You had asked for information about Charles Mallory; maybe I can help. Here,s what I know. His entire life was devoted to the arts. As an adolescent he was a talented painter and sculptor. I,m sure that if his heart had taken him in this direction he would have been outstanding.<br /> Charles found music at the age 0f 14 or 15 and it quickly became his first love. Besides being a gifted guitarist, he loved to write and arrange music. Through the 70,s 80,s and early 90,s his love for music took him all over the world.<br /> It seems to me that somewhere in the early 90,s the allure to perform and travel no longer excited him. On occasion he would still perform at some venue in the Los Angeles area which is where he lived up until approximately 2001 when he made a move to Phoenix Arizona which is where he died in January of this year at the tender age of 67. He was working on a book at the time of his death which unfortunately was never completed. I didn't mention that he was also a talented writer.<br /> So Chris, this is what became of Charles Mallory, who will be loved and missed by all who we're fortunate enough to have known him. I hope that I have been helpful. if there,s any information I can give you I would be glad to do so. Sincerely Richard Mallory<br />(brother)<br />Chris Albertynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201820803406421446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-63450879093305270582012-09-12T20:21:54.745+01:002012-09-12T20:21:54.745+01:00Email to contact Sharon:

My name is Sharon and had been great friends with Charles Mallory for about 7 years since he came to Phoenix AZ in 2005. Sadly, he passed away this Feb.(by the tennis court). I have never heard him play but heard so much about his music and people he played with as well as his South African tour. I would love to hear from some of his music people and chat.

My copies of them are either lost or packed away.Hopefully, I can locate them and post some of the tracks on Youtube. I tried contacting Gallo and IRC(TEAL) several times over the years to attempt to purchase the masters for release via my USA based production co.; but, no luck. Sadly, they seem to be lost to time.
