Above is the link to part one of "Hope I Die Before I Get Old - Karen Carpenter". This was a BBC2 radio program.

There are many photos to go along with the audio. Many of the pics are ones I hadn't seen before.

Rick, The pink bunny sweater ( the 'estate' pic with the large dogs) is included in the pics shown.

This is the link to part 2.

Again, there are pictures I have never seen before.


***********

The 2 part discussion weighs some of the pros and cons, talks of the media coverage, and other factors about Karen.

I found this 'show' to be quite interesting.

One of my favorite quotes about Karen that came from the show was (and this is paraphrased) ... "She could hold a song, she could hold a crowd, but there was always something she was holding back"...

WOAH! Imagine my surprise to find one of MY OWN PERSONAL PHOTOS in this video. The photo where Karen and Richard are bowing, she in yellow, he in Red, is MY PHOTO from their 1973 concert appearance here in Springfield MO. Ah yes, the power of the internet rears it's head yet one more time, eh? I'm sure that was taken either from the picture boards here, or from my MySpace page, as it is posted there. Richard has this photo, now.

All in all, the video is kinda cool, talking about Karen, the Drummer, and having almost 11 minutes worth of photos. The reason you've not seen a lot of the photos I'm sure wj7 is because some have been just picked up from others collections, as this one was. At one point, I believe, Randy Schmidt also had it on his picture pages. At any rate, thanks for the link to it.

Now that WOULD be quite a surprise! I consider you quite fortunate to have been there to take the picture. You are a lucky man, T!!

I went back and looked again - my shot is at 3:24! That concert was excellent. Their look had really, really, REALLY changed from the concert I saw in 1971.....big difference.
