Hi All, I am listening to HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS and it is gorgeous. I think this song features Karen's vocals as dreamy. It is just incredible. To hear THAT voice singing a Judy Garland classic, and making it HER own. It is also a rangey song going from extreme lows to extreme highs all in one vocal swoop. A crystalline performance. I am so dissapointed that they never filmed this for their tv specials. This would have been a highlight, to have Karen sing in front of an intimate audience, around a Grand Christmas tree, and with a fire burning in the fireplace, and presents all around. Karen wearing a red gown, trimmed in white, singing like an angel to Richard's accompaniement. When she gets to the end, "Hang your shining star above the HIGHEST BOW, and have yourself a Merry Little Christmas NOW..." it is just so elegant and adds a couple of tears to everyone's eyes at the aching beauty of the song and singer.
My thoughts, Cameron

^* Hi Cam, truly I agree with you. This is such a beautiful song. and Karen really pours all her heart and soul into it. Although I know that Judy Garland introduced this song to the world - to me this song is a Carpenters classic all they way.

*/ ???Cam , hi , how are things your way?...Yes, you hit the nail right on the head again in your description of another great song. Once again, Karen ...guilty...for spoiling us so! But sure glad she did! You got a tree up and all that up there in Canada? You seem to be a very dynamic person...I bet you like to dress things up already for Christmas...my sister-in-law bought a little miniature tree with a little garland of lights and little ornaments. Not sure if mom will want to dig out the usual tree...if not the tree then there will be all the rest with Santa and angels and etc. I listen mostly to the C's Christmas tapes and then mom has like music box dancer kinda music with bells...it's very nice too. ???guess I got off track there again...well, stray thoughts..you know...

Hi Smoothie, I am doing fine. Thanks for asking. Of course, I adore Christmas with all MY heart. No, I don't have a tree up. Since I moved here, I didn't bring a tree and all the trimmings, but Mom is coming with the family to Canmore, to the Hotel where I am a Housekeeping Supervisore, and she will be bringing a tree. I have so much stuff planned, including a much promised viewing of the Carpenters 2 Christmas specials I have on VHS. So that will be exciting. Cam PS. My web blog is cameronlongo.blogspot.com/ and it is there, that I post my thoughts on my life, Christmas, Carpenters and other thoughts...
