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

  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...
