 I like this song very much..DC was 23 when he sang this, and at the time he could have written a very impressive book on that subject. Having a good time..

Las Vegas , Nevada , The Entertainment Capital Of The World, one of the most amazing and unusal place I have ever seen in my life. A real monument of humans' power nad strong will.. Just to think about building a city in such place. The journey itself  to it from LA is  exciting..The city was founded in 1905 on the floor of the Mojave Desert and is surronded by mountain ranges on all sides..Amazing mountains..Nevada is the third seismically active state in the U.S. and the climate is subtropical hot desert. In July the average temperature is 40C..Enough..I could write about it...a lot.

In TPF's pilot made in December1969, the first family's show was to be in Las Vegas, and the pilot was actually filmed there. David Cassidy wrote in his autobiography that it was the first time he was in LV, but I read somewhere, that he was taken by Jack and Shirley there in the 60s ,for Frank Sinatra's show..Anyway in December 1969, David was 19, he was a working actor, rented a house (with Sam), had his own car and money, but of course they wouldn't let him in the casinos.. he was underage, and looked like one..So ..let's jump on the bus with TPF..I'm On The Road..free and easy..travelling..

In 1971 and 1972 David Cassidy played concerts just everywhere in the U.S., also in Saratoga Springs and Albuquereque, but not in Las Vegas..and his concerts weren't popular in LA too, his Hollywood Bowl concert on August 4th, 1972 was cancelled, because not enough tickets had been sold...but I think he visited Las Vegas from time to time, after all is only about 430 km from LA. And he got married there , Kay Lenz , on April 3rd, 1977. There is this famous pic , DC and Shaun, both so beautiful, David..rather tired..The marriage was written about, also that the ceremony was delayed because DC forgot the marriage licence in their hotel room, that he wore a black suit and his bride a white, lace dress..

When David Cassidy returned to playing concerts again in the U.S. in the early 90s, he didn't perform in Las Vegas. He worked very hard, new albums, tv roles from time to time, in 1993 he composed the theme for a popular sitcom called The John Larroquette (he submitted the demo under the pseudonym, even that he knew the producer). He also appeared in one of the episodes, aired on an 31, 1995, but I couldn't find it anywhere..In 1996 he still toured with Blood Brothers (Canada) and was working on a new album. David was again a big star, 46, still very, very handsome..He was dreaming about doing something big and spectacular, and about really big money..

Life is full of surprises..

  I learnt yesterday that Robyn Millan died last year. Someone published a post about the TPF's episode where she'd appeared as a guest star, 'Dora, Dora, Dora', Season 2 episode 1, aired 50 years ago, on September 17, 1971..And there was a comment about that episode that the script was poorly written, sexist etc. Maybe, no one would dare write something like that now, but the world looked different half a century ago..And I really felt sad yesterday because of Robyn. She started her short career in 1965, 33 credits, mostly tv roles - Mission:Impossible, The F.B.I, Hawaii 5.0, Ryan's Hope..But we would remember her as Dora, the girl Keith fell in love with, and Robyn, the girl David dated for a while.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmZnk9RFKm0&t=1s  In December 1971 on Photoplay Magazine an interview with Robyn was published :' He is just marvellous and really knows how to handle his success.(..) We hit it off from that first day six months ago.(..) I resp...

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

  Chapter 1 The Divorce David Bruce Cassidy was born on April 12, 1950 in New York City. He was born into show business, it was running in his blood. His parents were young and glamorous working actors. Jack Cassidy was 23 years old, Evelyn Ward 3 years older, both very busy with their career, frequently touring and absent. David spent his early years with his maternal grandparents in West Orange, New Jersey, just 20 miles from New York. He felt he was different from other kids, didn’t exactly fit in, his school friends’ parents didn’t look like his, they had ordinary jobs, like his grandfather, Frederic Ward, who all his life worked as a utility meter reader. David was a small child, slightly built, and had to wear glasses. During his life he underwent 5 eye operations. It wasn't easy to be the youngest, and not to have a brother or a sister. Someone to fight with, but also to play with, and to share love, good and bad experiences. He was a lonely child, brought up by honest,...

'He Was So Pretty You Couldn't Look Away..'

'and sexy in a way that is timeless.' It's from Kevin Fallon's article published on www.thedailybeast.com on November  22, 2017.  Maybe it's not the smartest thing to do, but the newest article about David Cassidy on Record Collector Magazine, and first of all different pointsview of it, made me have a look on some articles published after this horrible day,  November 21, 2017. But first a song. We experience another heat wave here in Poland, I haven't seen a rain in many days, which is scary, so maybe a song about a rainy day. We miss David on any day, and this is one of his best songs. And amazing, very moving tribute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ6qjfK72L8 We have 42 web articles from November and December 2017, on the website, and I can't see Kevin Fallon's on the list, even that I'm sure I sent it Jane last year, because this is not the first time I'm writing about this article. I'm a former librarian, I believe everything sho...
