David Cassidy in Las Vegas

-

When I think about April 12th, 2022..so many emotions. Another David's birthday without him. He was always 12 years older than me, I was born in April too.

I'm sorry I will not be in Las Vegas on that day, I will miss that once in a lifetime opportunity to meet  other DC's fans, fantastic people with whom I write quite a lot on social media. Fellow fans.. But first of all I'm so proud we have made it. Because that STAR, it's David's and ours. Our gift for him. Our thank you for everything. Each and every fan has its share. And I mean not only money..

I was in Las Vegas in April 2019. 2 days and 2 nights. What an amazing place,  in the middle of the desert, surrounded by mountains ranges on all sides. The first day I spent hiking a little bit in Red Rock Canyon. Just breathtaking ..I love the American mountains.

And the next day I left my group because I wanted to be alone while  walking in the David Cassidy's footsteps.

I spent quite a lot of time sitting at the foot of the statue of Leo, the MGM's  lion, listening to David's  EFX songs, and thinking about his life there. Of course that was only his work's place, he lived in a residential area..he earned a lot of money in Las Vegas, but he worked extremely hard for it, and paid a price .

At the time, in 2019, I had no idea that besides EFX in MGM, and 'The Rat Pack Is Back' in The Desert Inn, Sahara Hotel&Casino, and  'At the Copa' in Rio Hotel, David Cassidy played also some concerts in Las Vegas. It would be great to have a plan/map with all those places he performed in. A kind of a guide with pics. So e.g. on June 10, 2010 DC played a concert at Silverton Casino (there are some pics on the website), on May 7 and 8, 2011 at Orleans Hotel and Showroom. In 2012 - for 3 days in summer - South Point Hotel and Casino (great pics on the website too)

In 2017 one of the last ever David's concert was played exactly in Las Vegas. On February 17, 2017 at Golden Nugget Casino. We have pics and even audio of that concert on the website.

David did a lot for Las Vegas, he should have got an own star much earlier, and not founded by the fans..But I think it's great it will be that way. 

In 2002 he even appeared in a promo film called  David Cassidy's Las Vegas

  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...
