While working there, he was the soundman/sound mixer for red carpet premiers at Grauman's Theater.In the sixties, Chuck was in charge of working at and overseeing performances at both the Hollywood Bowl and the Music Center.Chuck did sound for all types of performances; rock, jazz, classical, stand up, and theater. He worked with everyone from the Beatles to Baryshnikov. Chuck did have his favorites some of which were Robert Goulet, Groucho Marx, Don Rickles, Frank Sinatra, and Florence Henderson. In his later years, he worked solely for the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion as sound director and overseeing the Center Theater Group.
Several years after Chuck's passing his children started to clear out his garage. Chuck had a sound rental business for a few years after he retired and his children were selling the sound equipment. They came across several boxes of reel to reel tapes that they had no idea existed. Among these tapes there was everything from rock, jazz, stand up, classical, and plays. These tapes feature live recordings that have gone untouched and unheard for 45 years or more.
Iron Butterfly is an American rock band best known for the 1968 hit "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", providing a dramatic sound that led the way towards the development of hard rock and heavy metal music. Formed in San Diego, California, among band members who used to be "arch enemies", their heyday was the late 1960s. The band's seminal 1968 album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is among the world's 40 best-selling albums, selling more than 30 million copies.
