In My Life / John Lennon, Paul McCartney

-

It's  still very hot, but days much shorter and we all are waiting for autumn. And the autumn (or fall as DC'd have said) makes me think about  another November 21st, that day approaching so fast..5 years. That's a lot of time.

What we managed to do for his legacy..Why we can't work together, be united, we the DC's fans. Not so many of us left. What can we do to make this day special.. And while Ive been wondering I got a ready entry from my FB friend, Pauline Tombs. It seems she's been thinking about the same as me.. 

 Let's first listen to the The Beatles' 'In My Life', that wonderful song loved and still love by millions all over the world. The song so important for David Cassidy, all his life.

Pauline Tombs :

We have a David Cassidy connection with the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral with a brick on the Peoples Path, laid for David's love of the Beatles, John Lennon, Blood Brothers and his performing in the City too!

There has been an exhibition there, called Being Human, and the focus is on:

Connection, Creativity, Identity, Reflection


I thought over the last few days how these sit in our lives and how they have impacted in the world of David Cassidy and groups, a place you would expect to feel the warmth and love of his wish of Love and Light and Making a difference but so often not the case!

David Cassidy had made a difference he would never have imagined since the 21st of November 2017. Just on a lighter side of these words, which will also as individuals leave us with some food for thought

CONNECTION
The love for David Cassidy has connected a world of people together and for some especially through the lockdown, likely made a difference to a feeling of isolation

CREATIVITY
The love for David Cassidy has given many a drive to engage with others to make things happen in tributes

IDENTITY
The love for David Cassidy be it right or wrong has I feel in the world of technology allowed others to be someone else, when DC only wanted to be him and share of himself with love

REFLECTION
The love for David Cassidy and his wishes, I feel should be reflective of him in anything we do, the person he was and his values

But of course as individuals these words to focus on are much, much deeper but there they are and something to be thought about as we honour David Cassidy respectufully and remember it's about him with Love...

    I have always enjoyed the Beatles' music. I'm glad that David did too, and that he became such great friends with John Lennon. I really love seeing and hearing David sing their songs. I love the way he sings them to us, his fans. It is as if he wants to hug us all individually. This is so touching to me. After he finishes the song, I also love the way he looks up and says, "Thank you, John," etc.

  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...
