from operas. One aria from the opera "Carmen" was played over and over. Other favorite numbers were: "The Palms", "The Anvil Chorus", marches, "Glow Worm", and selections by the great Caruso. His children well remember the above numbers as well as "Dardinella" and "Alice Blue Gown". Soon a piano was purchased to be used by his children as well as himself. He enjoyed improvising melodies played in chords and runs. All were melodic and in pleasing harmony. The piano was so much an everyday enjoyment, that each summer, when they moved to their home in Ogden Canyon, the piano was transported there, also. Over the years he purchased a banjo, a violin, a guitar, and a large drum which he played for his enjoyment. Once when the band in which his daughter was playing was minus a drummer, Charles agreed to perform even though was nearing seventy and had never drummed in an orchestra before. He was gifted in singing and thoroughly enjoyed being a member of the Ogden Tabernacle Choir. This excellent group of selected voices was directed by the well-known, capable, and talented Joseph Ballantyne and organist Samuel Whittaker. This group soon gained recognition throughout Utah in the early 1900's. Their popularity resulted in the choir members being asked to make a tour to California and give concerts in cities along the way. Charles enjoyed tremendously the tour and remembers the highlights of the tour when they appeared at Sacramento and the famous Cliff House in San Francisco. Charles was an innovative musician as well. He fashioned a one-string violin out of a cigar box on which he deftly ran his left hand fingers up and down the string as he used a violin bow in his right. This unique creation had a true, rich, mellow tone. He played it by the hours often accompanied by his daughter at the piano. Often the banjo and drums would be substituted, and perhaps nothing gave him more hours of pleasure and enjoyment than encouraging his daughter's talent and playing his array of instruments with her. When a radio was purchased, he enjoyed many pleasurable hours playing along with the music and alternating instruments to his liking. He looked forward to news broadcasts, and he thoroughly enjoyed comedy programs which brought forth hearty laughter. Charles was a sports enthusiast. He was an out-of-doors man who loved the wide open spaces, the prairies, mountains, streams and rivers. He was an excellent marksman. When his sons were old enough, he taught them the proper use of firearms. He took them hunting jack rabbits, sage hens, ducks, and pheasants. Often they traveled to Garland, Utah, where his Brother Brigham (Brig) would take them to the choice hunting areas. He especially enjoyed pleasant hours with a group of hunting buddiesall employees of the Ogden City School District. They were Superintendent W. Karl Hopkins, principals Henry Barker and Francis Wiggins, Captain Dockler of the R.O.T.C., and science instructor, Alfred Bruerton. They looked forward to these hunting trips together, to the evening campfires where they enjoyed one another's company, and to the laughing and joking as they told some mighty tall tales. in later years, Charles and Henry Barker would often reminisce about these pleasurable times.
