Most of these songs are precursors to what eventually became the book. As the narrative only goes up to 1983, there are many songs to follow.
In addition, as you’ll see, there is some cross-pollination in the titles of the book and the album, as in Boys in the Trees and Songs from the Trees, If you feel like playing this puzzle, there are clues of how to cross-reference the songs with the chapters, pages and words. Most of it is pretty clear, but you may get waylaid on a few points: That’s right, you’ll find out that Mick Jagger did not write Mozart’s’ clarinet concerto, and that Jackie Robinson DID indeed do the background vocals to “You’re So Vain” after Benny Goodman left the control booth. Don’t get Orpheus and the Boys in the Trees confused. They are one and the same. We are one and the same.
For all of the listening I hope you will do: “I Can’t Thank You Enough.”
