In the beginning
there was Charlie Foxtrot... Well, it sounded OK
for a minute there. The first incarnation of
Charlie Foxtrot began in mid-2002. We started with
a nucleus of myself (Jan Depner), Henry Harrington,
Jerry O'Rourke, and Alan Auter. We then added a
frontman/lead singer. We played about three gigs
before we started having personnel problems and put the
project on hold. Fast forward to New Years Eve
2005 when, thanks to a slightly paranoid frontman, Henry
got fired from his then current band and Jerry walked
out in protest. We got together shortly thereafter
and put Charlie Foxtrot back together with a new drummer
and no frontman. All of this leads us to the
question - why Charlie Foxtrot? For those of you
in the military or closely related to the military the
answer is obvious. Charlie Foxtrot is an acronym
using the military or NATO phonetic alphabet. The
acronym CF is closely related to a couple of other
military acronyms - SNAFU and FUBAR. The reason we
called this band Charlie Foxtrot was that, almost
without exception, every band we had been in had started
as, or become, a Charlie Foxtrot (see examples above) so
we decided to name this one properly from the
start. If you haven't yet got the gist of the term
Charlie Foxtrot I suggest that you Google for it ;-)
