Norman, together wth Doug Lycett and Hen-y Lorrain were kept busy auitagraphlng thier new art/gardenlng, book which featured the dayliles grawn by Doug and Hem-y at their farm.

Eight years later the cod stocks were almost depleted and after working with his father all summer, Charlie had only fifty dollars in his pocket. That was when he decided it was time to go to Ontario. It wasn't long before Charlie was working steady and spending time in the Newfoundland bars where his musical talent started to flourish. Soon he was lnvited to play at the Horseshoe and the Caribou Club with well known artlsts like Jahnny Burke and East Wind, Terry Hynes, Roy Payne and the Han-y Hibbs Show. -Along about this time Charlie met and felliIn love wlth Heather, in 1978 they' were manried and as a famùly man Charlie had less and less time for the bars, so his musi- cal career went on hold for a few years.

Charlie had always been interested in automobiles, a back yard mechanic where his friends and their friends could bring their cars for some of Charlie's advice and a Newfoundland story or two. It wasn't a great step then, for Charlte to go into business for himself, so when a garage on King Street in Newcastle became available he took the plunge. With his business doing well, Charlie began thinki.ng of ls love for music and his *"down east roots" soon he started writlng songs and playing some concerts and dances with Derek Pllgrim who was also a part owner of a recording studio. In 1996 Charlie recorded his first cas- sette, "Newfoundland that's what you mean to me". One of the songs on this album entitled" Charlie's Auto Body and Repair combines his love for cars and music. "The tape is doing real well here and in Newfoundland I couldn't have done it wlthout' my wlfe Heather". said Charlie "she is my number one fan".
