| 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... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. @carlso63 Exactly! Here is a typical situation in 1970. Four, sixteen year old boys are cruising around in a car, and listening to the most popular radio station. "Close To You," which is number one on the charts is playing on the radio. All four... | |
| Best Audiophile desktop for under $2500? This is a test. I want to know if this thread still reaches all those who posted. I have a great suggestion. | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. It's good to know that people still appreciate the Carpenters! I just turned off my TV, and I'm going to turn on some Carpenters. 😁 | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. When I'm reading comments on audiogon about the music people listen to, I pay attention because I'm open to new music and I wonder if anyone will mention the Carpenters. I'm aware of the bias against the Carpenters because some people think they'... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @Deep333 There are about 40 videos on utube of Nelson Pass discussing amplifier designs. He's very generous with information and one of the kindest humans. If you're interested, a good place to start would be interviews by Steve Guttenberg and Pa... | |
