'David Cassidy My Idol And My Favourite Artist'

-

Someone wrote this statement on David Cassidy Group yesterday. Nothing more, not a pic, just those words. And at first it has made me smile, it was a little bit naive and who knows how old this fan was. But it's so true and I've added a comment.'The same'. 

It's not that I only listen to David's songs, I love music, different kinds, but only David's voice can make the trick (if I can put it this way), it makes me feel better or emotional, nostalgic. So yes, he is my favourite singer. Warms my soul..

The fan has written, 'my favourite artist', maybe it's meant just my favourite singer, I don't know, DC was much more than just a singer. He was an artist, in his work and in his life. I've been thinking about it watching the newest update on the David Cassidy Official Website. DC taking part in The American Theatre Wing "Working in the theatre seminar'. September 1993, when DC was performing in 'Blood Brothers' on Broadway.

This video doesn't have many 'likes', and I wonder how many fans watched it. Of course I understand, it's long, watching it requires a good knowledge of English and some patience, DC was one of the performers, one of the invited guests. In audience there were students and people interested in the theatre. That seminar wasn't for random people. But it's worth watching it very carefully and see a different face of David Cassidy.

What does it mean being an actor..Why commitment, responsibility and learning are the key words for a good performer. Work in the theatre. An actor and his audience, to what extent does the spectator influence the actor in the theatre. How long does it take to get into the role..What it's like to replace someone who played a character. The acting process. 

Erin Sullivan, my FB friend, has written in her comment, 'What a valuable and rare piece to have in DC collection.' Very well said. Watching David in conversation with other performers (among them was also Petula Clark) is an amazing experience. I have an impression that being invited was very important for him, and like no other guest, he was very aware of the audience. It was a great opportunity to share his viewes on acting with people who could really understand him. He was fascinating, the things he said and the way he said, gesticulation..his hands also took part in this amazing conversation.

When he was listening to other guests he kept playing with his crest ring, maybe playing is not the right word, but you know what I mean. What a shame, a tragedy really, that a few years later  someone stolen it. David lost not only the last link connecting him with his father, but something more. 

Something completely irreplaceable.

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
