Wedding songs I can always count on

[kennyv]

2 nights ago, I was invited over to the wedding to sing for the couple at The Conrad Hotel, Bangkok. There I was fronting the stage with 4-piece saxophone, bass, piano & violin....crooning a lovely "we've only just begun" while the couple took a long walk on stage to cut the cake. After the cake cutting ceremony, I ended with another favorite "as time goes by". I couldn't believe my ears but there was a loud applause at the end of each song, the bride even phoned me after the party to say thanks. Thanks Richard & Karen, it wouldn't be a wedding without the Carpenters.

I'm glad that we had KC and RC.

An ideal Carpenters project / release would have been :

Wedding Songs -16/18 track album

Released in 1980 with remastered sound , some alternative versions of Carpenters classics such as CTY , WOJB , FAWK and several new tracks -all promoted by A&M TV / media campaign , several selected TV appearances and video / short films marketing

The Wedding Song -shorter more radio / single friendly version and several other new tracks prior to the planned full new album would have highlighted Carpenters return after their enforced break and prepared fans for future releases

Always surprised that Richard , Carpenters associates & A&M Execs did not release either a themed collection as above or a singles compilation to make all aware of Carpenters return to active status
