Merry Christmas, Darling 45

Make Your Own Kind of Music

I really enjoyed this program. I own the Carpenters' edits/highlights. I love seeing Karen playing her beloved drums and singing. She was so happy and joyful. She was incredibly gifted. Karen had the sweetest and most beautiful smile. She flashes that smile at Richard during some of their performances. I'm sure Richard cherishes those memories of his sister's "sweet, sweet smile". I cry just thinking about it. She is so greatly missed.

Here is a wonderful website dedicated to the Carpenters on Make Your Own Kind of Music...

Photo of the Week (Actually, two photos this week)

Karen and Phil Ramone. :) :) So sweet.

Great video (by Karen's Condo) set to the wonderful song "If I Had You" from Karen's solo album.

I uploaded the slide show to YouTube. The dissovle transition worked beautifully off-line, but did not transfer well on YouTube.
Ah well .. I tried. Now I know which transitions to avoid in the future.

Happy Birthday sweet Karen.

Happy Birthday Karen!!!

Karen would have been 60 years old today. She is greatly loved and greatly missed. Always in our hearts and prayers.

I set the Karen slideshow to Peter Green's Apostle from his album In The Skies. Peter and Karen are both very soulful people.
