 It's here the November 2006 Carpenters Online update.
This update includes news about The Carpenters Online on MySpace and Rick Henry's MySpace profile also.
The Featured Song Of The Month is "Now" from the 1983 release "Voice Of The Heart".
The Off-Topic artist is the Grammy Award winning John Legend.
Most exciting is the brand new original Carpenters Online interview with Randy Schmidt. Randy compiled and edited the popular book "Yesterday Once More: Memories of the Carpenters and Their Music". |

 The November update looks FAB!  THE CARPENTERS ONLINE ... ... opens with a familiar picture that was a topic of much discussion: K&R listening to a record together. ******************************************************* *******************************************************  Rick's interview is with Randy Schmidt. Randy is the editor of the book titled "Yesterday Once More: Memories of the Carpenters and Their Music". The conversation between Randy and Rick is extensive, warm and personal. I was surprised to find that Randy came aboard the Carpenters fan ship as recently as the Karen Carpenter TV movie days. GREAT JOB with this interview, RICK!!!

Thank you Wisejester7 for taking the time to do a recap of the Update.
Randy was a pleasure to work with. He spent a good amount of time thinking about his answers and gave us a good thorough answers to the questions posed.
I plan on staying touch with him - to quite possibly work on other projects.
Thank you Randy for your time and effort. |

Hi Rick,
Wow! What an amazing update! Your interview with Randy Schmidt is particularly outstanding. I had the pleasure of discovering Randy's Newville Avenue Mailing List/Carpenters website before it disbanded in 1999. It was an expansive, authoritative source of information, anecdotes and opinions on our favorite duo, It even got me flying down to Cal State Long Beach for one of Richard's memorable concerts — something which I don't typically do so spontaneously on short notice.
Rick, I think both you and Randy are great torch bearers in enlightening the world with your internet presence, creating a sense of community, if not a virtual family (almost "dysfunctional" — LOL) around our dynamic duo.

Sorry to check in so late on this....been very busy helping a friend....see "Tim's Musings" for information about Palma and her upcoming surgery, etc. Lots going on. Rick, you've outdone yourself, and I didn't think that was possible, as your work, your dedication and your love of everything Carpenters has always been way above and beyond. KUDOS on an excellent update this time around. I, too, met Randy Schmidt many years ago when he had a magnificent website that was just awesome. I communicated with him many times, and it was Randy who provided me with driving directions to the Newville House two years ago when Ann and I went on our Downey adventure. Randy is a gentleman, and a truly good, enjoyable person and friend. Your interview with him, Rick, was warm, informative, and entertaining. Thanks for everything you do, and continue to do on behalf of all of us here at Carpenters Online, my home-away-from-home. Always my best to all, Tim
