So here’s an update on my musical life. John Cooke & I have begun a cover band, entitled The Common Good, made up of former members of Boston Common. As with any venture, much to do, but we’ve got some gigs happening, and some new booking is on the way as well. We’ve taken over the Thursday night slot at Paddy O’s for the time being, although once Jonnie reforms Boston Common, I have no doubt we may be competing for that gig.

As for Chet, Will & Joe have both moved down south to Atlanta, GA. They’ve both secured jobs at local recording studios, and I with them well, but no longer shall anyone be able to hear the dulcet tones of that which was live Chet. I am, however, closing in on creating the Chet album. Album title suggestions are welcome.

Amber moved out this past Sunday, which leaves me a bit lonely here in this place. The summer with her was wonderful, and of course there were ups & downs, but that’s just life. More ups than downs, for sure, and considering how small my place is (600 sq. ft.) we managed to fit everything quite well. Definitely need some more shelves though…

Last, but not least, is the Matt Germak Band. Matt’s been hectic with his education, as well a looking for a new day job, but we do have a gig in September in Bar Harbor, Maine. We’ll see how Matt’s life plays out.
