Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago.

I just listened to the Royal Philharmonic concert.

WOW!

I had forgotten besides that voice, what a powerful communicator she was.

@immatthewj @wyoboy Fine! I guess I take it back, seeing the Queen doesn't make it as fun a story to tell than getting busted for it  

Bragging rights are yours, @grislybutter .

@immatthewj let’s share it 

No, @grislybutter , meeting Lucinda and doing an imitation  of a coked up Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now is not in the same league.  This one is yours, my friend--you have earned it.  

I remember her and have always liked her music. Tonight when I was playing the trombone, I cued up a few of her songs to remember her and expand my list of familiar songs to play. I have always loved her voice and always thought it tragic that her talent was lost to her bulimic ways. My wife appreciates my playing and so its customary to play for her before dinner. She will often make requests which I happily comply to play. I am blessed to be able to give her musical joy with my limited talents. I am thankful she enjoys my efforts.
