Here it is once again the most recent update of the website. this time there's a good amount of new stuff to look at and read. First up there is a new review of the album "Horizon" on the website's forum in the section "The Albums: Song By Song". We also have a brand new FAVORITE'S LIST PAGE which is contributed by website and froum regular roland Chayer, he chose his favorite television specials and live performances by the Carpenters. This month's OFF-TOPIC feature is on the classic Joni Mitchell album "Court and Spark. The SONG OF THE MONTH is "B'wana She No Home" from the 1977 album "Passage". Though the biggest feature on this month's update is Karen Carpenter: Behind The Scenes of the New York Solo Sessions. This month we feature an interview with a key player on karen's solo album and also a brief recalling of memories from another contributor to her album. In December or January I'll be publishing another interview from another key player on the album. It's great reading and I hope you enjoy it. You can see the update through the following link: www.carponline.bravepages.comOh and by the way November 16th will mark the two year anniversary of the website...  |

 Thanks for the Liberty Devitto interview, great job.
There's a scary part at one time, but, that's not too surprising... : Karen did all her own backround vocals. She was a perfectionist in the studio. On "Remember When Lovin Took All Night: she hyperventilated and passed out while doing the backround vocals. I like the Rob Mounsey comments too.
The water reflection is pretty cool, on Karen's pic. ('would be interesting to see that effect on some other great pics).
..., and I really hope that my Carpenters friends will like my Top 10 VHS list.

I loved that interview with Liberty, such great and interesting reading.
Roland, your list was really interesting. Thanks for making it for us to read. It is always interesting and fun to read what songs and albums other fans like.

Rick! Your Website would come in
at #1 as most informative if a vote
was taken. I have learned so many
interestings facts from your research. Your love for the Carpenters and your appreciation
of there talents is reflected in
all of your work.

Hey Roland! You did an outstanding
job on your favorites list! It
puts mine to shame. At the time
I was working on mine I managed
to lose my original draft during
all of the chaos in preperation
for the hurricane. I remember
trying to get all of my information
sent while the wind was howling,
the lights were flickering and
as soon as I hit send button we lost power for the next 5 days.
Your Bio is also great. You are
lucky to have so many talents.
I am sorry to hear about MS. I
also live with chronic medical
disorder and I can relate to the
frustration it must bring you.
Never lose hope! I have a close
friend with MS and I keep on top
of medical research and they are
closing in on fully understanding
the nature of many chronic disorders.
I would love to hear more about
your composition and arranging
techniques sometime.
JIM

^^ Hey Rick, I got an email from Liberty DeVitto today - I'd written to him to thank him for the interview he gave you - how you'd shared it with us, etc. His reply was "Hey Tim - wish I had a time machine, I'd go back and do it all over again." Thought I'd share that little tidbit. Best! Tim |
