Grandmother's House

Hi Carly,

I want to thank you for the many years of beautiful music. I have really enjoyed your latest release, Into White and look forward to many more songs in the future.

Can you tell me what the inspiration was for "Grandmother's House". I just heard it on your My Space (http://www.myspace.com/carlysimon). As I understand it, it was recorded during the Bedroom Tape sessions and was available in a limited release of that album. I have never heard it until now and really enjoyed it, but the lyrics and theme is so different from many of your other songs. Can you shed any light on it?

Dear Mark,

Don't have time to write all it needs to explain it, but suffice to say it's about a woman with a cocaine addiction trying to rush through the rush hour traffic in New York to meet her dealer so she can make it through the holidays (or so she hopes).

Love to you, Carly - 11/1/07
