Meet Chuck Clark

“I’m Not So Happy” original Neptune song:

Chuck Clark was a close friend, almost a brother to them really! Frank and Ed have great stories and fond memories about the good old days with Chuck. There are stories of gluing Chuck’s mothers broken flower pot so she wouldn’t realize they broke it , being horribly lost in New York, and even a bedroom candle fire. He lived to party! He knew how to have fun! Often scheduled and well planned. They would drive around and listen to Pink Floyd, The Doors, and Black Sabbath, but mostly Pink Floyd. He was always accompanied by his guitar, ready to jam. They formed the band Neptune. Practice was in Chucks attic where there were big windows that Frank would sing/shout out. It consisted of Ed, Chuck, Frank, Martie, Jeremy, and Jon. Way to many for an attic band, not to mention an attic! He was also members of other local bands.

By the time I got to meet him he was now a nurses aide caring for his terminal wife. Still playing guitar but was keeping the partying to a minimum. He kicked a heroin addiction, which to me is an amazing accomplishment. He sadly passed away at 32 on May 26, 2009. Everyone will remember him for his kind and compassionate heart, love of music, fun loving spirit and amazing musical talent….
