'He Was One Of The Finest'

-

 

I haven't planned to write anything tonight, I'm still not very well after the cold I got while on holiday in Turkey, in December. Nothing serious, but that virus left me weak and lazy. So I have decided instead writing about DC, to check what's going on in my garden (we've had recently a visit of some wild boars), and also go for a really long walk. But it's impossible to spend a day without David Cassidy.

In the morning my wonderful postman arrived on his bike with a parcel from England. At last! A new calendar with the DC's pics from my very close friend and a fellow-fan, Doreen. I have quite a collection of those calendars now. But this time I had to wait for it quite long. It has taken Royal Mail and our Poczta Polska, nearly a month to deliever it. I've read some articles compering 1973 in the UK with 2023, because of strikes and financial crisis. Maybe..For us 1973 was the year David Cassidy performed in Europe. He was huge, a superstar.  Those lucky ones who saw him in concert, like Doreen..50 years ago.

Some of my close English friends saw David in concert in 1973, and they told me a lot about it, many really amazing details, how they bought the tickets, waited for that big day, how they got to London: they tried to describe that excitement and joy. I like the best the story how my friend Jane saw DC in Manchester. She was 15 and went to a very known girls' school, and was at the concert with her school friend. Politely sat in their seats, those two very well-behaved young ladies, Jane expected to see Keith Partridge, but instead on stage was very sexy, exciting David Cassidy, singing 'Rock Me Baby'. Of course they jumped on their chairs and started screaming like the rest of the audience. 

We have on the website  some great pics and an amazing video from Manchester. With a short interview and that question -  'What's the secret of David Cassidy ?'

'He was one of the finest'. Someone wrote it about David in November 2017, and I've read those words today. They've been posted on FB, on one of the DC groups, and  have stuck in my mind. Short and so accurate..Not 'he was a great, underrated singer', or 'a born entertainer', 'an excellent actor', but just like that -  'he was one of the finest'. Yes, he was.

    Hi Weronika, thank you for sharing this! I'm so sorry that you are not feeling well. I pray that you feel better very soon! Hope you had a great time in Turkey! Yes, it is impossible to spend a day without David! He is one of the highlights of my day. Your friends and everyone who was able to see David in concert was so blessed! I was not able to see him in concert, but I was so blessed to see him in "Joseph" twice! Those were 2 of the happiest days of my life! Yes, he is one of the finest! In my opinion, he IS the finest! Thank you so very much again for your wonderful blog for and about David, and for all of us lucky fans who are blessed to read it, and watch the videos!

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...
