I wore her "Tapestry" album out!

It was the sounds track to my early teens!

Tapestry!

I loved her look,

her voice,

her style.

I often asked myself

"Why can't I look  and sing like her!?"

She was fifteen when she started writing

pop songs for

artists!

Here she is with her lyricist Gerry Goffin.

She was 15 and he was 19 when they met.

They married when she was 17.

Isn't she just so cute???

Amazing!!!!

Take a listen.

Natural Woman.....

I Feel the Earth Move

So Far Away

(with another love of mine,

James Taylor)...

I saw Carol once.

She moved to Idaho as a young woman,

and I saw her go through

Mackay, Idaho on a motorcycle

with her husband in the 80's.  

; )

Here is her ranch.

I only have pictures because it

is currently for sale.

I am really not a stalker.

Home schooling her son Levi in Idaho.

She's lived in Idaho 30 years.

I don't know where she's going,

but I know Idaho will miss her!

Here is her new book.

Think I'll try and give it a read.

Here's to an exceptionally

wonderful Thursday

for ya!

Love you all,

dear friends and family!
