In the vault: session photographs, press clippings, and Carly’s notes for this chapter are being prepared for members.
Open the vault — join
Behind every song

I keep everything

working tapes, handwritten lyrics, photographs from the studio, coasters and matchboxes from a vanished parade of hotels and restaurants…the works. I’ll be dedicating a room for each one of these twelve songs, a first look experience open to everyone.

Come in See my archive first

One page is already out in the open — the rose , mine to give, yours to pass along.

Elsewhere

Come find me in the other rooms too.
