Judy Carmichael and Charles Osgood in the South of France, 2007

Charles Osgood was a huge inspiration and wonderful friend. He interviewed me early in my career on CBS "Sunday Morning" and graciously agreed to be one of my first guests on my NPR show, "Jazz Inspired" in 2003, its first year on air. I made this silly video from our lunch at his home in the South of France in 2007. Charles died January 23, 2024 at the age of 91.
Thanks for it all, Charlie.

What city in France is his home? Looks like lovely place to visit.

I honestly can't remember it's name. I was in Nice (I think) and drove over. And yes, it was spectacularly beautiful.

@@JudyCarmichaelJazz Was it perhaps (a difficult name to remember) Juan-les-pins or Antibes?

[@JudyCarmichaelJazz]

I would have remembered that I think. I'm looking through my records to find it! @@michaelvangheem5893

Charlie lived in Sainte-Maxime, those are my parents in the background in the video and I believe I BBQ'd for everyone during your visit. What a fun time that was.

Fantastic! Mystery solved. That was a very special day!

Hi, Ms Carmichael. I saw you in concert on Belo Horizonte (Southern of Brazil). Maybe 2005-2006. Was a Jazz Festival with Ray Gelato, Bob Mintzer, etc. ✌️

I had a great time being Artistic Director of that festival for ten years. And performing all over Brazil was a dream. Such great audiences! Thank you for remembering me!
