'Goodbye, hello..I've got to go..'

-

Wrote by Paul Anka (and Wes Farrell whatever it means) from that outstanding TPF album, 'Sound Magazine'. Also one of the most memorable David Cassidy's performance as Keith Partridge. From the episode called 'The Diary Of Mad Millionaire', Season 3, ep. 24 (73)

Truly wonderful music, and those lyrics..it's scary really, how this song now looks like was written just for him.' the price of fame..'. Of course that's the life of a professional musician or actor, a professional entertainer. And I've thought about this song today while reading comments on my yesterday's entry. The Gerry Beckley's interview. But first David Cassidy and 'One Night Stand' live, in Chicago, in 1991..

What a performance..I'd have been screaming too I'm afraid.

So  I've got an impressive feedback, thank you very much, I think that interview, that fragment about DC was a food for thought. And I also have learnt that there are fans who has no idea about the DC's collaboration with Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell in the 70s. Of course I've written about it many times, and not only me of course, Julie Stetler Correll for example, and many more. But fans have normal life, they come and go, everything needs time, and for me it's a tip to return to not so known topics. It's worth repeating certain things..

And there was also such comment :'He made good friends with a lot of folks'. Short and accurate. If we made a list of known, famous people, musicians or actors, producers and others, with whom DC was friends, it'd be a very impressive list. But, 'I play and sing ..pack my things and move along'. He kept  moving along. All his life..another project, new co-workers, new friends. But of course it's nothing unusual in it. 

David Cassidy also sang backing vocals on some of his friends' albums, eg America's, Richie Furay's and Randy Meisner's. Truly speaking I don't know if Randy M. was a friend, anyway David sings on 3 songs on the self-title album, released by ex-Poco and ex The Eagles musician in 1978.

One of those songs is 'Take It To The Limit'. One of the most beautiful song ever written..

    AWESOME SONG!! Beautiful singing by gorgeous David!!
    The song, "One Night Stand", is the name, and the lyric- "Goodbye, hello, I got to go"...references the sadness and pressure of fame, being in a hurry, never able to take the time to really get to know someone you meet and would LIKE TO stay and get to know, but can't. basically, "goodbye to one girl; next town-Hello to someone else promising; I got to go---again, "...when reality of being on the road hits you.

  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...
