Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Life can be strange. Sometimes we don't recognize those little 'nuggets' till nearly midnight in our life. Although Karen was never one of my favorites while growing up, her voice and songs become more memorable and cherished as years go by. Here is one of those memorable 'nuggets' of mine worth sharing with my Wire Pards on this rainy Monday morning here in E.Tennessee. Hope you enjoy. ..........Widder

Pat Riot Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 The first time I heard this song it was a beautiful sunny day in Rogers Arkansas. I was in 7th grade without a care in the world.

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 For a number of years in the 1970s I don't think you could go to a prom, graduation or a wedding without hearing, "We've only just begun" or "Close to you"!
Major E A Sterner #12916 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 The first concert I ever went to was the Carpenters, sometime in the early 70's I think.
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 I bought tickets to take my mom to see them at our junior college gym. There was a basketball game first and then they had to clear the building for the concert. I went to the game, then went outside. I had given her both tickets and never found her and couldn't get in for the concert. Mom had a great time. I went back to the house a group of us rented and everyone laughed when I told them what happened. Paid to see the Carpenters then didn't even see them. Plus for me at the time it's surprising that I was able to spring for the tickets in the first place. Mom recently passed at my home but we always laughed at that story.

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 A band I was in during the bi-Centennial year had a Carpenter's medley that we did. Final was " Rainy Days and Mondays". The other first player and I had a duet during it. Dynamite sound between him and I. One of my highlight memories besides meeting my wife in that band. That was 45 years ago
