As Time Goes By / Herman Hupfeld

 A song from 'Casablanca' and a blog about celebrating David Cassidy's birthday? I explain at the end of that entry. 

This year David's birthday was celebrated truly worldwide. The unforgettable gathering in Las Vegas, but also some fans met in Liverpool and in London..London, I hope to be there again in May. There are many, many places in this wonderful city connected with David Cassidy. He lived and worked in London, felt like at home. 

Pauline Tombs has written for us about April 12th celebration in London.

Pauline Tombs : (all comments in brackets are mine, not Pauline's)

' There weren't many of us - me, Roz Currie, Tim Edwards and just days before, we had an enquire from Paula Noverraz as what we would be doing. Not too much really but a celebration and remembrance of a special person, David Cassidy!

We all met in Foyles Book Shop ( what a wonderful choice!) on the 5th floor where we introduced ourselves to Paula, with a brief discussion of what we were about...DAVID CASSIDY!

So first we visited the Memorial Plaque at The Phoenix Theatre (the perfect place to start), next St Giles in the Fields church (known also as Poets' Church) to light candles, having supported us with a memorial table to David Cassidy, for 4 years now (also each year on the November 21st, as I saw in 2018). 

Walking through the Church grounds and into the Phoenix Garden, where we have plaques to David Cassidy in wording that relates to his career, but perfectly suited to a garden on their wishing wall.

Later we had a break for a light lunch and recap with Paula who was so pleased she was joined us! Then off on the tube to White City. We visited the Hammersmith Park and the Japanese Garden. We have there the Bench Plaque and...a Time Capsule.(it's amazing)..That Time Capsule has been buried in the garden and inside there are David Cassidy memorabila, articles, pics..For someone to find in in the future..

I can't recall now how many times I have visited these different areas but always a perfect day in reminiscing someone who made a difference and continues to! Our Daydreamer.'

Thank you Pauline, hope you will visit them again in May, with me.

And 'As Time Goes By' ?..David loved 'Casablanca' and that song..and when I was celebrating his birthday I watched this video ..a lot. Recorded nearly 45 years ago..

Play it again..David

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
