The third annual Top of the World concert at the Carpenter Center was a great success. Thousands of dollars were raised for music education in the schools.
For those of us looking for Richard to perform, we were disapointed. This is my third "TOTW" show and it featured the least musical involvement from Richard. As usual, he was a gracious host and spent time with everyone who asked. Even his children posed for pictures from Carpenter fans.
However, his performance was short and strictly family. Richard performed four tunes.
1/ "Ain't you glad you're you" with Collin Carpenter
2/ Put on a happy face with Mindy Carpenter
3/ Rainy days & Mondays with Tracy Carpenter
4/ Top of the world sing a long with the entire family.
No new Carpenter news, no solo performance by Richard. And this year, there was no backup band. Only Richard at the piano.
While it's always great to see and hear Richard, I really long for a Richard performance of his music. He is so talented and a great solo performer, I'd love to see him in a cabaret format. He has so much to share.
The Carpenter center continues to assist local schools, and Richard is a major part. "TOTW" volume 4 is already set for 2006.
