Morning Rider on the Road by..John Arehart

-

The song was written by Tony Romeo of course, and it's been on my mind recently because on Tuesday (very early morning) I'm going away for 8 or 9 days to the seaside. This time not by plane to Africa, but my destination is our (Polish) seaside (Baltic Sea) and  I'll go by car on my own..something I have never done before,  a long way and it will be quite an adventure. 

Morning  Rider on the Road by John Arehart is a mush up of TPF's version and Craig Scott's version. I have never heard about Craig Scott, his cover is very similar to the original, almost identical.

Really nice effect. Craig Scott is from New Zealand. In the early 70s he had a role in a tv music series (which was cancelled in 1974)..He was a real teen idol for a while, had one nr 1 in NZ , in 1970, Neil Sedaka's cover, 'Star Crossed Lovers'. He retired from performing in the late 70s, and achived a success as a music promoter and later became a successful businessman.

 John Arehart has several YT channels, and one of them is dedicated to TPF's  remixes. I've discovered this channel last year, when he made that really amazing, absolutely wonderful video on the 50th anniversary of TPF. This is awesome and brilliant. I love it. Great editing. This video is...perfect .Thank you, thank you so much for it. I don't know how many times I've watched it, and always with great pleasure. It's such a gift for all of us, TPF and David Cassidy fans.

Wow..amazing. John Arehart worked as an art director for many years,  he is also a photographer and loves travelling; such an info about him is avaliable on his channel, it's really worth to suscribe. There are not only TPF's remixes there..I love this one..what a suspence..

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
