'Chasin' After Rainbows I May Never Find Again'

Of course we all know there is no chance for rainbows, nevertheless we keep trying. So we met in London again.. Filmed in Syon Park, London, 53 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM8Huok8jGI&list=RDXM8Huok8jGI&start_radio= I was in the same place in August 2018. This time it was a very short stay, I came on Tuesday (Sep 8), left on Thursday (Sep 10). Fans were supposed to meet up on September 9th, to take a part, or better say witness the unveling of David Cassidy's Stone in Camden, in London. As we all know, at the very last moment the event was cancelled again. Some fans from afar didn't stand a chance to call off planes, trains or hotels without money loss.  So some decided to come. From abroad, like me from Poland, or Carolyn (the US) or Janet (Germany), or like Maya who lives rather far from London (Wales). And of course Sharron came and some fans and good  friends from our Great Britain group. Filmed in Clapham Common, London, 41 years ago https://www.yout...

In My Defence / Dave Clark, David Soames and Jeff Daniels

Completely by chance, yesterday night I watched a documentary from 2012, called 'Freddie Mercury : The Great Pretender'. It was on our TV. And actually very interesting, because a lot was said about Freedie Mercury's attempt to forge a solo career. There were interviews with Montserrat Caballe (1933 - 2018), some unknown for me footage, and never heard demos with Rod Stewart and Michael Jackson.  We all know how great performer Freddie was, I always get chills watching Queen at Live Aid in 1985, but he was also a great musician. Anyway at one moment a video of Freddy in the familiar decorations appeared. Freddie on stage at the Dominion Theatre, in Time. At the first moment I thought it was David Cassidy, it was so unexpected, and I know DC's pics and 'Time' footage with him so well.. Of course Freddie Mercury didn't perform in 'Time'. He recorded 2 songs for 'Time' concept album, and the video for the title song was made on the stage at the ...

Together We're Better / Tony Romeo, Ken Jacobson

-
Image
From 'The Partridge Family Notebook' album, released in November 1972, the first by The Partridge Family not to reach the Top 40. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ieKGyHir3U&list=RD_ieKGyHir3U&start_radio=1 So charming and uplifting, makes me think about sunny, innocent days of my childhood. Fun and joy. Tony Romeo's one more masterpiece. I've chosen this song for today's blog not because I feel under the weather or sad, but I thought about it yesterday when I read that the event on 9th September was postponed again. That again David Cassidy would not get his so deserved stone. It's not only deserved but also founded by fans. And it was a lot of money.  Maybe one more song from Notebook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfKv4VK_Itk&list=RDlfKv4VK_Itk&start_radio=1 I decided to go to London for 9 September ceremony about a month ago. And believe me it wasn't an easy decision, I have a lot of responsibilities and some health problems.  From the s...

Encarni, my FB friend and a fellow fan twice contributed to my blog. The first time a few years ago and hers is one of the most popular entry of my blog. Here is the link to it. https://talkingaboutdavid.blogspot.com/2021/11/a-letter-to-davidencarni.html So sincere, emotional and full of love. And now, after 5 years, we've got one more entry written by Encarni, again personal, very sincere and frst of all Encarni is not afraid to share her opinion on AI and David Cassidy,  and a discussion about it it's something we can't avoid. Thank you Encarni, your entry is a food for thought for me. And of course s big hug and thank you. "Hello, I'm Encarni, and I want to thank Weronika for this opportunity to express myself on her blog. A few years ago, she published a letter I wrote to David.As I mentioned in that letter, David helped me, just as he did for so many of us, to get through a difficult stage of my life during my teenage years. Later, once I had Internet access a...

'David Cassidy The Face That Launched A Million Hearts'

-
Image
This is not the only time that this famous line (orignally it was about Helen of Troy and a thousand ships) was used to describe the impact of young David Cassidy's beauty. It's the title of the article published 53 years ago, on Hit! Magazine, in the UK.. The recent update on The Official Website of David Cassdy. A song first. And in August I celebrate Sound Magazine, this time even more, because it was exactly 55 years ago when this masterpiece was released, in August 1971, before the start of the 2nd season of the show. The Partridge Family's Sgt Pepper, the best album in its too short a career. In the fall of 1971, Sound Magazine peaked at # 9 on Billboard chart. 11 songs, total length of pure magic, 32:58. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRlUcMrtiT0&list=RDDRlUcMrtiT0&start_radio=1   1.6 million views this video. Not bad. "The Face That Launched A Million Hearts'. The most amazing fact is  that after 53 years some fans, now very middle aged, write exac...

'He Had The Biggest Heart'

-
Image
Kim Carnes said this about David Cassidy for 'Rolling Stone' on November 22, 2017. And that he had the best laugh and the best smile. But this 'biggest heart' has stuck with me.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giMh_pBr-c0&list=RDgiMh_pBr-c0&start_radio=1 Only David and his warm, young voice made all those songs so special, he made us happy, and we still smile listening to many of Partridge Family's hits. Of course I know he was first of all an actor, I know that most of the stories fans could read in teen magazines were made up, that David Cassidy was a sophisticated, complex man, who knew very well how to use his charm. But he was kind and really cared for his fans, he had good heart, and it was something his fans always knew.  My friend Doreen Walker wrote once an entry for me, called 'David Cassidy Human Being' and we can read in it, "There is a side to David that everyone should follow and that is being kind and compassionate to other no ma...

One Night Stand /Wes Farrell and Paul Anka

or seeing David Cassidy in concert. Fascinaitng topic of conversation, and a few days ago Penelope Roda left a comment under my post on DC's appearance at the famous Pine Knob Music Theatre in Detroit. Many famous musicians performed there and David was the first, on June 25, 1972. Tickets were only availabe by mail. It looks so complicated now,  getting a ticket was available by only mail check or money order with a stamped self-addressed envelope to a temporary ticket office.  We are so lucky to have a short video of this iconic concert,  David's performance there is still remembered,  https://www.davidcassidy.com/fansite/ConcertPages/1972June25video.html So Penelope wrote, "It's amazing how easy it was to get access to David concerts then and I guess when he was in older years as well". She also asked how long did the concert usually last. During his long career David Cassidy played over 600 concerts. He played stadiums, the most famous concert venues in the US...
