I'll Leave Myself a Little Time / Steve Dossick

This is an entry about words and new/old articles on David, which have brought me a lot of joy and gladness. What a wonderful word 'gladness' is. Quite old actually, I love reading about the origin of words, and I've learnt a lot of new ones since I became David Cassidy's fan.

Everything is easy for those from the English speaking countries, but I started learning English at high school, just 2 hours a week, very basic, and we didn't have books or magazines in English, so everything I know I've learnt all by myself. 

And David's songs, the lyrics, it's such joy to read them especially those he wrote himself. He didn't need many words to describe his feelings or tell a story in a song. 'Rot all day in the sun but just soon as the evening come kiss our ladies goodbye we ain't gonna make it home tonight boys the drinks are on me..' This is just an extraordinary song.

Let's return to 'gladness', I've heard this word for the first time watching the episode of The Partridge Family. 'The Sound Of Money'. Season 1, episode 2, first aired October 2, 1970. This is not a typical TPF's music scene, instead we can experience 2 minutes of perfect joy and gladness watching the Partridges and great Harry Morgan. David is not the most important, but that moment in the park with Susan is unforgettable. And last but not least David singing in his magical voice this wonderful, charming song. Bliss.

The articles at last. Got yesterday from my dear friend B. Nothing new, but I appreciate every single new/old article or a note, it's good to have a confirmation of some fact from various sources. So I got yesterday a digital copy of Liverpool Echo from March 22, 1973, which was very interesting to read, and with a note about DC, that he was taken ill and had to cancel his lunch at House of Commons with two important officials. 

The same information appeared also in The Times and Daily Mirror. And we know (this time El Paso Harald Post) that at the same time he was healthy enough for a date with Sue. I really don't know why David Cassidy wrote in his book that it was the Queen he didn't want to meet..

I'll write about other articles next time.

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
