But first Happy Birthday Timothy B. Schmit (btw B. is for..Bruce). 

As always, I'm late a little bit, he had birthday on October 30, and now (difficult to believe), he is 75. He nearly died 10 years ago because throat and neck cancer. Ex Poco and The Eagles of course, a songwriter, vocalist and bassist. The DC's friend..once. David recorded his song in 1979, better than the Poco's original (in my opinion of course). I love this song and first of all the David's interpretation. It's so ..cool and laid-back. Wonderful. One day I will make a video with that song.

So the comment. Maybe I shouldn't write about it, blame.. the leaves. We've had a great weather today and I've been fighting with the leaves in my garden. I have two huge oak trees,  I have no choice..So I've been raking, enjoying the company of some squirrels, woodpeckers and my own stray cat. (The cat lives in my garden, let me feed him, and sometimes brings me presents, dead mice mostly). And I didn't want it, but  started thinking about that comment. 

Recorded in 1979, 'Save Me, Save Me (Albhy Galuten and Barry Gibb)

The comment was published anonymously. And I have nothing against when someone leaves a comment that way on my blog. I know that such a person is a fellow fan, and I always try to answer all comments, on FB or those here. But yesterday I didn't know how to answer. It was written under an entry called 'Some Very Old Articles', about how I tried to make good scans for the website. Here is the comment :

'The David Cassidy. com and Facebook would no longer be approved by David if he were still alive. He would have moved on and developed a new site based in the US'. 

Truly speaking I still don't know what the author meant. No one knows what DC would or wouldn't do if.. Personally I would have loved to see him happy, healthy, retired and with his family, with his horses..And the website..We can talk about it, but many generations of fans have worked for it, for the David Cassidy legacy. Fans from all over the world. Also from Eastern Europe, like me. We all love David. Wherever we live.

This is my answer. Not anonymous.

And PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION

Robyn Millan

  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...
