastic nine-year-old critic said in reference to Charlie’s humorous vein that he is the “Milton Berle

Brown and Cat Stevens! … which is to say genuine, humble and sage – just like Charlie Cover himself.”
