Ah shoot. I've been thinking about the picture and wondering when it was taken and other facts about it, but it never even occured to me to just ASK. Thank you, Tim, for thinking out loud for me here.

This picture was a gift from my friend Frederick. The smiley face and the Thank You Rick were added to the picture by him.
I don't know a whole lot about the picture - though - it is from 1973 - didn't Karen look great during this period - hips and all - she looked marvelous! Anyway it's the cover for the original sheet music for the song Yesterday Once More (or possibly "Top Of The World").
Notice the price at the bottom $1.25 - which sheet music was still that price. I had bought a few music books and some sheet music in the 70's and somehow a good amount of it has disappeared. I wish I still had all that stuff.
Vintage Carpenters sheet music in mint condition has a fairly high collector's value.

Thanks for the info on the picture, Rick. Glad to know that about the sheet music, because I HAVE A BUNCH OF IT - used to buy the single copies because they were attainable, and they always came out way before the books did. So, I would want to be sure I could use them at places where I played, and would purchase the sheet music for that reason. I have kept some of it in pristine condition, especially my original "Close To You" sheet music, and I think "We've Only Just Begun" isn't too bad. The books are horrible.....I used them so much that they literally fell apart. Plus, I took out a pic or two and decoupaged them back in the day - you know, it was the thing to do, gang! Thanks for this information, though I don't think I could EVER part with my Carpenters sheet music collection - it's just a part of who I am. Tim

I'm the same way... I have certain bits of Carpenters memoribilia which I know has value to it - but will not part with it. Memories are worth far more than any silly old money can be.

I couldn't agree more. Both Richard and Karen look very, tan, healthy and happy. Who could ask for anything more!!

Where was this picture taken? What did they call that outfit which Karen is wearing? Hot Pants? Dr Johnny P LoveTrain The outfit was called "bib overalls" and was popular during a time when classic blue-collar worker garments were worn as all the rage back in the 1970's, along with carpenter jeans, etc. The flared pant legs and colorful patterns that Karen wore in the photo were dressy modifications of the typical straight-legged blue denim versions often worn by mechanics, carpenters, plumbers, and even farmers. "Hot pants" were something completely different — they were ultra short pants. Variations of bib overalls are still being manufactured today.
