Briefly as I am running out of time and have to leave work .....Attended Carpenters Center TOTW 2 Auction / Dinner and Richard 's Benefit Live Performance ....just a great occasion and wonderful atmosphere  Richard and Friends as billed for the evening started with a comedian , Richard had met on a cruise vacation ...very funny 10 minutes.... Richard opened with Yesterday Once More ....with a lead vocal performance by himself on piano ...rather a surprise as Richard did not perform any Instrumentals that evening ...  Track Listing : YOM I Need To Be In Love -Richard Lead Vocal ..!! This Time Of The Year ( new song -recorded for upcoming Christmas set) From This Moment On -Traci Tatum Carpenter Lead Vocal ....another big surprise ..... All I Want Is You -Colin Paul Carpenter Lead Vocal I'd Have Baked A Cake -Colin Paul Capenter Lead Vocal -Both children gave assured , fun performances ....the talent continues .....  Season Of Wonder (Another new Christmas song ) Top Of The World ( Richard / Audience Finale ) New songs are wonderful -really hope Richard will complete this overdue album by July and finally release Autumn 2004 for all the fans Peter....Roll On TOTW 2005 / 2006 /2007 .....  |

Hi Peter,
Thank you so much for that update. I'd love to see that on a dvd or even hear the new Christmas songs. I'm not surprised that his children are carrying on the musical talent. That's so great.
What a great visit that was for you!

Thanks for the report on the Top of the World event. I suspected that Richard's kids would be following in their talented Dad and Aunt's footsteps. I can't help wondering if his daughter who performed sounded anything like her Aunt Karen? I was listening to an "oldies" station the other day when all at once there was a pause between songs and I heard THAT voice, "Talking to myself and feeling old..." It nearly sent a chill through me. Karen's voice was so distinctive and there isn't another one like it.

Hi Peteruk  . Thanks so much for the information on the TOTW 2 concert. I'm happy to hear his children are following in his and Karen's footsteps. How old would you say the two children who performed are? How would you describe their voices? |

Hi Sammy, Traci is Richard & Mary's 2nd child and will be 15 this summer Colin Paul will be 10 -also this summer Colin Paul has obviously a child's high voice -but with good diction and strong lungs -he really loves upbeat , fun songs...interesting to see how his voice develops and will this be as good when he a young man of 16 /17/18 ? Traci has a mid range voice -steady vocals and occasionally drops lower that reminds you of ....our favourite singer .....again great to see whether she wants to continue singing , working with siblings and Richard on some future tracks and longer term -an album ?? Traci does not perform very often ....but loves to sing Carpenters favourites around the house  Peter ....Carpenters Family Group Ahead ??..... |
