Dear Honeypie...

Dear Honeypie,

     I am writing to tell you that you are awesome!  Your insanely catchy sing-a-long songs make everything better!  Heartbroken?  You can ease the pain!  Bad day at work?  You can make me forget that crap!  Car got broken into?  Well you might even be able to make that seem alright too...  The point is you're a great band!  Band?  Well kind of, right?  I mean, I understand that the project started without the intention of making it into a full band (you started with just two people!) but things could change.  Trisha Smith and Darian Zahedi, you are the mother and father of Honeypie.  Darian, your a damn talented songwriter.  Trisha, listeners can hear your sweet personality pouring out of your vocals and mixing in with the music on every single track.  Songs that sound this good are magical.  Magical in the way that hundreds of musicians start bands and get together to write songs, record them, and play them, but don't ever write something as fun as Honeypie's music!  That is the magical part!  You two have found a good match and the match is the both of you!

     This brings me to the point of this letter.  So why is Honeypie not a band!?  Don't get mad at me, hear me out.  I mean, I know Honeypie is a band on paper, in the studio, and according to TV shows like One Tree Hill since the music has been featured in the past.  I also know that a live band was formed and played some shows BUT then decided to call it quits.  Seriously I like the music too much to just accept that I won't be able to hear it played live!  Darian, you weren't part of the live version of Honeypie.  Why?  I'm sure you're busy, and I really like Mack Winston and The Reflections, but Honeypie is a big pot of musical gold!  You know that, I know you do!  Maybe a live version of the band needs you!  Trisha, I know you gotta be into the idea of having a live outlet for these great songs!  So lets make it happen guys.  We can do this.  It just takes some time management, a few phone calls to some starving musicians down to do what they do best, play music, and maybe some practice.  DONE.  Then I can happily pay the cover charge to the Detroit Bar and take my place among all the others waiting to see and hear this band live.  Until that day comes I'll probably keep bothering you two.  And I am annoying!  

With love,
     Kyle Deven
