He Brings Out My Romantic Side

-

First wonderful Partridge Family's 'White Christmas'. Yesterday we had the first snow this season and now everything looks magical.

It's not too soon for this song, because actually The Partridge Family Christmas Card was recorded in summer of 1971, and released in November. The most popular Christmas album of 1971. That record is played in my house on Christmas Eve and we all love this charming video and David Cassidy's magical young voice

I haven't planned to write anything special on November 21st, on the sixth anniversary. I've written quite a lot of entries about missing David, how we still need him, what I did and where I was when had read about his passing.. About the shock. And even once Jane, our webmaster asked me to write something for the David Cassidy Official Website on one of the anniversaries, and I wrote a very emotional letter to David. 

So I've thought I have nothing more to add. After all I've never met DC, never seen him in concert, I can write about him every day but I don't know the real man. These are just my ideas about him which may have no relation to reality. Let others write about their grief, those who knew him, who miss the real man.

But in the morning I've read an article in The Times, called, 'She brings out my adventurous side'. It was about a happy someone's relationship. And when I've been walking this afternoon in my Winter Wonderland, I thought about it a little bit. Why I still care and write about DC. I'm adventurous enough, thank you very much, but life has made me very practical, not sentimental, and extremely effective. And David's music and his image.. oh yes, he brings out my romantic side.

And I'm very grateful for it.

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
