Come Away with Me / Norah Jones

-

I'm still on my holiday, leaving early morning tomorrow. The best hotel I've ever been, it's only because it's out of season that I could afford it. I don't know why it was so cheap, the food alone I managed to eat costed more than I paid for a week there..
Amazing place, Turkish Riviera, near Side. You can forget about everything really. 

I spent a lot of time at the beach caffee, there were great tables and comfortable chairs, so I was soaking in the rays (as DC used to say), reading and listening to the music. Even the music which was played there wasn't bad actually. But of course with each and every song I thought about DC..

'Chicago' - 'Hard to Say I'm Sorry', and me, 'DC played 'Beginnings' in the 70s', 'Cherish - Kool and the Gang, you know what I've thought..so it was like that, Norah Jones, I read somewhere how DC'd liked her. And I thought what a great title it would have been for a book about David and us, his fans..Come Away with Me. 

But there was one song which brought tears to my eyes, because I've always avoided listening to it, it was so painful, 'Tears In Heaven'. I have a daughter the same age as was Eric Clapton's son. So this time I haven't thought about the Clapton's songs performed by DC, but left my chair and went for a walk..

Is it possible so many years passed?, we keep forgetting. And I thought about people who died in 2022, those important for the DC story we write about. Lady Montagu, Ken Mansfield..who knows that he died in November. A DC's producer in the 70s, he wrote such nice words about David in his book. Or David Birney, that lucky rival, a Meredith's husband. He died in April. And I thought that maybe I should add another page for my blog. With biographies..Maybe

"Come away with me and I'll write you a song.." (Norah Jones)

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...
