The Lost Tapes and David Cassidy in Conversation with Selina Scott

-

I have no idea about other known musicians and their websites, but I feel disappointed that so many of DC's tv guest appearances and radio interviews are lost for us ..I'm afraid forever. Of course from time to time sth amazing emerges out of the blue, and I was very excited 2 years ago when Gary published  this video, and I'm grateful in spite of ..

Nearly everyday we have something new. A fan sends some old pics took 50 years ago, or an article no one heard about, or a concert audio. Now there are also podcasts and I think the links to them should be on the website too.

Everything is important. Consider the 70s concerts. Let's say August 13, 1972. 2 concerts at Wildwood Convention Hall, NJ. We have 1 photo and audio from both concerts, only because a fan, Betty Ernst saw DC twice that day and she recorded everything on a cassette tape and Lucio many years later made out of them  digital recordings. Truly amazing experience listening to those screams and  DC trying to perform. And maybe someone will make set lists of those concerts and someone else finds an old ticket  or even writes a review..It's a team work. And needs a lot of patience..and time

David Cassidy's tv guest appearances, so many, but again sometimes we have only a title or a date, or a screenshot. How wish I could see those programes -  March 1973, DC on Estelar Del Sabado.. July 23, 1979, Good Morning America, guests - David Cassidy and Kay Lenz. And we don't have most of the Canadian tv interviewa from 1982 and 1983. Later it's much better, but I don't know if the list is complete. 

Why is it so important to have everything? I look at the website as a giant puzzle..and only when you have all the pieces you can see the real picture. The real David, how his career really looked like.The ups and downs. When last year Jay Gruska sent me the full version of the theme song from Man Undercover, my first thought was ' This is just great..David must have been so disappointed'..

TV interviews seem very similar at first glance, after all DC on most of them told the story of his life we know so well, of course the mood of these conversations depended on the type of program. DC in conversation with Selina Scott, this is something really wonderful. At the time Selina was at the peak of her career. She did interviews with everybody, Prince Charles, George Harrison, Bono or Garry Kasparov, very experienced and serious journalist, just 1 year younger than David...and he had her eating out of his hand..very quickly.

  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...
