'We Wish This Could Be Forever'

-

Maybe in 2001 David Cassidy didn't play 7 shows a week, but instead he travelled a lot. In the U.S., and that year he also flew to the UK several times. He recorded his album at Decca studio in Wimbledon, he took part in tv programmes and last but not least, he had a sold out mini tour. Let's start from 2 great David Cassidy's tv performances in the UK. 
 He couldn't sing his great hit live on this legendary programme in the 70s..

What an amazing timeless pop classic, Wes Farrell knew how to write a hit..And here is DC enthusiastically received on another English programme..This is my number 1 of his live  performances from 2001, how I wish I could have been in audience. DC at his best. Magic..I love this.

A lot was written about DC's concerts in 2001, in the U.S. and in the UK. That he still looked great, sang very well, David said that at last there was a balance in his life , and that he came to terms with his teen idol's past. That he was so happy doing concerts again : 'It's an indescriable experience. It's something I can't articulate because it's difficult to define. But it keeps me loving what I do. It's not a job.(May24th, 2001, Reno Gazette Journal'

So in November David was in the UK again .He played sold out tour - Nov9th - Manchester, Nov11th- Glasgow, Nov14th - Newcastle, Nov16th and 17th - London..And those concerts were great..Glasgow concert and ..Hush

'We wish this could be forever', it was what fans were saying after a concert at Newcastle City Hall : 'The atmosphere was electric when Cassidy 51, took the stage. Most fans were women of the certain age who needed no encouragment to step back in time with the man who used to adorn their bedroom walls. Cassidy didn't disappoint, and by the end of the night underwear and flowers were being hurled on stage at him.' (November15th, 2001, The Evening Chronicle, Newcastle)

'..he still looks good. Yes, the famous shaggy hairstyle was disappeared (..) but it was still our darling David up there and I was surprised to discover he  actually has a jolly good voice. I had never heard him sing before, I was always screaming you see.(..) And with an encore of the spine-tingling How Can I Be Sure there wasn't a dry eye in the house' (David's a darling - 30 years on', Karen Stephen , Bolton Evening News )

Robyn Millan

  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...
