The Handcart Company
mp3: I Do (But I Don’t)
Dear The Handcart Company,
So I know this may seem a little self indulgent to write a letter to you considering that I am a member of your band, but you have been on my mind much lately (especially in light of the fact that the remaining members played a medley of love songs at a wedding tonight). This whole thing has shaped and morphed over the space of over two years, beginning with just me and James playing some tunes in his apartment at the Bavarian. We went through a ton of changes (members, names, instruments) and I know that many times the whole thing may have ended up as a joke (an instrumental band based on the life of Mormon Pioneers), but honestly I would never give back all the saturday mornings that I spent with you — telling ourselves that the music that we made was the sound of the trails.
As that anything I have said previously or hereafter could be considered a bit trite, I will simply bid you farewell. Lets do it again sometime.
Love, Rob
