Change is a part of everything in life. We all know this. Some folks have wondered about what’s going on with the Square Pegs these days. They’ve got a Facebook fan page now, and if you check the list, you see the following:
Andrew Peterson
Jill Phillips
Ben Shive
Jeremy Casella
Eric Peters
Lori Chaffer
Randall Goodgame
Andrew Osenga
Don Chaffer
Andy Gullahorn
Obviously, there are two new names on that list: the Chaffers are in Nashville now! And there are two names off of that list: Derek Webb and Chris Mason.
I don’t really think that it’s a big deal when the membership of the Pegs changes. This is no different than going from 13 to 9 back in 2007. It’s important to remember that the SPA is a very loose alliance of friends who make music together; it’s not a record label, it’s not a “damn the man” thing. It’s not that there was some insurrection to boot Derek out or something. Last we checked with Chris, he just wasn’t doing that much music stuff anymore. [I know, we're sad, too.] Seasons come and go with people, and so it is with the SPA.
It is what it is. We won’t enjoy Derek or Chris’s music any less. We will getting some more SPA visibility with the Chaffers. Life’s like that, and we embrace the changes as they come.
[And now for me to get back to my groove in posting here more often. Sorry about that.]
I miss this website! And I sure wish I saw yall up here more often in NJ!
