A truly wonderful tribute...

Let's share words that give tribute to Carpenters, Karen. Richard or anything/anyone in connection with Carpenters.

Let me start by saying I love all the wonderful friends, family and fans here at The Avenue!

Nice start, Rick and the words in "Sometimes" do it best too!

True the words to "Sometimes" are appropriate in many circumstances.

Speaking of friends of The Avenue CG should be back from vacation very soon!

What a good idea! Let's see...hmmmm....words that give tribute to Carpenters might be: captivating - harmonious - courageous - dark - genius - unmatched....just a few to start with.

I couldn't agree more with the other sentiments in the thread regarding those who visit The Avenue. All are like family, and we have these marvelous discussions "around the kitchen table" as it were in cyber land, regarding a favorite group of musicians who gave amazing performances on record, and in person.

Yes, Beaner - you're so right! "...and I count the times I have forgotten to say, thank you and just how much I love them...."

Thank you, friends. You are loved.

Through thick and thin... the song "That's What Friends Are For" sums it up nicely...
"For good times and bad times... I'll be on your side forever more... That's what friends are for..."

Welcome Back CG... you were missed. I look forward to hearing all about your vacation!

Good Friends Are For Keeps...
