'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.

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
