10 000

 The number of entries for my blog. Magic of numbers, but also an opportunity to stop and look back, and even  make some conclusions. I never read my old posts, hope I don't repeat myself, so it will be interesting to do it just for once

David Cassidy is remembered all over the world. Of course I know that a reader from Hong Kong could mean an English lady who lives there, and a lot of readers have visited my blog only once and never returned back..but anyway it's an impressive list. So..

Asia :Azerbaijan, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan,  Malaysia, Nepal

Africa - only once, one hit from The Ivory Coast.

North America - Canada, Puerto Rico, USA

Central America - British Virgin Islands

South America - Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay

Europe - Austria, Belgium,  Cyprus,  Czech Republic,  Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Israel,  Italy, Malta, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and the UK of course

Australia - Australia, New Zealand

Impressive. And thank you. We are doing this for David Cassidy. Still missing him and talking about his music, his life, and what he still means for us.

There are some posts, which are more important for me than other ones, and I want to write about them once more. My top 5 so to speak.

1.https://talkingaboutdavid.blogspot.com/2021/01/billy-and-blaze.html

I'm a former librarian, Ive studied librarianship at the best Polish university, and my specialisation are childrens' books, but I've never heard about Billy and Blaze. David Cassidy introduced me to those charming stories. And now I want to translate them for my grandsons, and make an audio book . When we've had a lockdown, I started recording some short stories for my oldest grandson, he loves when granny reads him, and we've missed those precious moment together..so again DC's inspired me . Hope I will be ready with my translation for Christmas.

2.https://talkingaboutdavid.blogspot.com/2021/03/hard-times-hard-crimes-david-cassidy.html

It's important for me because those screenshots are the first I've taken for the DC website. It wasn't easy, believe me, how to take, which to choose..And I really love Man Undercover, even if DC himself didn't like that tv series. It's a case of missed opportunities.

3.https://talkingaboutdavid.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-first-concert-short-story-written.html

I'm so proud of this, it was so unexpected, me writing a short story, just out of the blue ( and in English), and first of all, Sharron's reaction. Truly speaking I don't know why I've sent her my unfinished story, I have some very good, close English friends. It was not a rational choice, but a brilliant one. You can't imagine how I was happy and surprised when she wrote her part. Thank you Sharron, that was such a moving experience. I hope we will write together again. And thank you DC for an inspiration (again)

4.https://talkingaboutdavid.blogspot.com/2021/02/cherish-part-1-songterry-kirkman.html

While writing that post, I've made some discoveries. Pat Metheny is one of my fav artists, but I've had no idea about his 'Cherish' cover, so beautiful and moving. Also I've fallen in love with the original. It's simply a great and timless song. And last but not least..After reading that post, my sister's written to me that actually she was with us at that Pat's concert, in 1985. Sorry sis, I've forgotten about it, Of course you were..

5.https://talkingaboutdavid.blogspot.com/2021/02/then-ill-be-someone-carl-wilson-tandyn.html

A very important post for me, writing about those difficult for DC's years, and 'Then I'll Be Someone', one of the most memorable David's performance. I love this song and that video.

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...
