"Carpenters: The Musical Legacy" — An Evening with Richard Carpenter (720p)

On Saturday, April 27, 2024, I was joined by friend and mentor, Richard Carpenter, to discuss our recently published book (coauthored with Mike Cidoni Lennox, who was unable to attend the discussion) as part of the closing festivities for the Carpenters 55th Anniversary Celebration held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Downey, CA. This was followed by a formal proclamation and presentation to Richard by the mayor of the city of Downey, Mario Trujillo, as well as a plaque dedication, presented by Carpenters fan Erin Gatlin on behalf of fans from around the globe. Incidentally, Richard's appearance was kept a surprise until we walked out on stage, making this a most memorable evening. Videography by Chip Cogswell.
