Love Is a River in Time

-

Written, no, no by DC, but by Andrew Gold and ..yes, Sue Shifrin. Of course it's David's song. Such passion, emotion and perfection. David Cassidy at his best..

I have nothing against Halloween. On the contrary. We didn't have it when Poland was a communist country and I was a teen, and now kids here enjoy it the same way as other kids all around the world.

I appreciate it even more than you could think. I studied librarianship, my specialisation was children's literature, books wrote for and..by kids, and we spent a lot of interesting hours with our promotor discussing the meaning of tales, traditional, folk and copyright. And why kids like to be scared. Why it's important.

But every country has own traditions, and here in Poland, not Halloween, but  All Saints Day on the 1st of November is very important. It has a very long tradition, and the origin of it is pre- Christianity. 

So people visit cementaries, light candles and put flowers, meet with relatives ..I hated that day when I was a teen, It seemed so stupid going on the other side of the country in your best clothes, just to stand over someone's grave..And that small talk with distant relatives..Now of course I know why it's important.

I can't go this year, but I will visit our local cementary and light a candle on a forgotten grave, it's also a tradition. This is such a day, we forget about politics, even on tv.. instead we remember people ..those loved ones, the members of our families, friends, but also people important for all of us.

November..it will be an eventful month for me, we will be remembering David Cassidy more than usual. And I've thought that we shouldn't forget about remembering Stephanie Lawrence, David's co-star not only in 'Time'. Just a little bit older than DC, she was born in December 1949.

She died on November 4, 2000.  

Stephanie Lawrence singing 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina'. Outstanding performance..

  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...
