I Know My First Name Is Stephen
I mentioned on another thread that it would be a dream to see a permanent Carpenters Museum created in the duo’s honour, akin to the ABBA Museum in Stockholm. If such a thing ever happened, what items would you like to see on display?
Some of mine would be:
- Karen’s Jellybean and Blue Swirl drumkits
- Karen’s 1979 Mercedes 350SL
- “Close To You” lead sheet
- Herb Alpert’s “Weeee We’re Number One” note
- Selection of original demo tapes on display of their 1960s demos
- Previously unreleased photographs from Richard’s archive
- Karen’s solo album outfits (if Richard still even has them)
- Carpenters original stage logo
- Selection of outfits we’ve seen in well-known photos, such as Karen’s yellow 1981 “Good Old Dreams” outfit and their 1974 Japanese kimonos
