'I Wouldn't Put Nothin' Over On You' / Wes Farrell, Danny Janssen and Bobby Hart

-

 Hi..another great holiday with David Cassidy's music, thanks to Timm McCoy and his DC Day 2018. This time I've been listening to it while walking on a  very empty, long and beautiful beach in Poland. The Baltic Sea is never very warm, even in summer, but I've come there for a few quiet days, and it was a great stay. And a very exciting journey from Warsaw, driving alone, highways and side roads,  about 1500km both ways, quite an adventure..I'm proud of myself (and my old Nissan Micra)

Timm McCoy ( btw I'd love to send him a present or just  let him know how his DC Day is important for me), anyway  Timm during his programme tells a few times something like that -' This is one of my fav DC's albums' or 'That song is one of my fav'..and again...'Oh, that's my fav version of this song'..But of course we say or write the same all the time, because we love nearly everything David Cassidy ever recorded. And I've listened to this TPF's  song several times during my last holiday.

It's  not a whole song, but I've wanted to give a link to that fragment of 'Miss Partridge, Teacher' where the family plays it together. I know of course that they were pretending, acting..but this is episode nr 92, first aired in February 1974,..filmed in 1973..They knew soon would be the end of TPF and they would go their own way..They had so many personal problems at the time..Shirley, Susan, Danny and David,..and Suzanne and Brian weren't young kids anymore..Maybe I'm very naive. but they look so happy being together and performing  that particular song..So once more, a full version

This  is  really something  extraordinary. A great song to sing along (  me on my empty beach for example) and to.. dance, a wonderful quickstep , a standard dance, brisk and light and elegant. Just amazing, how it's played and sung and the arrangement. Fabulous, a real gem. I love the lyrics. And David's interpretation, this is masterclass. He is certain he will be forgiven. 'it was just a misunderstanding',  and who could be angry with him? No one of course..

Kay Lenz, an Actress

Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing today's blog just to gossip about DC's private life, it's because I always admired that amazing woman, Kay Ann Lenz. She had birthday yesterday. 3 years younger than David, a few years older than a typical DC's fan.  In the 70s I heard quite a lot about Kay Lenz . She was very popular in Poland, like the rest of the cast of 'Rich Man, Poor Man'. That tv series was shown in my country I think in 1978, and everybody watched it, also a lot was written about the cast. So one day I read that Kay's husband was a former teen idol, David Cassidy. There was also a pic and I thought that it was just wonderful, I thought they were the most beautiful couple in the world. There was something very moving about Kay. I thought she was different than typical American actress. Such beautiful eyes, but her beauty wasn't an ordinary kind, not for everybody so to speak. When I was a teen I couldn't put in words what I thought a

They Said I Changed A Lot..

Let's first listen to something which was not released, why they didn't want David singing that song is a great mystery for me. Listening to his young, sincere, innocent and magical voice is one in a kind moving experience. You can just imagine David sitting next to you, with his guitar...and.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PbghG6czuw&t=6s Amazing. And of course we believe in David Cassidy and love songs. When I became a real DC's fan in 2018, there was something I used to discuss a lot with my English friend B. How David Cassidy kept changing. A completely different person in each decade. Or even more often. It was something difficult to understand for me. The many faces of David. Each album different from the previous one, different style and even his voice.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4gvxt1WgaA B. thought there was nothing unusual about how David was changing, and I simply didn't follow his career from the beginning, I didn't grow with him, I didn&#

'I Just Hated Being In The Show..'

Last week someone posted a screenshot of the article from May 1974, unfortunately without the date or the name of the paper. Written by a popular journalist Roderick Gilchrist, I think it was Daily Express. We can read that this interview took place at London Weekend Television's Building, on the day before the DC's last concert in Manchester.  And David said, "I feel like the door to the cage has just been opened. And, any minute now I'm going to be able to fly right away from my prison. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel because I'll be free again.." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG0hjhwKx5s His prison..Of course there have been other teen idols in the history of pop culture, but somehow for those from the 70s it was like someone put a curse on them. Nothing David Cassidy recorded later in life hasn't changed a bit that first opinion some people had of him and his music. My FB friend, Laurie Eby has written, "I researched 'New Y
