So Good, So Good, So Good! Confessions of the Piano Dude Gregg Akkerman

Serial rapists. Celebrities. Naked people. Jail.
And then some weird stuff happened too!
Just another day on the job for the Piano Dude. If you can call "living the life" performing in exotic locations around the world an actual job. Gregg Akkerman's life as an entertainer reads like a Cohen brothers-meets-Jimmy Buffett screenplay that never ends. Is it really just one Caribbean island and piano bar full of bizarre characters after another? Maybe that's why he's always smiling. You'll find out before the book is over. A true-crime, first-person account of America's most twisted musician serial rapist? See Chapter 11. Skinny dipping with 6-time Grammy winners? Yeah, it's in there. And what about that awkward phone conversation with Bill Cosby? Look in Chapter 19. When asked why he wrote this book, Gregg replied:
"To be honest, I get tired answering all the same questions: 'How long have you been playing? What's the craziest thing you've seen in a piano bar? Can I give you a back rub?' I'll just put all the answers in one place and say, 'Buy my book, and a little lower to the left.'" He adds, "My memoir is a series of vignettes, each representing a poignant moment of my life as a musician and Dude on a path to being less of a dumbass. Some of the chapters are just for kicks, while others are more serious, but it's been a heck of a great ride so far. If I'm not living a charmed life, it'll do until the real thing comes along." A sampling of chapter titles includes:

And just like "Sweet Caroline," the most popular song in the piano bar, you'll shout out that Gregg's life story is "So Good! So Good! So Good!."
