' Billy Was a Little Boy..

-

 ..who loved horses more than anything else in the world.' And because I love so much how DC reads that wonderful C.W. Anderson's book for kids, I've translated it for my grandson and made a book for him, both with the original in English and my Polish translation, and some pics, also DC's with horses. Because David's love for horses is also a part of his legacy. 

I love animals too, but never ridden a horse in my life, even that there are two stables in the neighborhood. But because of him (and my sister) I've became a regular donor of a foundation that saves horses' life. Recently I've got a personal letter from them with an invitation to visit the horses which were rescued with mine (and my sister's) help. I'm not writing this to brag, just to say that anyone can help and this is very important part of David Cassidy's legacy. He would have been happy if he'd known that his fans support and rescue the animals in need.

Yesterday I was taking screenshots of the episode  number 12 from Season 3. One of those episodes we watch smiling from start to finish. With a very happy and wonderful version of 'Breaking Up Is Hard To Do'

The filming of that episode  must have been a great  fun for DC. He was like that Billy, he loved horses more than anything else..Very often such passion reaches us very early in life and for no reason whatsoever. My oldest grandson loves cars and any other vehicle on wheels..it was always like that, or my sister who's always  loved cold weather, wind, mountains, glaciers and books about Antarctica, The same was with David, he loved horses from a very early age.

'No one in my family ever understood my fascination.' (December 1983), and 'I remember staying home with the mumps and seeing that racing movie, The Homestretch' (the film from 1947 about rival thoroughbred horse breeders). I loved the racing scenes nad begged my mum and grandparents to take me to the races..( October 17, 2002, Daily Racing Forum) 

One more song from the S3E12...so beautiful..

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...
