| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. It occurred to me that most people on audiogon are mainly into rock. So, many of you might not know who Alabama is or how famous they are. So I will give you some information below. ALABAMA is the band that changed everything. They reeled off 21 ... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. I could never understand why Alabama was playing there in such a remote place. A few minutes ago I looked at the map where I accidentally ran into Alabama in the middle of nowhere. There is a place called Pitman Center with a population of 461 peo... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. I haven’t been to as many concerts as some people I know. But I’ve had some very unusual concert experiences. In 1981, I was working for Smoky Mountain National Park and I had a paycheck to cash. Unfortunately, several days before getting my check... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @grislybutter Dang it!!! I should have been a landscape architect. Meeting Yoko would be a trip!!! She’s a mystery to me, but meeting her would be great. IMAGINE MEETING JOHN!!!! (pun intended 😃) Seriously, John was my favorite Beatle. Paul ha... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @wyoboy 👍 Great story, man!!! 😃 | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @wyoboy Because you mentioned Lynard Skinard, I’ll tell a quick story about their Memphis concert in the summer of 1975. I showed up at the doors of the concert about 4 hours early and nobody else was around. About 30 minutes later, five long ha... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @wyoboy I seriously wish that I had been at Carpenters and Elvis concerts at the very peak of their careers!!! You were so lucky! I can only imagine Elvis in '70, and Carpenters in '73. The Carpenters released "Now And Then" (their 5th album) i... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @mitchagain I never heard the song “Hey Papa” so I streamed it to know more. It’s a nice song and I could listen to more of that. There are many things like music, movies, news, popular trends, etc that I have missed through most of my life, b... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @grislybutter You wrote “ESL” … My brain refuses to cooperate with acronyms so I looked it up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now I get the idea. Is that a real acronym?!? A lot of time could be saved for the reader if it were written as “english second language.” 😄... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @mitchagain “Have you picked up the 2018 release: "Carpenters with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra?" I stream that album often, but I haven’t bought it. I really like it for a different flavor of Carpenters music. And since you’ve reminded me o... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @grislybutter Wow!!! You didn't mention specifics about who misspelled what. So I looked around the comments only to find that I misspelled "Carpenters" in my title!!! I am so embarrassed. Spelling, punctuation, and grammar is important to me... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @discnik Fifty cents??? You must have more albums than cents!!! Or should I say, you have more albums than sense... ...Either way seems right. 😜 Anyway, I've done much worse. Twenty-five years ago I put together a $20,000 high end audio sys... |
