Dear friends and attendees of my home base,
I am on my way to NY to perform with Ben. He is playing at Joe’s Pub on Saturday night and it is his launch party. I always imagine rockets and fuel at launch sites, but Joe’s Pub is actually fantastic and intimate and non fueled except by a great music and sound system. His show is so together and brilliant that I am loath to get up on stage with him even for a song, but there you have it. My usual.
The picture here is one I took yesterday of some of my animals being fed by Richard (my adorable special sweet one). I am going to clear some pasture so that they can graze new territory and then I’m actually going to milk the sheep and goats for cheese. How the hell do I do that? If anyone knows, please give me a hint, otherwise I’m apt to go for the wrong part of the body.
My farm is exasperatingly beautiful and leaving it even for a few days is hard. Molly is hiding under the covers right now because she sees a suitcase on the floor. But I’m so excited about Ben. Have you heard his record? cd? Whatever...it's thrilling. He has reached a pinnacle. Maybe it's the first of many.
Sally is manifesting motherhood. I spent a few days with her last week and we walked the streets of Boston and she pushed the heaviest baby buggy you have ever seen while Bodhi was in hers or my arms. He is a gorgeous, well behaved and slightly teething almost one year old. His head is like the most perfect orb, and very heavy filled with all the brains a baby is allowed. He's almost walking but his feet are still a tiny bit too small to support his beautiful blonde haired head. He's so good and so precious.
The ordeal with Starbucks is not to be underestimated in terms of my preoccupation with it. Their firing of everyone at Hear Music, just three days before "This Kind of Love" came out caused me some pretty serious damages. I’m hoping to re-release it elsewhere and really make people aware of it (not at Starbucks stores---perhaps we'll try tea this time).
I’m so glad you're out there and ready to help and have already helped and supported me. I feel it. Keep the name out there. Doesn’t matter what label it's on, or if I just sell it on my site (carlysimon.com). Just keep the name out there. I believe it's mine!!!!!!
Much love to all. I’ll be better at writing and sending letters more often.
Carly
