    One of the BIG items is to note the size (or lack there of) of his drum kit! THIS probably says more about Charlie as a drummer than anything else. I had the pleasure of catching him with his "Big Band" a number of years ago and he NEVER took a solo and seemed to push every member of the band out into the spot light, while keeping himself in the background. Just a classy guy, who will be GREATLY missed in the musical world!

Took a car to the hotel where Mick and Keith were, and as soon as Mick opened the door, Charlie suckered punch him and then said those lines..
      I like to think he was taking his time getting dressed up while thinking "I'm gonna F'ed him up..."

    My favorite Charlie watts story - The stones were on tour around the Voodoo Lounge era. Mick, Keith, Ron and other were down in the hotel bar having a good time with media types and others. A drunk Mick calls up to Charlie's room and says, "Hey, where's my drummer, man?" I believe Charlie showered, shaved, got smashingly dressed, and went down stairs to the bar. He went up to Mick, punch him in the face, laid him out and yelled, "I'm not your fucking drummer, man! You're my fucking singer!!!!"
