Dear Andy:

According to New Orleans Jazz: A Family Album by Souchon and Rose, Charles
Bocage (c.1895-1963) was the brother of Peter Bocage (1887-1967).  Charles
was born and died in New Orleans.  He sang, and played banjo and guitar.
He played with Armand J. Piron after World War I, and recorded with him in
1923.  In later years, Charles played mostly with bands led by his brother
Peter, and was active into the 1950s.

I hope this is helpful.

Regards,
