Også på spindesinden er man ved at komme i den alder, hvor erindringerne presser sig bog og springer ud i bogform. Nu er turen kommet til Carly Simon, der fyldte 70 i juni. Boys in the Trees: A Memoir hedder bogen, der låner titel fra en af Simons gamle album. Og nostalgi-forlaget Rhino følger op med en opsamling Songs from the Trees: A Musical Memoir Collection med et passende udvalg af sange, der kan akkompagnere læsningen af damens erindringer. Lidt til juletræet?

Og en sang fra dengang, jeg lyttede meget til Simon…
