Listening to the Carpenters...
...leaves me so appreciative of the music, but it also makes me feel sad.
I need some sort of antidote.
Suggestions?
Hint: tried Simon and G... it didn't help.

Chicago III and Welcome Interstate Messengers took care of it.
Now I'm Ready for Muddy Waters.

I still feel like Karen Carpenter had one of the greatest female voices of all times. If I here her come on the radio, I almost always stop what I am doing and just listen to that voice.

What's the group or duo I keep confusing with the Carpenters? Dang... Oh well, I'll think of them eventually.
There's also Carly Simon and James Taylor.
Plus I can really get into some ABBA from time to time.
Hmm... Now I've got a list of others from that time going through my head! (Dan Fogleberg, Jim Croce, Cat Stevens, Poco, and others to numerous to name - lol!)
*Bing!* Just remembered the other duo: Captain and Tenille. Of course, Muskrat Love always makes me want to hurl...

Some Grateful Dead American Beauty or Workingman's Dead always puts me in a good mood.

One cool thing about comparing the Carpenters to Captain and Tenille is the opportunity to compare songs written by Bacharach to Sedaka.

I used to write off the Carpenters as bubblegum back in the 70's. I'd only heard the same few hit songs on AM pocket radios for a long time. I finally got to listen to a whole album on a good stereo and what a difference! Performance, songs, production were all top shelf. I didn't run ou and get all their albums--I was more into prog at the time--but they did earn my respect. Now, I will listen to them on the radio.
