Charlie Burrus plays guitar, sings, plays the piano and occasionally messes with the mandolin.  Charlie played guitar for the bluesgrass band The Ulterior Motives back in the early to mid '80s in New York City. Shortly afterwards he played lead guitar for the angry young band Shaggy and the Hackers in New Hampshire. He then moved back home to Houston, and enjoyed himself immensely playing guitar and keyboards for several (6 or 7) years with the rock/blues band Moe & the Lawn.  Charlie enjoys romantic walks on the beach, romantic paddles on the swamp, romantic peddling on his bike and doing romantic mathematics on the couch in addition to playing romantic music on the melodica.
