Let's watch a video first

It was in London, 38 years ago, but David Cassidy performed that September in Cardiff too. On 23rd, at St David's Centre. now it's called St David's Hall, and it happens that I'll be in Cardiff on 23rd of September, 2023. 

I'm going to the UK again, and you can't imagine how it's emotional for me. There are many reasons. For many years it was impossible, Poland was a communist country, later I was very poor, but in the end impossible became possible. It's just 2,5 hours by plane but it amazes me every time. That thrill when the plane lands in England..

At first was only London. Because of David Cassidy, in 2018, I decided to go on a tour around the UK. 17 very demanding days. We were everywhere. Our guide was hopeless, but I've been to many places I would never have gone on my own. That was only the beginning. My new friends, David Cassidy's fans, have invited me to visit them, they've showed me their houses, how they live. Amazing experience. I was in Luton, Cambridge, Swindon (and in many interesting places in Wiltshire), this time I will see Wales. All thanks to David Cassidy.

My very close friend B., with whom I'll spend 3 days in Wales, saw DC in concert a few times in 1985. She saw him on  September 21st in Cornwall (St Austell), on October 7th in Manchester, and she was at the same hotel as David, met him in a lift, didn't run away and got a kiss, and on October 19th in Oxford..She was with a friend, Veronica. Veronica's pics are on the David Cassidy Official Website.

So I'm going. First London. Meeting with other fans. The 5th anniversary of the Memorial Plaque, placed at the Phoenix Theatre. Later Cardiff. And talking with B. Also about David Cassidy.

  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...
