The song first and a very nice video.

I thought about 'Sing Me' yesterday, when I read that fans, in very short time, had donated the amount required to place a historical marker at Colgate Field, in West Orange, New Jersey, in honor of David Cassidy's memory. Just wonderful idea, and big thanks and congratulations for every person involved in it. Barb Schlamp Collentine, Karen Ranieri, Gina Gelardo, Erin Sullivan, Margie Jackson and Anette Trotta Flynn and Eilene Shimi and Robyn Smith and other wonderful our DC sisters. 

There were discussions in the past if David would have wanted himself those plaques, benches, stars..Somehow I'm 100 % sure that if he had known about this tribute, in this place, in a town he lived as a young boy, he would have been very happy.

'Oh, my days come back to me..back to me..'

So I listened to 'Sing Me' yesterday, and of course to the rest of the songs from that wonderful album. There is something very moving and symbolic about this historical marker in West Orange, because somehow, deep inside, he remained this young kid to the rest of his days. 

'Dreams Are Nuthin' More Than Wishes' was released exactly 50 years ago, in October 1973, and soon we will celebrate the great success of this album in the UK. Daydreamer/Puppy Song 3-week run at number 1, and the album was on the top of the chart in November. I've written about 'Dreams' many times, the most personal album David Cassidy ever recorded. He was 23 years old, on the top, a superstar and a teen idol, but he was singing about the time before he'd achived fame. About his mum and dad and home..

'Time and time again..'

  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...
