I told you I wasn't done yet making posts about our recent private meeting with Richard Carpenter. Of course, I had to save the best for last! Here we are with Richard at his "Yesterday Once More" car collection warehouse in Thousand Oaks, California on April 22. Towards the end of our meeting Richard signed one of my prized pieces of Carpenters memorabilia. I also gifted him a limited edition print of my "Karen Carpenter & Miss Piggy" watercolor painting (there's also a copy in the Carpenters memorabilia display case at the Downey Library)...and he loved it! I have to admit that I was a little bit nervous to find out if he would like my rendition of his beloved sister. Ned and I took a photo with Richard and then like that, our meeting (over two hours) with the legend was over. We have so many wonderful memories from that day and once again, a HUGE THANK YOU to our dear friend Erin Gatlin for making this meeting happen!!!

Richard is such a kind man to give of his time. He was so proud. Good to see.

The Carpenter's still continuing to touch so many lives.

What a treasure...my birthday was APRIL 21ST. The Carpenters were the soundtrack of my life.

@SallyOlsonCarpentersLegacy 2 месяца назад

Happy belated birthday! And the Carpenters anniversary of signing with A&M Records is April 22, so extra special that we got to meet Richard that day. The Carpenters’ music is THE BEST, in my opinion. ☺️

What a beautiful moment, thank you for sharing it. It has always been my dream to meet the man who's brought so much beauty to my life and you just lived it for me. And such a kind, caring, and gracious person as well (and always has been). Only someone with such a beautiful soul could have made the music that he did.

That chuckle of recognition from Richard, followed by "I'll take care of it" almost brought me to tears... so humble and poignant... Congratulations, Sally and Ned. God bless from Canada... (BTW, Sally, your watercolor portrait of KC is superb!...)

Yes, it certainly was a poignant moment and so happy to have caught it on film. Thank you for your kind words and pleased that you like my artwork. 😊

And maybe one day, a comnentary by Richard, of the warehouse. And/ Or a tour, a few times each year. Like Easter or Christmas break. With Richard's voice on a recording. Or, a Tv screen with Richard talking, live or recorded, before a tour. Welcoming fans and car enthusiasts. Great, that you made a big poster of the album cover. Signed, on The Carpenters A &M signing anniversary. And your water colors are amazing, with your own style. -Mike

@eringatlin4793 2 месяца назад

That's a great idea. He absolutely loves talking cars. The problem is, even I get nervous, all the times I've been in there, because sometimes people get too close to the cars. I tell people to watch their zippers on their jackets, zippers on long shorts, purses, etc. I would hate to be the one to scratch one of those beauties.

@MikC-hu6ld Месяц назад

@@eringatlin4793 I think the best way is to have posts and rope, like movie theaters have. Near a car. Then, mark the walkway on the floor, with colored blue tape. Tape pointing the way. Showing which way to walk. .Easy to see, on the floor. Yes, that's why a video presentation is good. People can hear about a car, then see it. Without touching it. Talking about a car helps. Otherwise, everyone will want to get as close as they can. A TV or TV's at a few spots on the floor can be set-up with Wi-Fi. Or, whatever works for presentation. For a live presentation, from anywhere. Or, recorded. So the speaker can be there or not, live. Or, have several TV's talking about a few cars at-a-time. Then, walking on to see the next cars. -Mike

@SallyOlsonCarpentersLegacy Месяц назад

Thanks, Mike! That's a great idea. In regards to the poster of the album cover, I didn't have it made. It's an original display piece from a record store in Ohio back in the early 70s that I acquired in 2016 or so. But yes, it was a very serendipitous event to have it signed on the 55th anniversary of the Carpenters signing with A&M Records. Thank you so much for your kind words about my watercolor painting. I have a fine arts background plan to do more Carpenters-themed artwork when I have the time. My two loves in life (other than Ned and our chihuahua Lola) have always been singing and art. 😍

What a wonderful finale & that picture of Richard & Karen is simply stunning. I have this album myself & Karen looked beautiful. It was in their heyday when the 70's music was special & the Carpenter's added their unique sound to it. Long live their timeless songs.❤

Rwally enjoyed your videos. Im in my mid 40's and have been a Carpenters fan since i was about 14. I was captivated in school hearing their song Top of the World and its beautiful melody. Their Voice of the Heart album is a real tearjerker, especially Now and Look to your dreams. I play piano myself and love all the major 7th's and Richard's frequent modulations. He is a wonderful all round musician. I have managed to get a ticket to one of the 'Evening with Richard Carpenter' shows that he's doing in the UK. I'm from Liverpool but now live on the Scottish Isle of Lewis. I first came here as a teenager in holiday, right at the time i was getting into the Carpenters and also i became a huge fan of Petula Ckark at the same time. So for me the Carpenters music also evokes happy memories of holidays in a beautiful part of Scotland, where i now live. Really looking forward to seeing Richard when he comes over here in Sept. God bless you

@devydu Месяц назад

Wow, Sally! The final scene of you, Ned and the one & only Richard Carpenter, holding your lovely watercolor print of his sister Karen & Miss Piggy must be the highlight of your life! The spirit of Karen is definitely in that painting. What a very special day for you & Ned! Next big event will be when Richard attends your “Carpenters Legacy” performance in Vegas! That will definitely be a déjà vu experience for Richard and he will be so impressed! Thank you, Sally & Ned, for sharing this incredible day with us!

@SallyOlsonCarpentersLegacy Месяц назад

Yes, this was definitely a defining moment in my life and I will always carry these memories close to my heart. Hopefully we will be seeing Richard again. Thank you for your kind words about my painting. I was so pleased that Richard liked it. Yes, we sure hope that Richard will be able to see our show sometime in Las Vegas or perhaps when we're touring in SoCal. You never know! 😉

Thank you so much. Yes, I was a little nervous wondering whether or not Richard would like the painting. I was very relieved to see his happy and nostalgic reaction when it was presented to him. I'm assuming that your RU-vid channel image is your own artwork? Very nice!

Sally how can I get some CD sleeves signed by Richard? Is there a P.O. Box or something?

I honestly don't know of an address where you could send your CD sleeves. I recently heard that Richard is no longer accepting items by mail to autograph. However, you could send an inquiry through his official website to find out. www.carpentersofficial.com
