First a song. From "Romance' album, about being struck by lighting, electric shock and excitement

What an amazing performer David Cassidy was. I've thought about this song in the morning while reading comments about AI and its possibilities for us, the David Cassidy's fans. I've talked about it later with some friends and not everybody knows what it is. They will know soon, there is no escape from it. My friend, who is a lecturer at one of our best universities has told me they already have problems with fake diploma thesis, it's just the beginning, and no one can imagine how the world will change because of AI.

Maybe another song, written in those ancient times when people still wrote letters. This is one of my favourite songs from that album, and what a great video.

Of course we all are so excited when a new pic is discovered, we are waiting impatiently for the Henry Diltz' book, it was such a joy to watch videos from Spain, from March 1973, and hear David Cassidy singing live on Estelar Del  Sabado. Maybe there will be more such treasures in the future. Who knows. We are in difficult situation, David Cassidy died nearly 6 years ago, there is nothing new, no new songs, new interviews, so we post old pics, sometimes photoshoped, fake. It's happened to me too, I had no idea because they were so  cleverly done and I was sure they were genuine.

Another favourite

And there is fan fiction, I've written some short stories myself, maybe settings were real, but the rest just my imagination, you wouldn't have believed how many people actually have read my last story. A lot. And now with AI it's just a matter of time that we will be able to see..a new Partridge Family episode..and it will be just a start. 

Personally I'm glad that I'm over 60, I'm from the 20th century...

  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...
