When I think of the word pool two related things come to mind. The game of pool; Both Richard and especially Karen love the game of pool, had a pool table at their house and often challenged friends and guests to a game. (Karen was apparently quite a good player) I also think of a swimming pool; how when the Carpenters got off tour Karen would sit by the pool doing her needle point how she wanted to relax by the pool but often couldn't because she had to record the next album or do a telivision show/interview. Karen once commented that during the Make Your Own Kind Of Music show she was bored when waiting for set changes etc(apparently TV shows have alot of down time) and would rather be relaxing by the pool than doing that show. Just some interesting relations between Pool and The Carpenters.
BTW Roland part of me will always be in Lorraine. I had my most cherished as well as forgettable moments there and I will never forget my childhood there.
My word is Juice (hope this one has not been used)

For some reason the word FLY makes me think of the song "Road Ode". Because it's about life on the road, doing world tours. When you're on tour you fly to many different places around the world. Backing up a little Enigma's word JUICE makes me think of Juice Newton who wrote the fabulous song "Sweet Sweet Smile" with her husband Otha Young. Next word: TRAFFIC

The word traffic, as it relates to the Carpenters, reminds me of when I went to visit Downey in 1984 and I spoke with the church caretaker at the Methodist church. He said that traffic was backed up for miles because of such a long procession for Karen's funeral in 1983. She was so well loved!

???I can't think of any song off hand which includes the word magic..but the whole concept of the Carps....how they came to be and how Karen could sing and be completely in control of a song...is magical...it's magic how very much they affected the world... next word: hope this hasn't been used...FREE

;D Free makes me think of the song "Love Me For What I Am" from the part where Karen sings "And if you're only using me to feed your fantasy. You're really not in love, so let me go. I must be free". What an intense and beautiful song. Next word: ROLL

Late? umm.. let me see...well, if anything, the word reminds me that it's never too late to discover the Carpenters. More and more, young people have the privilage of having access to so much material that can help them learn more about the magic that thay created through their music and their being. Even for us who are familiar with the joy, everyday is a new adventure. A new opportunity to learn something new about K.C. & R.C. that we didn't know or hear something in their songs that takes on a new meaning in our lives. The Carpenters are not an obsession or hobby of ours, they represent the collective experience of what we truly find beautiful and wonderful in life. Love, loss, laughter, pain, highs, lows. Through the Carpenters, we celebrate the best qualities of our humanity and the hope that tomorrow will so much better. It does not matter if you are 1 or 101, it's never to late to find a new gem in their legacy. Good luck in all your searches and remember we've only just begun.....

When I think of experiance I think of ever song that Karen has ever sang. Every song I hear that Karen sings is a different experiece depending on the type of song, her reading of the song and the type of emotion that Karen puts into singing the individual song. Some experiences are simular but for me no two songs envoke the same experience. That is the essence of Karen.
My word is Liberated

Very very good Enigma. Liberated, boy that's a tough one. Well let's see the Carpenters became popular at about the time that Women's Lib was in full swing. Women were becoming professionals in the work force, they were buring their bras, they were singing "I am woman hear me roar". And then there was Karen Carpenter, in the midst of all this Karen never really took a stance for women's lib, she remained sweet and demure. Although in her way she was a role model for women. The young feminine down to earth woman with a beautiful voice, who also happened to play the drums - an instrument which at that point of time was considered a man's instrument. Next word: SCREAM

Hmmm...
Scream...Well I think of the hit single SCREAM by Brother and Sister Michael and Janet Jackson. A duo. Which reminds me of the most famous brother and sister duo in Music History. The Carpenters.
Next word...(or laugh...ha ha ha...a song in which Karen laughs...there are several)...LAUGH...not the word LAUGH but an actual LAUGH by Karen.

Hi Cam, good to hear from you as always.
I pick the song "Breaking up is hard to do" where they mess around at the end. Karen laughs a bit there but enough to know they're having a good time.
Next Word: Exercise

Exercise makes me think of the part in the Karen Carpenter Story where she's shown jogging and on the exercise bicycle.
