CHARLES DISMAS BURGESS, (a/k/a Chuckie), lives in Los Angeles and works as a music researcher investigating copyrights and the historical origins of music for the film, television and internet entertainment industries. Chuckie was once the youngest on-air host ever employed by WJCC radio in suburban Boston, where he produced a weekly four hour broadcast in the mid-1980s. He took his creative talents to California in 1995 and became a production assistant on several television shows, including Politically Incorrect where he periodically contributed monologue material. He is a member of ASCAP and has dozens of original compositions registered. He had his first children’s book, Gramma’s Critters, published in 2010 and his first contribution to the Black Mesa IQ series, Rock & Roll Music IQ, was published in 2012. Chuckie attended Syracuse University where he met his wife Heather (and incognito editor). The Burgesses have four children: ten-year-old Dylan, seven-year-old twins Quinn and Annie, and two-year-old Henry.
