Palma's Part Three: Discussion...

[Dave]

Thank you, Palma, for once again sharing your fascinating insights and experiences with the Carpenters. Knowing your sense of humor as I believe I do, it was quite the emotional roller-coaster ride. I can understand how it feels when you see your work being shown on a world stage, and it can be quite overwhelming sometimes. I was going to be a DJ 35 years ago, but I learned about the business and headed off in a much more satisfying direction. None of that "town to town, up and down the dial" for me. It helped your career, you have some wonderful mementos, and we are blessed to have you share them with us. It's not too often that you know someone who's only one person removed.
I'm looking forward to Part IV, and the next Saturday Night Basement Party!
Go Steelers!
It's nice these days to live in Pittsburgh...

Thank you Palma very much. I have really enjoyed reading your series. I also thank you for answering our questions. It's really been a pleasure getting to know you over these past 2 and a half months.

I also look forward to the next Basement Party. It is in the works - but not quite to sure when it will happen. My schedule has been sorta crazy the last few days.

I'd like to add my "thanks" to you too, Palma. Your writing style is wonderful. It brought emotions up from everywhere. Being a musician myself, I could only imagine the thrill of hearing my own work on an album of someone with the status and musicianship of Carpenters for the first time. Wow, what an absolute high that must have been. Yet, there were amazing lows as well, right? It all sounds incredible, and we certainly appreciate you sharing those feelings and thoughts with us. Thanks a million times over.
