Charles H. Hunter was born in Columbia, Tennessee, on May 16, 1876. At birth was almost totally blind.
He attended Nashville's School for the Blind, learning to tune pianos, later working for the Jesse French Piano Company in Nashville, Tennessee, as a tuner.
He developed a fresh style of ragtime in Nashville. It is not fast or showy (in contrast to ragtime from St. Louis--an example would be Turpin's "Harlem Rag"). Hunter's rags had a lyrical emphasis.
"Tickled To Death" is early in the ragtime field and was popular like "Maple Leaf Rag." It was Hunter's most successful composition in terms of popularity. It was published in 1899 by Frank G. Fite in Nashville, so this is an early rag like Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag." It was later sold to the Charles K. Harris catalog in New York.
Hunter moved to St. Louis in 1902 (working for Jesse French's St. Louis store), fell into a reckless lifestyle, and died of tuberculosis on January 23, 1906.
A funeral notice in the Columbia Herald states that he had a wife.
Another Hunter work worth looking for is "Possum and Taters," published in 1901.
“Tickled To Death” is played here by David Thomas Roberts.
