What a lucky person Daddyclive is! I heard that he lived in Middleton and toured with his own grand piano transported in a pantechnicon. Is that true? Oh how I wish some of the modern musicians would listen & learn from Charlie. Less is more was never so apparent! Thanks Charlie RIP
My father met him several times, he developed a deformity of one of his hands closing his fingers toward his palm. How awful for a pianist, life's just not fair is it?
I was born in Bognor Regis Sussex in England where Charlies had a summer residence and was lucky to see him on a number of occassions and hear him play. Magic.
@Daddyclive .Interesting you lived in Bognor. I lived at Brighton between 1942 and 1945. I grew up listening to Charlie Kunz and had several of his 78;s.
The way that Charlie plays will never go out of style...20p at a garage sale means nothing. Cezanne, Bierstadt, and any number of other of the world's finest artists have been "found" the smae way....
Hi gf. I hadn't heard this one before but as ever enjoyed Charlie's Unique style. BD44 is winding you up. Even though BD says the mighty have fallen, the purchase,albeit 20p was made and no doubt the LP played and enjoyed. Regards David
I think you will find his albums in the 60s and 70s sold in large amounts, Decca issued 3 LPS in the 70s. Today his cds still sell very well, due to the fact his playing is timeless, so HMV inform me, If you look on Amazon you can see the figures, thanks for your comment.
Charlie Kunz was a hugely successful pianist in his time, but he is almost forgotten today. I picked up an almost perfect LP of his on the local flea market the other week for 20p. How are the mighty fallen!

@gf1001 I actually have the Decca LP's you mention. Probably should upload the tracks to Youtube.
