A musical friend of mine at work has to put up with quite a bit of my Carpenters talk. I just want him to appreciate the talented duo so I'm trying to educate him over time.
So I was surprised today when he handed me a totally unexpected wrapped Christmas gift. It was clearly a CD. I thought it might be a compilation of his own music. But instead -- the new Carpenters Gold CD. I couldn't believe it! How nice! And the good news is, it is one of the few CDs I don't own.

I, too, have gotten a co-worker to listen to the Carpenters again. I told him I would listen to a song or 2 on break or lunch and it helped calm me down and relax me. That lead to discussions of their music and he was once a fan. He has since picked up several CD's and tells me how he enjoys them! We discuss our favorites from the various CD's he now listens.
We have to remind some people how great and timeless The Carpenters' music is and keep the music playing.

I'm so glad that I got one of the Gold CD's that Richard signed. That and the certificate will go in a frame to hang in my Carpenter Corner of my computer room. The couple of girls in my office know how much I love the Carpenters too. One of them has started singing some of them with her husband. He plays the piano and she sings. The other one, Vickie, made a nice compliment today. We were talking about all the Christmas songs on the radio and she said she could listen to the Carpenters ANYTIME. That made me smile

That is SO AWESOME! To get a gift like that! I know exactly how you feel!
The other day, I was here at the internet cafe, and one of the guys that works here, saw that I was on THIS website, and saw The Carpenters on it, and remarked that he noticed I was on a Carpenters website. So I told him, I have been a fan since I was 16 and that they were my FAVORITE Group. He said, she had a beautiful voice, and we were talking about her, and music today, and the comparison of Karen versus other singers. He knew a bit about her so it was neat to talk about her and the beauty of her voice, and how when she sang, she just sang! No gimmicks! And that was part of the beauty of her voice!. Neat, i thought.

@@ Today I purchased a copy of "Gold: 35th Anniversary Edition" for a friend. I had to go to a few stores to finally find it. It was sold out the first two stores I went to. Judging from all the extra space in the sections where Carpenters discs are, it looks like they've once again sold extremely well this Christmas.
