Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago.

seriously, and respectfully. when it’s a post for her, about her, would it be hard to spell her name correctly? Nine characters...

And yes, the most amazing voice, ever. Not my #1 but in the top 10, rated for emotional connection.

Wow!!!  You didn't mention specifics about who misspelled what. So I looked around the comments only to find that I misspelled "Carpenters" in my title!!! 

I am so embarrassed. Spelling, punctuation, and grammar is important to me. And misspelling the name of my beloved Karen is particularly embarrassing. I tried to edit my mistake but it can't be done after thirty minutes. I know this because I tried to add a comma to a different comment that I made, and then learned about the thirty minute limitation on editing. 

Anyway thanks for pointing out my mistake. Unfortunately I can't fix it. And by the way, it's difficult to write more than a few words in this little box because I can't see everything that I've written. I have to scroll around, if you know what I mean.

@unclewilbur  , this site will not let you make an edit to the title of your thread even if you do catch it before the 30 minutes is up.

@mitchagain “Have you picked up the 2018 release: "Carpenters with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra?"

I stream that album often, but I haven’t bought it. I really like it for a different flavor of Carpenters music. And since you’ve reminded me of it, I will definitely listen to it tonight.

@unclewilbur Yes, I own the "Royal Philharmonic Orchestra" CD. The last time I checked, a new copy on Amazon was only $9,00, which is a steal. It has become one of many go to CD's for showing off my audio system. 

Since you lived on the Dry Tortugas, do you know the song "Hey Papa" by Terence Boylan? The song is about Ernest Hemmingway. Terence went to Bard College and was friends with Walter Becker, Donald Fagen & Chevy Chase. His brother, John Boylan, was a well-known record producer in the 1970's. Not surprisingly, many of the great session musicians who played on Steely Dan albums also played on Terence's albums (Eponymous Debut & "Suzy").
