'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..

  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...
