Replying to: fezo (May 19, 2008 8:24 am) Allow me to explain it to you. These old groups add younger people to the team who take their direction from one or two of the remaining old timers. For example, the Platters only have one original guy who really joined the Platters after they got started. He was a young teen at the time. He's probably in his late 60's or early 70's by now, but sounds terrific. The older ones train the younger ones in the "old sounds". That way, the group keeps going. Other groups, like the Coasters, the Embers, the Tams, the Zodiacs, etc. have done the same thing. Sadly, with the Carpenters, there was just no replacing Karen after she died. She and her brother were such a wonderful pair. Have a great trip. Richard |

Replying to: richard64 (May 19, 2008 8:52 am) A bit of trivia for you. When I was in the 10th grade, I sat in the auditorium in high school and I watched in awe as the lead in Carousel played his part. I vowed at the time that when I was a senior, I would be the lead in the Senior Play...and I was! The guys name was John Bettis. He went on to write most of songs for the Carpenters and he's done a lot of other things too. I guess, much of my life has been up on stage in my former life and even now, I have to be an actor sometimes. John Bettis had a hand in that, so many years ago....

Replying to: fezo (May 19, 2008 8:24 am) I was thinking the same thing.

Replying to: isellhondas (May 19, 2008 8:58 am) To stay on topic: I didn't have a car in college---just my old bicycle. I was lucky to have my peanut butter sandwiches during the week and six beers on Saturday night.  Richard |
