Superb - thanks for posting. It's so close to the original and yet has almost a symphonic quality about it.

A superb version and I also believe I have their great YT video version of "25 or 6 to 4". I hope they are all ok.

Great news, thanks for that, John ! A music tour, especially in the good, ole USA, beats just about anything ...... including and most certainly getting bombed !

@jkuvakas They are an extremely talented group and I hope they make it to the big time. If they're smart they will stay on tour for a couple of years....or maybe permanently. I imagine several group discussions on this theme have already occurred in the back of the tour coach.

Sorry what a downer of a song...
Steve, I was at boarding school where, for 30 minutes prior to 'lights out' we had silence in bed for 'reading' and during my second year 12yrs / 13yrs (and far from home) the brother in charge used to play the Carpenters and Glenn Campbell over the Tannoy system ! ! ! By The Time I Get To Phoenix / Galveston and this. To describe it a suicidal would be rhetorical, but these days I love it - as I guess Brother Owen did!

The Carpenters were pretty good to my ears. Here in California they even used one of their songs I believe it was "We've Only Just Begun" as a bank background music commercial.
And as a side note I know that the brother Richard is a big car collector or was a big car collector. I've seen a few of his T-Birds at a car show here one year.

Steve; I recall reading several years ago that Richard Carpenter had quite an impressive collection of early 60s Chryco vehicles. Do you know of this?

@jkuvakas Given these are the thoughts of a man about to go into battle and wondering if he'll ever see his love again, the slower and more heavily charged tempo make a lot more sense. Many thanks for sharing this: with 18 albums, I'm a bit of a fan!
