In our hearts, we are all having a virtual, online BIG PARTY to celebrate Tim's victory! What DIVINE timing I say! A renewed SINGING CAREER and a NEW JOB in the same few days...I am certain you deserve every bit of "luck" you are now having. Your devotion to your family and your kindness are, I am sure, money in the bank of life. Dividends coming, Tim...NOW.
So great to hear back from you, Dave, and HAPPY ENGINEER'S WEEK...(who knew???) Do we send flowers or software?
Beth, write more to us. Tell us how you are feeling...good days, bad days, I know the routine. But so glad you are persisting. Keep doing the best you can, and always have hope for renewed health. Today, I will say special prayers for you for healing. God is amazing, you know. He hasn't forgotten you, never will.
Oh, so happy to see a posting from you, Rick! Your members are "playing" out here on the playground you so generously provide. Glad to have your words, California Label. We have been missing you. I will pray today for you for renewed strength, and hope for all your life's desires. You are a rare individual, as we all know.
Love To All, Palma

"So great to hear back from you, Dave, and HAPPY ENGINEER'S WEEK...(who knew???) Do we send flowers or software?"
LOL! Heavens, I'm in tears, really, I can't decide. I might choose a BlackBerry, but my wife got me one of those for our 25th in 2004. Reads said that after two weeks I'd want to throw it away, but it's way too handy. Besides, when I go on the road there's nothing like passing the time in my hotel room reading The Carpenters Online. Beth, would you believe that 35 years ago, I chose radio broadcasting as my life's work? I've yet to set foot in the studio, and put the headphones on, but in all honesty I must say that the life God has given me is better. Way better. And much more fun. I never, ever considered being involved with space, let alone NASA. But, life is sometimes stranger than fiction, and so for the past three years my life has been one "Big Fish"-type story. Who knows, maybe someday someone will think that it's interesting enough to make a movie of it. To actually be able to contribute something worthwhile on that level still knocks me out. Power plants and Space Shuttles are two completely different worlds, you'd think. The truth is that they use many of the same parts, and principles. But there is no substitute for experience, at any level. Or a good memory...

Hi Palma et all: I wrote to Richard and specifically asked about Box Office Music King....I asked him out of all the songs you sent him, what others, if any, he and Karen actually recorded - here is the response I got back.... Hi Tim, Richard responds to your questions about "Box Office Movie King" written by Palma Pascale: We made a demo of this, however, in the end we never recorded it. What caught my ear about it was the hook; it's a pretty good track. This was the only other song by Palma that we worked with. So there you have it. He states: WE MADE A DEMO OF THIS.....Right from his own fingers....the "hook" is what caught his ear....Of course, I'm way anxious to hear it. So, does that mean that they actually DID record it? I would think they recorded something of it, if they actually made a demo of it?? Maybe it IS in the vault somewhere, afterall.....at least a piece of it..... Enigma - thanks for your kind words....I appreciate you, and enjoy keeping up with you and all via this website. Thought you'd all like to know. Tim

This is so incredible. Thank you my friend, Tim, for this amazing piece of news. You have answered a question for me I have wondered about for years: Did Karen ever do a sketch of this song in her key with Richard playing? How did you get thru to Richard and get an answer so quickly??? It must be the power of the FANS. And you are an "UBER FAN" to have accomplished this. What a gift to me. Imagine what a gift it would be to all of us, if Richard ever graced us with actually hearing this demo.
Carponline Fans, you are all in this with me. I know you can understand how gratified I must feel to know this exists. I thank Richard for the compliments about the "hook"- every great song must have a melody you can recall immediately.( I'd like to think ALL my songs have that!) I am flattered that he remembers the song so well after all this time.
I was in the recording studio last night with Fred, reordering and remastering the two pop CD's, "IN AND OUT OF LOVE," and "I'LL LEAVE YOU THE MUSIC." I put my uptempo, new millenium version of "LOVE ME FOR WHAT I AM" on the "I'LL LEAVE YOU THE MUSIC" CD, in the number 2 position, just so Tim wouldn't have to wait too long to get to that track when his CD arrives in the mail.
Thanks, Beth, for chiming in with your encouragement about the news! I would SO love to hear the demo, but who knows if Richard would do that for us. I certainly know what it would mean to me. Who knows what other great surprises are in the universe?
Thank you, Rick, for all of this, and again, Tim, you are a continued inspiration to this New York chick! Love, Palma

Hi Beth. Just visiting the thread for a moment! Reread your comments, and realize once again, you are paying me a wonderful compliment. Thank you, Beth.
If you ever get time, I would love to get a personal email from you at palmacarponline@yahoo in the hopes you can tell me more about yourself.( Sorry, gang, just girl-talk and we might not want everyone to read the details!)
I enjoy the mail I get thru this site, and thank Tim and Dave for some heartwarming messages, and fascinating details of their lives. I welcome any and all communication.
Tonight, I know we have all heard the news about beautiful Dana Reeve, who joined her husband and left us at such a young age. She loved to sing and act. Not too many of us got to hear her do that. Her life came to stand for such courage . I liked what Maya Angelou said:'Most people marry OTHER peoples' lifemates. Dana and Chris didn't. They found and married their true soulmates."
Isn't THAT true. I can only wish the same for myself and for all of you.
Love To All, Palma

Oh, my friends, what a lovely surprise was waiting for me on the thread when I checked in today! Imagine, such love and sweet condolences from my new friends. I am going to share your messages with my family, particularly my cousin Lil, who took care of her father (my uncle) in the last days, in her own home. We are all doing well, and we had alot of time to understand that his age (88) was remarkable, and his desire to not remain alive if he wasn't able to enjoy his pursuits was brave and honorable, so we were ready. It was only hard to see him get so thin, and not enjoy food and even the scratch off lottery tickets that he loved.
He loved to tinker with the arts, including picking out tunes on the piano. He insisted his way was best, so even when I would suggest a better chord or a different note, he would wave me away, and do it his OWN way. He wrote a song I affectionately called "IGGY's WALTZ"- it had one extra measure which "threw" off the feel of the 8 bar pattern...it was a 9 bar pattern. I pointed this out. He didn't care. Thus was born the unique waltz I can play after all these years. Just like him, it was one of a kind.
Thank you for your beautiful words, all of you, and I am looking forward to writing Part 4 of my interview for you very soon. I will tell you ahead of time, it will kind of be more about me and all the things that have happened in the music business. I wish it could have more about the Carpenters in it, as I know that is why we are all here at this site, but unfortunately, she was gone from all our lives at that point. Or is she really? Now that I see all this good that has come from Richard and Karen, I can't help but think she is waving a loving hand at us all.
Thank you and catch all the love I send to you with all my heart.
Palma
