;)Hey All!!! I have missed all of you so much! I was offline completely after my web browser decided to test the law of gravity by falling from the top of my TV to the tile floor, a distace of about 3&half feet. The results of the test concluded that gravity x distance x tile impact=castastrophic browser failure. Since that time I have replaced my web browser with a new unit and combined my PC and web browser with MSN internet access. MSN internet service provides a wide range of internet radio stations. The station I listen to while web surfing or reading Eemail plays so many Carpenters songs, it just wild! What makes it even more amazing are the songs played. So far I have heard MY BODY KEEPS CANGING MY MIND, IF I HAD YOU, CALLING OCCUPANTS, YESTERDAY ONCE MORE and A PLACE TO HIDE AWAY!! I don't know about the rest of you but this is the first time I have heard songs from Karens solo album on a radio station. Granted it is internet radio and not a standard FM station but just knowing that these songs are being played over the internet is exciting. Finally Karens solo material will have a shot at the promotion it deserves!

::)I know this is so trivial but MSN radio played ONE LOVE, REMEMBER WHEN LOVIN TOOK ALL NIGHT and TOUCH ME WHEN WERE DANCING this afternoon!! I know the novelty will wear off soon but in the mean time I am just amazed at the variety of Carpenters music played. I am sure that on some level the music played on these internet or satalite stations will help record sales and hopefully move all Carpenters albums up to there next level of certification.

To listen to the stations you will need to search for MSN Radio plus. They are currently offering a 30 day free trial. The service is 29.99 per year and I think the first two months are free. The category that plays Carpenters is pop. Once you select pop you will see an index of stations. scroll down until you see the selection titled 70's soft rock 2. which contains selections by Anne Murray, Air Supply, The Carpenters and other artists in this genere. I have MSN as my ISP so the service is included but I pay an additional 4.99 per year for access to the plus stations. Hope this info helps. JIM

?* Thanks Jim, I've checked out MSNRadio - didn't listen to anything - but it intrigues me. It's great that they play so much Carpenters material, especially Karen's solo album.
