How Can We Hang On To A Dream / Tim Hardin

-

I have no choice, I have to buy a new phone. Great opportunity to remove a lot of pics and messages, and old whatsapp conversations. And while doing this I've found some hidden gems, some videos or articles I've forgotten about, and today instead doing something useful, I've spent some happy hours in my garden watching and listening and reading and admiring. and maybe there are fans who never seen some of  those so..

Let's start with one of my fav videos ..I just can't find words, only that life is so unfair and it should have been me with DC of course, not any of those girls.. He was so gorgeous..It's just incredible that one man had..everything. I've once read an article and  a journalist (a man) wrote that DC had a kind of face 'that launched a thousands ships'.Of course is a known figure of speech that refers to Helen of Troy, not to DC, but such a beauty can be a blessing, but  also a curse.  This amazing video is about making  the cover for David's first RCA album.

Another one is  from the 70s, May 1974, DC in a conversation with Ed Stewart. Also some wonderful screenshots from the DC Official Website, and how nice that Bali Ha'i was his fav song too (at least in 1974)

David singing 'Any Dream Will Do' on Merv Griffin, June 14, 1983. Wonderful, great performance.

Another interview..Very short and nothing what we haven't heard many times..but worth watching

One review, and I'm a kind of a collector of those reviews, written by music critics, fellow fans or just people interested in music. And sometimes they discover DC's albums, maybe they don't know a lot about him, but  they can appreciate his music. Like that one fellow blogger.

Today a lot of fans write about their sorrow, we still miss David. 52 months passed. And I've found in my phone that video..

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...
