I met Charles Nix one night while he was playing the clarinet at Grand Central Station. I went over to him and said, "Let me be your manager for only one hour and I guarantee you'll make a hundred dollars!" He said, "I usually make twenty bucks, SURE!" I told him what to do and he made over a hundred dollars. I told him to talk to his audience of about a hundred kids waiting for their trains because they had been to a concert. Ask them to shout out requests. Be positive. Smile a lot. He made more than a hundred dollars. I arranged for him to have a big free banner and to be assigned times and days. I made him a sign that said, "I play at Parties." I also made him a brochure. I also said, "Anyone who cares for you can be your manager." And he found Evelyn Rothstein and she became the love of his life! He made this album. One of his selections was, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS?" That was ironic because I gave a tribute to its composer LOU ALTER! I met LOU ALTER who said, Be a lyricist!" Also, "People today just don't get my music." That was in 1967 and that song became a colossal hit years after he dies because of Hurricane Katrina!
NIX, CHARLES was born 08 August 1931, received Social Security number 454-42-8202 (indicating Texas)
and, Death Master File says, died 27 July 1997

For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living.
For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations.
I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it.
In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK.
My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
