This past weekend I went to a wedding. It was a beautiful day. The music at the reception was great. They played The Look Of Love by Dusty Springfield, Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler, I Love You by Climax Blues Band, Sea Of Love by Honeydrippers, You Make Me Feel Brand New by Stylistics. But the best song was I Just Fall In Love Again by the Carpenters. The group I was sitting with ended up in a lengthy discussion about the Carpenters when the song came on.

What neat topic! Gosh it is hard to remember because I've been a shut in as of late. Of course I heard them yesterday on my discman as I took my jog around town, but I am sure you don't mean that.
I did hear them around Christmas time at the mall but I am sure I heard them more recently. I will have to think really hard about it, though as this senility is getting bad!!!! It sucks getting old! One thing is for sure: Whenever I hear them out somewhere I suddenly feel much more at home - much more "invited".
Anyway, great topic and I can't wait to see what everyone else says!

Always in my car! On the way to work tonight, I was playing "Gold." This week in the grocery store, I heard "Top of the World" and sang along! I am sure my 5 year old was annoyed, but I might as well get him used to it!

I know this is a little off topic but when VH1 first came to cable in there first year they had a few carpenters videos. Does anyone else remember this or which ones. As far as the last place I heard the carpenters was last week in the grocery store, the song was was Superstar. At my house and in my car you will always find a Carpenters CD in the player.

Today in the morning, I entered in a ferretery and from the speakers I heard that a local radio station was playing "Close To You".
I stayed waiting until the end of the song, hoping it was a special radio program with the Carpenters, but no.....
Two employers asked to me if I wanted something more, and I told them: " No, I'm only seeing".

The last place I heard the Carpenters was last night on VH1's "I Love the 70s" internet radio...oddly enough, I was in the middle of writing a "thank-you" email to the web site Richard started. I mentioned in my email that "Rainy Days and Mondays" just came on, and I thought it was interesting. Maybe a sign? Who knows...  Laura |

When VH1 was brand new, they played "Close to You," quite a bit. Karen, Richard, and the band were all standing or sitting around the giant word Y-O-U. It had some still photos mixed in with the performance.
That is the only one I remember VH1 playing on a consistent basis. There was a 30 min special a few years ago with Suzanne Sommers, talking about the music of the Carpenters. That special had several performances in it. I think Suzanne was on one of the last Carpenters' TV specials on ABC. I don't remember her being on one of them, but she mentioned it a couple of times during the show.

The VH1 show Suzanne Somers hosted was called 8-Track Flashback. I really enjoyed seeing her sing "Man Smart Woman Smarter" with Karen. They did a good job together.  |

Last palce I heard Carpenters (other than what I played) was last week on a drive to L.A. with some friends, Goodbye To Love was played on the radio. The driver wanted to change it, but I convinced him to keep it there.

???I more than likely will play some of their music at some point every day...usually, when all is quiet and it's just me playing computer games and I have the headphones on.
So, usually I listen to them right here by playing one of the cd's.
But the other day, I had been wanting to hear the record A Kind of Hush for a while. I have it on vinyl. I usually listen to the old records I have when no one else is in the house since though my mom likes the Carps., she's not a real fanatic like me.
So, I listened to a Kind of Hush on the record player. It had been a long time maybe a yr. since I had listened to that one, it made me enjoy it even more...especially A Boat to Sail.
All my music and record player and computer are all here in my bedroom along with my tv.

;Dalso...I know I read here in the history section about Suzanne Somers being a guest on one of the C's shows, but I don't recall watching it when it was on, though I'm sure I did since I always watched everything if at all possible that was on with the C's or Osmonds or J. Denver.
