I like Charles. I'm not generally a fan of twinkly-tappy bass solos, but his skill is undeniably astounding and his videos can be amusing.
My daughters know who he is as well, without my influence, so if he's inspiring kids to take up bass, well done him.
I also love how he gets right up the noses of the more conservative members of our community. If he's winding up the old guard, he's doing something right.
