Carole King

Wow! This is why the Tapestry album is a classic! Do you know what being a "classic" means? It means something is timeless, that what was good then (at its creation) is appreciated now and will be in the future, like Mozart, Shakespeare, a 57 Chevy, and Carole King's Tapestry. That's what it means to be classic.

The twelve year old has discovered Tapestry in my CD collection and she is dancing and singing along with it, the whole thing, every single song! She knows the words better than I do! TWELVE years old! This album was released in 1971! TWENTY-ONE years before Tif was even born!

"I feel the earth...move...under my feet..."

This album just reminds me of summertime. It's a summer album to me, because I used to listen to it while I sat in the warm sun on the deck out back of one of my homes while I was reading or just sitting there contemplating life. The album art says summer to me as well. Light, airy, relaxing and warm. Good stuff. A classic.

Huh.

Tif just walked by with a load of laundry and noticed me blogging. She saw the pic of the Tapestry album that is now playing It's Too Late in her room. She asked, "Is that her?"

"yes"

"Does she look the same, or is she older now? Is she still alive?"

"yes, she's alive, she just released a new album"

I took her to the website and showed her the CD and Tif said "I'm gonna buy that! I really like her songs, a lot of them I've heard on tv shows and movies."

Yep, Tapestry...it's a classic!
