Yes, indeed!

Would kill to be there, but alas I am unable to attend.

boobs, if I lived there, IN A HEARBEAT.........love her

My wife just bought one of her greatest hits.

Boobs & Addy - I bet the whole audience sings - and I'll join in from here - have a great time!

She's been around along time. Okay..here's my Carole King story. 3 woman from my neighborhood where I grew up had a little group back in the 60's..they were known as the Carmelettes (name taken from our parish Church...Our Lady of Mt.Carmel). Anyway...Neil Sedaka had asked them to do back up on a song he wrote for Carole King called "Oh Carol"....my friends Mom does the high part on the song...well, Carole decided to do a response back called "Oh Neil" which the girls did back up for her. She liked the girls so much and wanted them to always do back up for her and would be called "Carole King and her Kittens". The girls bowed out gracefully because they wanted to settle down and have families...they never knew she would make it so big. They say they have no regrets.

I still love listening to "Oh Carol" and hearing Angela's voice...what's funny is is that her daughter (my friend Susan) loves to perform and you never know when she'll pop up doing something in the City..her solo performance was loads of fun.

Outdoors would be a wonderful way to enjoy a Carole King concert!

I can't even remember a time when she wasn't in my 'life'. I still have my well-worn Tapestry piano sheet music. It's held together with layers of tape from YEARS and YEARS of play...

hmmmmm....

I'll go check the concert schedule and see what kind of a meeting I can come up with to coincide!

hmmmm....

*cheers!*

When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

Wish, wish, wish I could go to this concert! I played my sister's Tapestry record over and over and memorized the songs as if they were from Broadway musicals!

This was always my favorite--even as an adolescent I was a drama queen--I would alternate lip-synching to this with "So Long, Dearie":

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time.
There's something wrong here--
There can BE no denying!
One of us is changing,
Or maybe we've just stopped trying...

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Something inside has died
And I can't hide
And I just can't fake it.

It used to be so easy living here with you.
You were light and breezy,
And I knew just what to do!
Now you look so unhappy,
And I feel like a fool...

And it's too late baby, now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Something inside has died
And I can't hide
And I just can't fake it.

There'll be good times again for me and you,
But we just can't stay together--
Don't you feel it too?
Still I'm glad for what we had,
And how I once loved you...

And it's too late baby, now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Something inside has died
And I can't hide
And I just can't fake it.
