Also enjoyed the Fabio Frizzi one - good to hear these guys are still loving & enjoying the music themselves many decades after they began.
The Q&A interview format means you can dip in and out quite nicely when you have a few minutes to kill.
Thanks to everyone that bought the book and to those of you sharing your comments about it here. I'm so glad you guys are enjoying it. I'm also glad the Frizzi interview is holding up for some of you. Given the nature in which it was done, I was very afraid that it really wouldn't hold up against the other, more in-depth, interviews. I'm glad people like that one. This is not the first positive thing I read about that specific interview. So I am relieved.
Regarding Carpenter's interview...I got VERY lucky with timing. I actually did 2 interviews with him. The first was about 6 months before he even announced the Lost Themes album. So I caught him at a time when not too many people asked him about his music. So he was open to it and for the most part, they weren't questions that he'd answered a million times before, etc. To be honest though, we did have much more fun doing the interview than I had anticipated. I think he genuinely had a good time. We laughed, etc...some of it didn't make it into the book, because it was not relevant to the topic and wouldn't really translate to print, etc. Just funny/fun little moments of conversation...which I will cherish forever. I was very intimidated to do that one, but it was great. The 2nd interview was done just before Lost Themes came out and by then he had talked quite a bit about his music for various magazines, blogs and websites.
Just a little behind the scenes info...
Thanks,
Blake
