Playin' Look-Back 2 is an autobiography of Walkin' Talkin' Charley Aldridge. This wonderful assortment of a day at a time "real-life" stories will provide the reader with some insight into a 92 year old gentleman's entertainment career. Walkin' Talkin' Charley wrote music for Loretta Lynn (Coal Miner's Daughter album), crossed paths with President Harry S. Truman, served as the road manager and musical conductor for such stars as Clint Eastwood, Dan Blocker, Lorne Greene, the Beverly Hillbillies, Jack Lord and many others. Charley rubbed elbows with Marty Robbins, Henry Fonda, Brian Keith, Elizabeth Ashley and so many more. From his early days (1950's) in Los Angeles on KTTV channel 11 to Nashville with Porter Wagoner, Chill Wills and others Charley has lived a full life. Charley and his great friend Clint "Cheyenne" Walker talk weekly and reminisce over their 50+ years of friendship.

Blessed with his first guitar at the age of 11, Charley has spent the last 81 years playing everything from the Fender Stratocaster, Gibson L-5 and Les Paul's, D'Angelico's and Strombergs. In fact this began a long career friendship between Leo Fender and Charley Aldridge.

In the early 1960's the great Dan "Hoss" Blocker proposed that Charley become his agent. This too led to a tremendous "friendship" that lasted until the good Lord called "Hoss" home. These are only a few examples of the life that Charley has cherished with Claudette, his bride of over over 50 years. This book is a must read!
