Carole King’s Tapestry

Yes loved that album, she wrote a lot for other people and from a very young age. A very talented singer song writer.

Grannyactivist wow! I also had the Sweet Baby James album around the same time and of course loved Your So Vain and the speculation as to whether the subject of that song was Mick Jagger or Warren Beatty or neither!

What a wonderful story, Grannyactivist!
Thank you for sharing it

What a lovely story .

I am also a fan of all three (Carole King, Carly Simon and James Taylor), and love the Tapestry album.

I had a flat on Barlow Moor Road as a student in the late 60s, and worked at Withington hospital for a while in the 70s, renting a bed sit off Burton Road
Grandmajet In the late 60's I lived in Withington on Oak Road which connected Wilmslow Road with Palatine Road, just behind Christie's Hospital, so not that far from you.

I still have my vinyl copy of Tapestry

Granny activist-wow....WOW. How fabulous .something to treasure forever. How lovely!

And I'm not far away from there either!

Fond memories, I love Manchester.

GrannyActavist Thank you! I’m full of good food and wine and just remembered I have this saved on my planner.
I’m going to re watch now.
I cannot think of a better mood enhancer.
?❤️?

Gosh it’s a small world! No Carole King relevance, but I worked at Withington too, in the early eighties. For most of the time I was in a flat on Sandhurst Avenue, which is also off Burton Road. I loved Manchester, so full of life.

Wow, Granyactivist just wow! James Taylor is one of my 1970s idols, he has the most amazing voice and I have most of his LPs and CDs. Our son had student accommodation in Withington and we have always had a soft spot for Manchester. I finally got to see him live when we went to his concert at the MEN about 4 years ago; his voice was still amazing.

Fond memories, I love Manchester
Me too Grandmajet and Chewbacca
I’ve come over all homesick/nostalgic now ??

I have always had a copy of Tapestry which I listen to on a regular basis I just love it, the other one is Jesus Christ Superstar another album of great songs which I will never get tired of,fabulous memories.

What a wonderful story and memory to keep grannyactivist so enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing it.

Small world.

We had our wedding reception at the Nazarene Theological College on Dene Road in Didsbury in 1986.

A few years later my sons were born in Withington Hospital and shortly afterwards they closed the maternity department.

I briefly did some consultancy work at Lorna Lodge on Barlowmoor Road - it was supported housing for single mothers at the time.
