"It's Sad That We Don't See You..'

-

Timothy Bruce Schmit had a birthday yesterday. Born in 1947, one of those very talented young and very cool musicians who in the 70s recorded great music in Los Angeles. 

They competed with each other, but they also were working and had a great time together. Timothy B. Schmit twice replaced Randy Meisner as a bassist and vocalist, first for Poco, later the Eagles. As a member of the Eagles was inducted into the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame.

This is something.. I can't find the right word, but yes, it's sad that so many of David Cassidy's friends from the 70s, also Timothy B. Schmit, have achieved recognition, got the most prestigious and significant awards in the music industry, and David, who was not inferior to them in any way..you know. That's really unjust.

In 1979 DC recorded a song written by Timothy for Poco. This is one of my favourite DC's song. His voice is so mesmerising, seductive, there is something so adictive about that song, I've been singing  myself all day long, 'I can see everything, it's all in your smile, all of the special things about you..' DC's cover of that song is better than the original.

This video was posted a year ago, not many views (at least 20 are mine), and just 3 comments. And someone has written, 'It's sad that we don't see you any more (actually Moor) now'. Nothing special of course, but sometimes you read something and it sticks in your mind, even if a sentence is not very correct.  It's happened to me today. Maybe because tomorrow is All Saints' Day, a very important and free day for everybody in my country. We will visit cementeries, put flowers and light candles, remembering our loved ones and other people who are not with us anymore. 

It's very sad..

Kay Lenz, an Actress

Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing today's blog just to gossip about DC's private life, it's because I always admired that amazing woman, Kay Ann Lenz. She had birthday yesterday. 3 years younger than David, a few years older than a typical DC's fan.  In the 70s I heard quite a lot about Kay Lenz . She was very popular in Poland, like the rest of the cast of 'Rich Man, Poor Man'. That tv series was shown in my country I think in 1978, and everybody watched it, also a lot was written about the cast. So one day I read that Kay's husband was a former teen idol, David Cassidy. There was also a pic and I thought that it was just wonderful, I thought they were the most beautiful couple in the world. There was something very moving about Kay. I thought she was different than typical American actress. Such beautiful eyes, but her beauty wasn't an ordinary kind, not for everybody so to speak. When I was a teen I couldn't put in words what I thought a

They Said I Changed A Lot..

Let's first listen to something which was not released, why they didn't want David singing that song is a great mystery for me. Listening to his young, sincere, innocent and magical voice is one in a kind moving experience. You can just imagine David sitting next to you, with his guitar...and.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PbghG6czuw&t=6s Amazing. And of course we believe in David Cassidy and love songs. When I became a real DC's fan in 2018, there was something I used to discuss a lot with my English friend B. How David Cassidy kept changing. A completely different person in each decade. Or even more often. It was something difficult to understand for me. The many faces of David. Each album different from the previous one, different style and even his voice.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4gvxt1WgaA B. thought there was nothing unusual about how David was changing, and I simply didn't follow his career from the beginning, I didn't grow with him, I didn&#

'I Just Hated Being In The Show..'

Last week someone posted a screenshot of the article from May 1974, unfortunately without the date or the name of the paper. Written by a popular journalist Roderick Gilchrist, I think it was Daily Express. We can read that this interview took place at London Weekend Television's Building, on the day before the DC's last concert in Manchester.  And David said, "I feel like the door to the cage has just been opened. And, any minute now I'm going to be able to fly right away from my prison. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel because I'll be free again.." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG0hjhwKx5s His prison..Of course there have been other teen idols in the history of pop culture, but somehow for those from the 70s it was like someone put a curse on them. Nothing David Cassidy recorded later in life hasn't changed a bit that first opinion some people had of him and his music. My FB friend, Laurie Eby has written, "I researched 'New Y
