Re: Karen Carpenter.
Ladyislingering, The job was great but it payed pretty crappy. It was a lot of fun because I just had to plug in commercial carts(kind of like 8 tracks) into a machine which would automatically start playing them at a commercial break & do the weather updates. I was the only person in the station because it was on a satellite feed from Arizona so I used to always invite my friends over & we'd have a riot plus even though the station only played easy listening from the 40's,50's,60's & 70's they still would get all types of albums or singles sent to the station so we would get them I got a couple Judas Priest records,Bootsy Collins,Stevie Ray Vaughan...etc plus all of the old stuff too because the music was piped in as I said so we didn't have to play any music. The station ended up letting the staff go because technology brought in a better system where nobody was needed at the station but I did have a fun 3 year run there.
Actually working there really opened me up to a lot of genres(stuff I remembered my parents listening to like Glen Miller or Perry Como) & hearing Karen Carpenter's voice at least 2 times an hour made me realize what a beautiful voice she did have & made me really recognize her as an artist.
