Janis Joplin - Me and Bobby McGee

One of my mom's favourite songs.
My mom loved Simon and Garfunkel. The closet my dad got to liking popular music was The Carpenters, I kid you not. 😁
Karen's story is so sad ... and a lot of folks forgot she was a pretty good drummer (who played bass occasionally); my landlord's wife, for example, never knew Karen to be anything but a singer, which is what many listeners thought - but she was a lot more than that.
@XaoslordErie She was a bloody marvelous drummer!
Slightly unrelated from the original post, but I have to share this - Chloe is a friend of mine who tours as a Karen Carpenter tribute
Indeed, she's very good - and that's a 1970 song she made sound fairly new, too. She made it hers, which is important, but didn't lose the feel of the original.
@evamarie Awww, that's high praise. I'll be sure to pass it on ❤️
