"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..

  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...
