Also it was big, too big for the intimate music Joni was making at that time (Ladies of the Canyon, Blue). I dont know if they were friendly with each other but they would have certainly run into each other in the lounge. The studio has had a fascinating history, starting out as Charlie Chaplins studios, then Alpert and Moss (A&M) bought it in 66 and converted two sound stages and the swimming pool (!) into state of the art studios. In 2000 Jim Hensons kids (Jim Henson of The Muppets fame) purchased it and renamed it Henson Recording Studios. It is still a busy studio. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henson_Recording_Studios Dave On Sep 26, 2014, at 7:47 PM, Jeff Clark wrote: > So they must have put AM people in C and FM people in B.

The Carpenters were on A&M and recorded their albums in A&M studio C. Joni made her records in studio B. It is more than possible they recorded simultaneously, across the hallway from each other. Joni likely heard that song being recorded on her way to the cigarette machine. > > > On Sep 26, 2014, at 6:35 PM, Jeff Clark wrote: > >> Its interesting to think about song, who wrote them and who popularized them.
