Life with the Carpenters

Hi, my name is Gaillard Lee Johnson, and while life entervenes and makes it difficult to find time or inclination to do what we wish, maybe fate is wielding a hand here , as I want to offer to fans and others this new design which I think encapsulates well how The Carpenters music has shaped my life.

The Carpenters filled my life with warmth and compassion as my school days were often challening , yet coming home to their bright, sometimes funny, vibrant songs  - Karens Voice and her brothers well known genius at the keys and  gift of  writing songs , made a sometimes  heart frought day turn into sunshine.

​

My mother, on the day of Karens passing called me , so I didn't have to hear it on the news, to let me know Karen had passed away .  Many years has passed and here we find ourselves still emersed in the songs of The Carpenters, just as we were then and always will be, so glad their sound is with us as we traverse our days events.

​

SO, to Karen and Richard that through time we'll all be so lucky to be able to hear them in whatever form we choose, Thank You so much for being there , and in return your steadfast friends wish you well, to fantasic music, heart felt memories and the desire to make sure there is no future wihtout the sound of The Carpenters.

​

​

Sincerely Yours,

​
