Rick apparently Richard was a chain smoker don't know if he still is though. When I think of formula I think of the winning formula of the carpenters voice, production, musicianship the entire package. I also think of racing which was one of Richards passions I hear.

When I hear the word feud, it makes me think of a couple things. One where Karen and Richard worked for Mr. Guder who they named their song after and also where they had some sort of feud with Neil Sedaka.
Next word: STATE

State brings to mind a few things. First the song "boat To Sail" - "you're upSTATE up late and city fed. And also the fact that the Carpenter family moved from the statye of Connecticut to the state of California. Next word: Funny

*Funny* makes me think instantly to the *Live At Budokan* tape, where, in the soundcheck, Karen ask..., *Have you got the floors on..., Mark?..., they are..., that's probably why it sounded funny.

Crazy isn't it. Today when I set the new icons I must have given the arrow thing a code which was too basic and it's showing up all over the place. anyway I changed the code so now the problem is fixed. Thanks Roland for pointing out this problem to me (no pun intended).

@& Continuing with the game the name JETHRO TULL makes me think of Terry Ellis. Terry Ellis with business partner Chris Wright started the record label Chrysalis. Ellis who was manager of the band Jethro Tull of course signed the group to the label. Ellis also signed 70's group Ten Years After. In the late 70's early 80's Ellis also worked with Blondie and several other. In 1975 (?) Terry Ellis dated Karen. They had considered marriage. But pressures from Richard, family and A&M broke the couple up.

For the word obscure: Karen's missing songs like Church Choir, Basket Case and any others that we haven't heard yet.
Next Word: SAFE

When I think of the word safe I think of the story behind the song Superstar. It was considered riske or not playing it safe to release a song with the subject matter that Superstar had. Also Richard played it safe by changing the line from "I want to sleep with you" to "I want to be with you. Safe=Playing it safe. BTW Rick like the story of Karens romance I did not know the exact reason for the breakup and the family pressure reason does not surprise me fits right in with all the other stuff Karens family put her through. Rick whats the deal with the background pic what is its origin it looks rather strange...good but strange. My word is Frustration

Enigma this is a word I'm sure everyone can relate to but in regards to the Carpenters this is how it deals with me.
I can remember that from the day I heard of Karen's passing to a long long time after I became very frustrated because no one (family or friends) knew just what Karen meant to me. It was like I had to go through my grieving all by myself because to everyone else, she was a singer who I liked in their minds and that was it. But it was far more than that so frustration was what I went through during that period of time.

*Fair*..., easy one.
The solo album story was not *fair* regarding Karen.
Next word : Earth
The background pic is a 1973 soundcheck pic..., but, I don't know where it was taken. [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland Chayer[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

EARTH.......Karen's epitaph "A Star on EARTH, A Star in Heaven".
I won't give a new word since Roland thought my word was Fair. My word was FAIL so we'll continue with that one again.
Your answer for Fair was good though too, Roland.

Sorry beaner...
Sometimes I wonder if I am on planet *earth*..., yes, sometimes I *fail*..., it's not *fair*...
Just kidding ..., the word is still : Fail.[glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland Chayer[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow]

when I think of the word fail...it's something R. and K. worked very hard not to do..and mostly succeeded as far as their music goes...and yet it's through our failures and mistakes that we learn what works and what doesn't. I also think of how Karen had in her mind to reach that "ideal weight" and mostly felt like a failure when she didn't reach it. next word: "hangin" from a song

Days Of Future Past makes me think of The Moody Blues. Both the words moody and blues make me think of aspects of Karens personality and aspects of the songs she sings. Bet you did not see than analogy coming!lol
My word Apple

Beatles record label was "Apple" and the Beatles performed Ticket to Ride and so did Karen and Richard.

Envelope makes me think of the time when the C's were presenters on the 1974 Grammy Awards.
Enigma - Interesting answer to Days Of the Future Passed I really hadn't thought of that one. but Days Of the Future Passed did make think about Peter Knight (who did the orchestration for the album). Knight also orchestrated a few songs on "Passage", "christmas Protrait" and a few other Carpenters albums. Also in connection with Moody Blues in the late 70's Karen met MB's vocalist Justin Hayward at a party. I always thought Justin Hayward and Karen would have done an outstanding duet.
I just can't help myself, but another good one for APPLE is Karen's solo album was recorded in New York (the big apple).
