Tonight my Mom & I went out to eat, a very rare thing that happens theses day but what made it even more special was a little after we ordered or while we were ordering can't remember *$ any way you know how loud the music and the people can get , ok the place was just down right noise all of a sudden I heard 2 notes and i knew who it was %* you know WHOOOOOO Richard & Karen the song was " For All We Know " and as soooooon as the song started the whole place got real calm & quiet, it was truly amazing %W$ and as sooooon as the song started to end it got allll noisy again I really thought that was sooooooo amazing Richard & Karen sure are the greatest ever %* ^^ *%

%: I tell 'ya .....Karen still shines!
Just amazing! I know that many times, whatever I'm doing or even if I'm just listening to someone else talk in a car or whatever...The C's come on ...and I have to stop for a while and hear them....

Great story. Thanks for sharing Beth. I also heard "For All We Know" at Home Depot on March 17th. When the song came on my friend and I stopped talking and listened for about a minute.

!@ Wow Beth. I really find your
story so interesting. Like Smoothie
said Karen still shines, which I
could not agree more but there is
an element at work here that goes
even deeper. I know when I am feeling stressed or anxious, I can
listen to Karen for a while and I
really feel better. Whats really
unique here is that you witnessed
this effect among a large group
of people. It was almost as if
you observing the result of a controled scientific study in which
the outcome was significant or real
and not chance. Like all of us have
said at one time or another, Karen's voice touches the soul. What a great experience you had.
Sure wish I had been there.

I absolutely agree! I always have the Carpenters in my backpack. Whether in the car or at work, I can put them in for a while and mellow out and come back to my senses. The Carpeneters' gifts are so amazing to continue to touch people through the years.

What an interesting thought Jim. It almost does seem like a scientific study of some sort. I have noticed many times in public that when a Carpenters song comes on most people do stop and listen even if just for a half minute or so. Something about Karen's voice makes people listen atleast for a little bit. She has an effect on people.
