P.S. I Love You..

Recenty I've written a lot about Lord Montagu and The Beaulieu Tribute to David. But of course we've got another tribute in November, in Liverpool. In a very special place.  Strawberry Fields, we all know that name, immortalized by John Lennon in one of his the most famous songs. 

There was a Salvation Army children's home in the grounds known as Strawberry Fields, and John's aunt Mimi's house backed on to. John Lennon used to play there when he was a kid. And now, since 2019, the place is open to the public and people from all over the world keep coming there. There are a lot of attractions, among them the John Lennon 'Imagine' piano. It was bought in 2000 for 3 million US dollars by...George Michael, who was a great The Beatles fan, and it was always George's intention that the piano should be in Liverpool. There is a great video on YT where you can see the place, some great John's and George's pics, and the famous piano..

Strawberry Fields..and now their paths have crossed again. John's, George's and our David's. Because there is a path there, called Strawberry Lane, that runs from the gate to the front entrance of the new visitor's centre. On that path there are stones with inscriptions, and on 18 November, 2022, the stone to remember and celebrate David Cassidy, this 5th anniversary, was laid in the lane. David Cassidy All My Loving

The stone was purchased on behalf of The David Cassidy Legacy Group of Great Britain, and the words chosen as a Beatles reference for David Cassidy, and he gave, and we gave..All My Loving..

Liverpool, after London, became the place to visit for all David's fans. This is the second tribute to DC there. Since summer 2021 there is a brick on the People's Path, at the Anglican Cathedral, which overlooks Liverpool from high above the City. 

And The Echo Arena (now The M&S Bank Arena), so close to The Beatles Story Museum, was where David Cassidy last performed in the UK, on the 17th of November 2012, 10 years ago, and that visit his last time being in the UK..

Thank you so much Pauline Tombs for all that info, and it's because of you and our conversation in London a few days ago that I've written that entry today. Hope one day we'll go to Liverpool together. Thank you my friend. xxx

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
