' 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..

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
