The Partridge Family Experience

-

A couple of days ago someone wrote on FB about visiting The Friends Experience in New York, and asked if sth like that but with TPF existed. I've checked what it could be that Friends Experience. I've heard about the show of course but actually never watched it. I only know that one of the actresses, Lisa Kudrow was born in Encino, LA and in the 70s was a huge David's fan, even run his fan club or something like that. I've learned that it was created by Warner Bros, and it's not only in NY and not cheap...And of course I've started thinking about TPF Experience, would I  like it or not..

This is a new video about a former Columbia Ranch (now it's called Warner Bros Ranch), and at the minute 5th of it we can see how  The Partridge Family's house looks now, and later there is the famous fountain of course..

Amazing..So what about The David Cassidy Museum. I have nothing against museums, I love visiting them everywhere I go, especially in the UK, a lot of them are free and each time while in London I try to visit a new museum I've never seen before ( and a new park). Once I've spent a whole day at The Wallace Collection and on another visit fell in love with Sir John Soane's Museum. I also loved Liverpool's museums..except one. The Beatles Story.

I liked that part of the exhibition about John Lennon, great photos, his piano..but the rest. I don't know.. and I've been a huge The Beatles' fan for nearly half a century. And while visiting I couldn't stop thinking 'John wouldn't have liked  being a part of a museum, an exhibit'. Of course a lot of people love The Beatles Story Museum, they can learn  about the group and pop culture, the 60s..I don't know if I'd like The David Cassidy Museum..But I know I'd love to visit ..a place where his music would be performed live, a place with his posters and records sleeves displayed on the walls, and where you could have drinks called..let's say 'Last Kiss' or 'Hurt So Bad', and where on a big screen his concerts would be shown..Something full of life and joy..not a museum..

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...
