If you know me well at all, you know that rock is my usual music of choice. But I have pretty eclectic taste in music and have a little bit of folk, country, R&B, Sinatra, and even some rap in my collection. I've also been known to listen to Sunday Baroque on NPR. And I love hymns.
Then there are some old favorites. I don't know what the genre is. Seventies something-or-other. The stuff my mom listened to when I was a kid. Neil Diamond, Gordon Lightfoot, Olivia Newton-John, Jim Croce, and this one. My favorite:
I have loved the Carpenters since I was a little kid. But the reason that this CD is one of my happy things is because Karen Carpenter's voice is JUST PERFECT for me to sing along with. When I sing along with Karen, I feel like I can really sing.
And that makes me happy.

She has such a nice deeper voice. I used to put on the album, sit in my rocking chair, and sing along, especially when I was feeling a bit out of sorts. I know most of the greatest hits by heart ;-).
Have you been holding out on me? The next time I visit you I'll be asking for some 70's background music :) Maybe starting with Karen C.
