David Cassidy And London. November 2022

-

David Cassidy in London. Such a fascinating story, I've written about it many times, also about my crazy idea writing a tour guide. 'David Cassidy in London'. 3 years ago I was thinking seriously about it. I had 'know how'. how to do it, a lot of info, I came to London in August 2019 with only one goal - to see as much places, buildings connected with DC as possible. I took a lot of pics. I walked ..a lot. 

Knightsbridge, because DC lived there, in 'a little apartment near Montpelier Square', and of course I was outside The Dorchester and the Radio Luxembourg offices at Hertford Street..it was so deserted when I was there. no one, not only on the famous balcony. And BBC Broadcasting House, British Film Institute, and theaters and parks, and concert halls. Everywhere.

I was even outside Riatlo Theatre. DC and Kay Lenz on March 5, 1977 attended a film premiere there, and told the whole world about their love...

But I gave up writing that guide. With my dyslexia and what I know about London. Nothing really. I've read some books and been several times. That's all. And it was during that stay in 2019 that I realised that once I was in London on the same day as DC. 10 years ago. On November 11, 2012. Actually I was leaving by noon and he was to perform in the evening. And of course I had no idea about it..

The video is from DC concert on November 17, 2012. Liverpool Echo Arena. I was there too. Much later and outside.

Of course it happens. My very close friend D. flew (with her family) from Kenya to London on the day DC played the White City. She was a fan at the time, but even if she'd known about the concert ..no way.

I was in London on November 21, 2018. And I will be that year again. Hope so. I mean I have air tickets and everything but 2022 has taught me that nothing can be certain. Anyway this time I have a hotel booked in Kings Cross (Camden), also because I want to see The London Music Walk Of Fame with my own eyes (and I love Regent's Park).

It will be so moving to be in London again, especially on November 21...

    Hi Weronika, thank you so much for sharing this! I think that is such a GREAT idea to write a guide called "David Cassidy In London"! I'm so sorry that you gave up on it. If you ever decide to go back to doing it and publishing it, I would really love to buy it! I am always interested in places where David was. That is so great that you walked all over London and took pictures of all of those places where he was. Thank you for sharing the picture of the Dorchester, too! I'm so sorry that you left London before noon on November 11, 2012, and David did a concert that evening! I thought there would have been signs around or something. Do you know where he did the concert that evening? I am so happy that you have air tickets, and a hotel booked for November 21! I pray that it will all work out! If you go to St. Gile's Church, can you please light a candle for David for me? Thank you so much! I wish you a wonderful time with your friends, and visiting The London Music Walk Of Fame, Regent's Park, and all the places you visit! Thank you again for doing such a wonderful job doing David's blog!

      Judy, thank you so much. Maybe I return to that idea of a tour guide again, but of course it will be for free for everybody, I would never earn on David. Of course I will light a candle for DC for 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...
