Laurel Canyon

Laurel Canyon is associated with two separate homes in the lives of the musicians around The Six. Simone Jackson brought Daisy Jones to live with her there, and Karen later bought a place in the canyon where Graham Dunne unofficially moved in. In both accounts, the location becomes more than a backdrop: it holds private arrangements that differ sharply in their circumstances and in the kind of intimacy they make possible.

Two Laurel Canyon Homes

The accounts describe two residences, not a single shared household. Simone’s producer bought her a place in Laurel Canyon after she refused his advances; she then had Daisy move in. Later, with money coming in, Karen spent a day looking with a realtor and bought a pad in the canyon. Graham soon moved in unofficially. The evidence gives no more specific geography, but links the location to separate periods of companionship and domestic life.

Simone and Daisy’s Shared Room

Simone’s place became a refuge Daisy shared with her for six months, including a bed they slept in together. Simone’s firsthand recollection emphasizes how little Daisy slept: Daisy might want the light on at four in the morning so she could read. Daisy connects that insomnia to her childhood, when she stayed awake reading in her bedroom while her parents entertained downstairs. The canyon home therefore holds both an immediate fact of Daisy’s adult life and a habit she traces back to her early years.

Karen and Graham’s Private Retreat

Karen’s purchase arose from a different situation: she wanted to make smart decisions with the band’s growing income and found the pad after a single day with a realtor. In the spring and summer that followed, she and Graham spent their time together there. They grilled dinner on the patio, went to shows every night, and slept late. Graham recalls their weekends as rich, high, and filled with playing songs; the two kept their whereabouts and activities secret, including from Billy Dunne.

A Setting for Private Lives

The two homes place Laurel Canyon alongside contrasting forms of intimacy. Simone’s purchase originated in a producer’s unwanted pursuit, but the place became where she welcomed Daisy; Karen’s purchase was her own decision and became the setting for a concealed life with Graham. The recurring pattern is not a shared address or a single community, but the location’s role in giving relationships room to unfold beyond the band’s public and professional life.
