  Recording

  

  Chaps,
  
  We are recording here. This is a pic of the days goings on.
  
  Nothing has really been accomplished because of technical difficulties, but boys seem to love technology. What's with them?
  
  However, yesterday we got a great track (finally doing it in the old
  fashioned way) by putting a single mike in the middle of all the players and having all kinds of leakage.
  
  It's great. Brian Wilson said that the day music dies will be when players are separated from each other by vocal booths and such. Maybe it wasn't Brian Wilson. Maybe it was me. Brian Wilson said a lot of wonderful things though.
  
  Frank Filipetti is here. Teese Gohl, David Saw, Peter Calo, Ben and myself. We are just doing this for fun. No plans to put it out except maybe to you guys. I can't believe people are just getting together for fun.
  
  "Three Days", the track we did yesterday, sounds so great and different and magical.
  Love to all,
  Carly

  Simon Speaks - Chords & Voices

  

  Dear friends,
  
  I'm writing a song with David Saw here. Sometimes the chords lead the way. On the piano that's even more evident. You can close your eyes and splay your fingers and come up with a chord that surprises you and gives you ideas. The guitar is harder in that way for some reason. Some days the words just flow from emotions and also from things that I've read.
  
  Yesterday I read a book by a friend of mine who died when I was quite young. His name is Max Eastman and I felt amazement in reading about a life, which I only knew toward the end. I used to go to his house on the Vineyard here, but up island, and sing for him. He always liked it when I sang "John Henry". That was when my sister Lucy and I were doing plentiful folk songs and I was singing in an Odetta voice (or else, I hoped I was).
  
  Sitting here with David, I'm singing in that Odetta voice again. The kitchen, where this picture was taken, gives rise to great resonance and depth to all the acoustics. The ceiling is a dome and there is place just under the center of the dome which sounds like a cathedral.
  
  There is so much more about Max Eastman that I want to say, but maybe it's just the beginning. He was an amazing man in case you want to find a book of his on Amazon. There is a great one that followed the one I just read (Enjoyment Of Living) called "Love And Revolution". I'm going to order that and follow this man's life. He was a freedom fighter and believed in both Jesus and Marx. He lived in the village (NYC) and Provincetown, had many gorgeous wives and was the great romantic. He was also, at the age of ninety, the most handsome man I ever saw.
  
  That's it for today chaps.
  Love, Carly
