Charles William Nix

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
