I'm disappointed in this ^^ I specifically asked if someone could at least give props to Paul Grein about how he championed for the Carpenters in all his articles in Billboard...many of which I posted here on the forum for everyone to read. I think it would have made him feel great that we were still reading these articles after all these years and more importantly that what he did made a difference in keeping the Carpenters in the spotlight in music magazines back then. It would have only taken a moment to mention since he was on the panel.
Rick, time constraints were the overriding deal here. So many questions, so little time....The Chuck Findley's flugelhorn solo that Chis May set up was torpedoed by the total lack of time... I personally put in a direct question to Randy Schmidt (before the event, at the request of the organizers) if he would do a "screenplay" to a big budget Karen biopic...nary a word!! This panel could've been adressing topics from now until Christmas...There just was not enough time.
