Hey Guys the other day when I was searching for the Readers CD set, I ran into a site that sells music and they claim to have a DVD with 22 hits of the Carpenters but they did not say which songs.I am going to post the link so you can check it out. www.the dragons den.com.au /DVD_s/music/music.html |

I should have double checked the
link I posted. I will have to back
track on my search and get back to
all of you. The site does exist so
stand by.

Hi Jim  How's things going? I tried the link you posted, but it doesn't work. Is there a name for the website, so I can do a google search? I bought a DVD from Brazil and it has all the same songs that are on the Gold DVD, just a different cover. I don't think there's anything new out, if there were it would have most certainly been released in the U.S. or Japan first. |

I sent Rick some information about
the site that claims to have a new
DVD. I am hoping he can find a way
to reach the site directly. I spent
an hour trying to find the site
again. The DVD is titled The Untolled Story Of The Carpenters.
Never seen before. 100min. 30$
It is probably a bootleg but it
sounded exciting at the time.
Hey Dave as of this moment you and
I both have 89 posts! It must have
something to do with the Yinz Guys
Syndrome. Have you played any of
Karens solo work yet? The next time
I visit my parents in Morgantown
I am going to tune into your radio
station.

Wow Dave! I had no idea that you
had written a story about Karen,
inspired by the movie Frequency.
I was quite moved and impressed
by your writing skill.
I posted a response with some information I hope you find interesting.
I found your lyrics equally as moving as the story. I was wondering if you had a melody to
go with them?

But the email returned to me with a response that the email address is no longer in service. so, I was unable to get any information on this DVD. It could possibly be a bootleg, maybe of a BBC program or the recent Japanese television biography. |

Hey Rick. Thanks for checking the
sites I sent you. I searched for
sites that could give me more info
but no luck! It would really be
great if RC would release a DVD
of a live concert or Music Music
Music.

Dave. I have some info about the
C's official web site. Maybe you
have already read this or it may
have just been sent to the person
who wrote to the site. The response
is rather long so I will present
the relevant details. We have added
nothing new to the site for a while. Richard has been very busy with the 5.1 project and his family
and the site is not at the top of
his prority list. We will resume
work on the site in the future.
From Becky Boxberger, personal
assistant to Richard Carpenter.
Hey! I am not going to make promises but I have a musical backround and would love to work
on a chord structure for your lyrics and send you some demos but
it takes me time to come up with
a good progression.
"Thanks for the flowers"? You are
one crazy guy. Humor is one of lifes greatests gifts. I loved
your Star Trek Voyager quote. I
have been a Trekie since the begining of time. I have been racking my brain for another great
quote. I just ordered NCC-NX01
from Polar Lights. Its 24" long!
Well, Yinz guys take care. Man I
really miss the Burgh.

You know I have listened to Karens
voice for so long, it has cut a
groove in my brain. Every song I
hear,as crazy it sounds, my mind
automaticaly recreates her tone
ressonance and inflection qualities
to the vocals. Its amazing how some
people can write lyrics but can't
woodshed a melody line. I have so
many melodies in my head but when
it comes to lyrics, blank screen!
After I read your story a few days
ago I found it fascinating that
many of us share a dream of havng
a way of warning Karen and Beth
actually did!! Thanks Beth for
being more than a fan and having
the awareness that only a close
freind could have for her. As much
as I loved her I was oblivious to
how bad things were becoming. Only
now when I watch the videos or see
pictures can I see what you saw.
Dave I have an interesting story
about Temporal Mechanics I would
like to share but I will post it
in the thread that began on the
subject.

In response to Dave and his remarks about Richard...I agree with you totally! However I have an idea of why I think he's that way. First off, Richard is serious about their music and everything about it. Let's face it, the Carpenters took a lot of needless flak about their music during their "hayday" and after many years of of "lamblasting" by the critics, I'm sure it began to take its toll. I saw a concert video recently of the C's in Australia in 1971 and Richard was very much of a different performer than he was in the later years. He smiled, moved to the music, made jokes, etc. I think that he is still very careful about any contact with the media. Just an idea...
