Rocky Mountain Gothic
A Colorado photograph, a cinnamon-roll stop, and the memory of taking the long way.
Behind the work
Original photograph
A photograph of Robert’s sister and brother-in-law outside the Glen Haven General Store became a song and a collection of music posters.
About the music
This song began with Robert’s photograph of his sister and brother-in-law outside the Glen Haven General Store. A bench, a paper sack, a Coke bottle, and two pairs of dark glasses anchor the story.
The trip toward Estes Park, the store’s return after the flood, and the ritual of stopping for frosted cinnamon rolls become a song about taking the long way.
