David Cassidy Annual 1975 at The Children's Country House At Sudbury

Today is another 21st, let's start with a song..

I have watched this video many times and each time I'm so impressed and so emotional. What an amazing performer David Cassidy was. And his voice..

Yesterday a fan posted a pic from the page of The Children's Country House at Sudbury NT (National Trust). Sudbury Hall is a 17th country house in Derbyshire. On the pic we can see a showcase with some building blocks and..David Cassidy Annual 1975. And it was written, "If you didn't go weak at the knees for Donny Osmond, chances were you swooned over David Cassidy! Look out for this book in the Toys Gallery." 

It was posted on April 12, 2011, and the House since then has been renovated and was opened again in 2022, the museum is very modern now and, "celebrates the history of childhood". I don't know if David Cassidy Annual 1975 is still there...

David Cassidy at a children's museum..Of course it shows how he was important for the whole generation in the UK, girls and boys born in the late 50s and early 60s of the last century. He was a houshold name, in 1973 it was enough to write even in national press just his first name and everybody knew what the article was about. 

I'm sure David Cassidy is more remembered in the UK than in his native country. And what's more Shaun is better remembered than him in America. There is a Billboard chart with the most popular holiday songs ever, and 'Da Doo Ran Ran' is still on the list. 

When I applied for an American visa in 2018 (we don't need them now thanks to the previous American president), I had to meet with a consul at the American embassy in Warsaw. When he asked me why I wanted to go to the USA, I answered, "Because of David Cassidy". The look on his face, he was so surprised, but tried..

"Cassidy..Cassidy..I know!! Shaun!'
"No, the other one.'
"The other one?"
"David"
"David..David..Aaaaa.. The Partridge Family. I used to watch it..but I was a small kid!"

This time I was surprised. He looked so old. But he was right, it was many years ago and .."there is nothin' any man can do" about it..

  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...
