Dear Akron Family,
Love is simple.
I saw you play at Nectar’s in Burlington, Vermont. This was two years ago. I was skeptical about paying 30 dollars to watch you play, as I had never heard of you. I chose to shell out the dough, because I thought that there would be photographic moments.

You started off playing the song, “Franny.” I was walking around the venue, checking out artwork and remember being struck. I turned and went up to the front of the stage. It was one of my favorite concerts. I left with two CD’s and a t-shirt.
Love is simple.
I only took three t-shirts on my current year long hitchhiking trip around the USA. A red, cotton pocket t-shirt. A capilene Patagonia t-shirt. And your ‘Love is simple’ t-shirt.
My red t-shirt has died. But your shirt is going strong. I never really wear the Patagonia shirt.
Thank you for the great show and your music. Thanks for the soft t-shirt with a striking message. Thank you for inspiring me to see Love in a new way.
Much Love,
Ben
