Rick, I checked out Suzanne's site and she does pay wonderful tribute to Karen. Thanks for the link.

I am from Laughlin, Nevada. Strinking coincidence? Anyway, I looked at her site and she's an east coaster. Awww man. I wish she'd come here to Vegas.
Does anybody know of any Karen tribute players in the Las Vegas area? PLEASE LET ME KNOW- from a Karen fan dying to find out!
Speaking of players, I think I'm going to audition for Wheel of Fortune next week as the wheelmobile comes to Las Vegas.

;Dchecked out the site and Suzanne does a wonderful tribute to Karen. I've listened to Jenny Sinclaire also, and she's great also.
Good luck Mariah for getting on Wh. of fortune. That's always a fun show to watch. Pat Sajak is really funny too.

Yes, Mariah please do let us know if you make it on and let us know when the show will be aired. This is my favorite game show.

Hey Mariah!! I wish you the best
of luck! I am sure you will make
it and win tons of money!!!
I listened to Susannez tribute
and I think she sounds a lot
like Ann Murray but not Karen.
There was just something so deep
and haunting about Karens voice.
I would have loved to heard Karen
singing Shadows In The Moonlight.

I agree with you on this Jim, Suzanne does sound like Anne somewhat. Karen is very hard to replicate. Karen had something extra in her voice that just can not be captured even by the best impersonator. All the impersonators out there fall short of the authenticity, sincerity and purity in Karen's voice.

Sorry guys, I didn't get selected at the audition for Wheel of Fortune, but at least my best friend Dixie and I attended and we both had a blast up there, and brought home Wheel of Fortune pens.
There was a Jeopardy question that was Carpenters related. "The other act to cover this Marvelettes' song other than the Beatles to have made it to no.1 in the 70's" and the players didn't answer it in time.
I guess in a way, my book, "Awakening From Broken Dreams", now available at iuniverse.com, is also Carpenters-related as its lead character names himself Karen when he transitions from being a boy to being a girl. I'm not going to call this book a Karen Tribute per se, but the lead character of the book chooses his female name in honor of Karen Carpenter. And the dean of the school's name is Mr. Guder, and he is just as big as a (donkey)-hole as the real life one that Richard and John wrote about.
