David Cassidy Live..2016

-

It's started with an article. I've been looking for sth on the DC webiste and instead found this..And of course I've read a lot of such stories, DC being first crush bc of TPF, and later how it was being a fan of his  for all those years, seeing DC in concert, even at Madison Square Garden. But there was something in it which was very moving. The author, Lisa Finn, wrote that article the day before a DC concert at The Suffolk Theater in Riverhead, NY, in April 2016. 

She wrote : 'We've grown up together, we frenzied fans and our golden idol. We're different that we were all those years ago (..) older somewhat world weary. Not so easily delighted. But still, deep down, under all the polished layers and professional appearances, aren't we all still dancing, singing, screaming teeny boppers thrilled to our bones that David Cassidy is going to perform Friday night at the Suffolk Theater??''

 I've read it and started thinking about DC..What about him, was he still , deep down a boy who loved making his fans happy ?? In 2016?.And there are videos from that concert on YT so we can check for ourselves .On this one : Happy Birthday for DC, On Broadway, Doesn't Sb..and I Woke Up In Love This Morning

And the second one : I'll Meet You Halfway, Night And Day..That was hard to watch knowing how he struggled in the fall of 2017 to sing those songs..

I always remember while watching DC playing concerts that it was his job. And I'd have gone crazy if I had to perform with a smile and energy 'I Can Feel Your Heartbeat' all over again..and ITILY. I never forget that for some years he didn't perform live not without reasons. In the 2010s he also had a lot of personal and health problems. DC said in 2015 - 'It becomes harder and harder to travel. I have arthritis in my lower back and also in my hands, which makes it difficult to play. But, I find a way to do it, I warm up a lot. I live in South Florida and travel across the country and back. It's a big deal for me.' 

 In 2016 he played 20 concerts, mostly at the East Coast -Maryland, Virginia, New York (state and the city), Connecticut, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and also Missouri, Florida and California. New Jersey Performing Arts Centre, B.B. King Blues Club, Wolf Den..And that year he played at The Historic Suffolk Theater twice..

  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...
