Pamala I am so sorry I missed the party, the holidays have a habit of causing numerous distratctions. I am looking forward to reading the posts from the party and the rest of your interview with Rick. I listened to the clip of Free Of You and I am still stunned how haunting and beautiful. Your voice is incredible! I would love to hear more of your work soon. Sincerely Jim

Jim, just checked the thread and found your lovely message. I am so touched by your compliments. I LIKED being told my voice was "haunting" and it is just the effect I hoped to have on that particular song, so thank you. This experience with ALL you Carpenter fans has left me feeling very embraced and appreciated on a level you cannot imagine. I feel "discovered" by a whole new world, a world of thoughtful individuals who know how to nurture the soul of an artist. I wish Karen could be here to feel the love from all of you, since your devotion to her is many-fold more. I am happy to share her spotlight, if only a little! She is generous from the "other side!" With Love, Palma

I finally received my copy of Palma's "Broken Cup" CD today. I am so excited about it. Palma personally wrote a short note to me and signed the inside of the front cover picture. I thought that was very nice of Palma. She's really down to earth."
I popped the CD in and listened to it in my travels of the day. Delightfully I was able to listen to the first eight songs without interruption. What a treat this was to listen to Palma so beautifully sing Praises and tell heartfelt life lesson stories. Palma has a wonderfully beautiful voice. At times her tones are reminiscent to Babra Streisand. Other times she sounds a bit like our own Karen Carpenter. Palma truly has a voice from Heaven. she sings in clear pure tones and you can understand every word she sings. What a wonderful talent.
Below is some information on how to purchase this CD and her other releases.
Palma has three CD's available for purchase. The Broken Cup - a Christian music disc In and Out Of Love - pop songs I'll Leave The Music To You - pop songs You can order these by writing to Palma at: Palma Pascale P.O. Box 1644 Valley Stream, New York 11582-1644 The discs are $15.00 each plus $1.50 shipping per disc. You can send her a check or money order. Here are a few sound samples of the songs:

Everything you said about Palma's voice is right on, Rick! She has such a beautiful, pure voice! I am hoping in the new year sometime, I will be able to get my own hands on a copy of her cd, "The Broken Cup".
Things are a little bit tight right now, financially....but I won't let that stop me from ever getting her cd! It'll happen! 8c)
Are both those songs from the "Broken Cup" cd, Rick? Thank you so much for providing a listen to those songs....enjoyed them once again! <><

Oh, good, the thread continues to unravel! What lovely words, Rick, I am very honored to have such nice things written about me. I look forward to writing Part 3 of my interview shortly so we can all continue our excellent adventure! I want to tell HEARTWAVES that the songs she hears "Free Of You" and "He's There, She's There" are on the pop albums. I will fully detail which albums contain which songs soon, as I am going to add to the masters and put them in a order which will please my new friends, so I'll keep you posted. I have told our "leader" Rick that if he wishes, he can upload some samples of "The Broken Cup" for you to share, also. I want to wish ALL OF YOU a "Merry Christmas, Darling, Happy New Year Too" and I know you can all HEAR it now as I write it, and that's what I really MEAN to say. Thanks for being so warm and inviting as you open your "site" to this visitor! Now PARTY ON!

Hi Palma, here's an easy question for you.
Most Carpenters fans consider "Horizon" to be their very best album. Your song "Love Me For What I Am" contributes to this status which "Horizon" holds. How do you feel about that?

I didn't know that most fans feel HORIZON tops their list of favorite albums!This site of yours holds many fascinating secrets and facts, and I never thought after all these years, I could revisit the Carpenter experience and feel more appreciated for my work now than when I was actually involved in the 70's. I feel a sense of honor and accomplishment to think I was part of what the fans loved. When the record was released as a 45rpm single, it was my song on one side, and "Solitaire" on the other, and when I was picked by Record World and Billboard to be the "A" side, and then it didn't happen that way, I felt no one would ever know my name or my song. It was a big disappointment, since it would have meant a whole different career opportunity for me. So all these years I have assumed people would hardly recognize my song. Now thanks to you and the generous fans, you are letting me know something different, something surprising, something so gratifying. You noticed. You can all hum the tune, and sing some of the words (except Tim who knows them all!). I feel "celebrated" by you all, a community of people I never knew existed. I am so grateful. I truly am. You are lifting me up, in ways you can't imagine.

Palma, it's an exciting time for us as well - because we're getting to re-live, through your wonderful information and posts, some of what truly happened both to you, and to Karen and Rich during a time when we would have loved to have been in your shoes. You have told us so much about this process of songwriting, which I am greatly interested in having done it myself, but not successfully like you have, and then for you to be able to sit back and KNOW THAT CARPENTERS RECORDED A SONG THAT YOU WROTE, and on the album (Rick's right) most of us here on the forum think was their best musical work, Horizon. Now I ask you, just how cool is that from our perspective? You've been quite generous in sharing your story with us, and now, we're getting to know you as a friend...a special treat, indeed. You're a lovely, giving person, and we appreciate you "For What You Are, For Simply Being You." (nice seque, eh?) What I'm trying to say is, we're all happy to share, and we appreciate your sharing, as well. Thanks!!! Tim

Hi Beth. Computer has been down for awhile, but wanted to thank you for your note on the thread. Remember, you never know when God will heal you so don't give up, and never question why you are still here. HE always has a plan, and it's always good! Have a story of my own along those lines, so I can say this with authority! Hi to all out there, too, and hope you are all having great surprises in 2006 so far!

Hi Tim and all my friends. The "thread" has been pretty "thin," no?? Everyone must be so busy with the details of 2006, not too much time for internet chat here at the fansite! Tim, I wanted to tell you I sent you a Valentine's gift...the BROKEN CUP C.D. got mailed today right to you in MO. You should get it very soon, and I want to thank you for your beautiful note (and notepaper) and your lovely words to me. I will anxiously await your impressions. My heart is all over that "love letter" to God, and I hope it brings you lots of healing and inspiration. Happy Valentine's Day to all of you; wishing you the love of someone special, and the love of God. The second one is ALWAYS guaranteed! Hugs, Palma

Hi Beth...sorry you are not at the top of the health pile at this moment! I know how it feels to climb that mountain every day, not knowing if it will ever change. But it can! One day, you may never think about it again, really. God can heal everything and everyone, but the timing is up to Him. By the way, thought your graphics were great! How do you DO that stuff, you guys??? It makes the whole site so colorful and amusing. Hi again to Tim, too! Thanks for answering me on the thread! See, the thread is rolling off the spool again! See you all very soon! Palma
