Does anyone else out there have a Carpenters Christmas album? It’s beautiful and so sad at the same time. RIP Karen Carpenter, RIP.
Here’s “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”
My personal favorite is the song where you want to lock yourself in a dark basement and listen to one of those radio request shows with a soothing sounding woman. That’s right, it’s time for “Rainy Days and Mondays.”
And because we shouldn’t get too down, how about a song I first learned on “Sesame Street”?
Has anyone been to The Carpenters’ exhibit at the Downey Library? I’ve never made it over while the library is open, but I have seen the two apartment buildings Karen and Richard Carpenter had.
Want more holiday music? The artists I’ve been featuring this month are listed under the disturbing Wham! photo.
Wham! The other outtakes from the “Last Christmas” single are even more disturbing. (Contributed Image)
