Forum Member Chuck Fisher Passed Labor Day

Post by Danny Bates »

This is very sad for me to report because I just now found out. Chuck was my very best friend of all time.

He was also known as lap steel playing bluesman "Ol' Crippled Charles"

He was a steel and dobro player, a genius in electronics, computers and also a great webmaster. Most of all, he was a great human being.

He had been a resident of Santa Cruz CA. for 28 years and had many friends from that area, his home town of Indianapolis, Fresno CA., and of course, Chuck had many friends on this forum.

Please see the beautiful things Reece Anderson wrote about Chuck here in March of 2004.

So sorry to hear this. I know that Chuck was thrilled by the guitar Carroll built for him.
