It has been difficult to find the right title for today's blog, and at last I've found one, a song with the lyrics, 'you can give without receiving.'

Isn't just fabulous..With such a voice (and easy on the eyes and much more), David Cassidy should have recorded one album after another in the 70s. Such a waste of his talent that only 8 years later he had to appear for money on "Love Boat" or "Fantasy Island'..But let's get to the topic.

We've had an awful weather today, such an enormous heat, free sauna for everybody, difficult to do something, and I have a lot to do..what's worse everything irritated me. Even posts published on the DC groups. Why fans have to discuss all over again David's taste for the women in his life, and everyone knows better..Of course it's a free world (still) and I don't have to read fans' comments. Maybe one more song.

How it is sung! The rhythm, the passion, he really cared, it meant a lot for David, 'human kindness'. And at last I've read today something really wonderful about him. Something that stopped me complaining, instead made me think what I could do, not for myself but for others.

Of course we know, and it's worth writing all over again, about David kindness and generosity, charity work, his personal involvement. We don't know about many things because David Cassidy didn't do it for applause or for his personal glory..

Sorry but I can't remember on which DC group it was posted. Originally this story was shared on November 27, 2017, by Fred Beato. In 1972 he was in his early 20s and played with his band at restaurant/night club at Pasadena. And one night one food waitress asked him that maybe he knew anyone who knew David Cassidy. 

And it happened that Fred knew a drummer teacher who gave lessons to Brian Forster. The waitress told him that her 9 year old daughter was in Children's Hospital dying of leukemia, and this little girl was crazy about David Cassidy..she asked maybe somehow DC could write her a postcard or something. Fred said he did what would be possible, told this drummer...and 5 days later the waitress started hugging him and crying because David Cassidy, in 1972 extremely busy and at the peak of his fame, actually found time to visit this dying child at the hospital and he brought her some presents..

Love and Light..

  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...
