prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

An evening with the Carpenters.

In the late 1960s Jackie and I lived about ten miles from Long Beach State. One evening we attended a program put on by the college music department. We had friends who had a child in the program. The program had performances by Richard and Karen Carpenter. They later gained great fame as the Carpenters. Last night the local library hosted a program of Carpenter music.

Lisa Rock sang so beautifully like Karen Carpenter. She was accompanied by two talented musicians on the drums and piano.



Here is a short video of Lisa singing.
