"I Know These Three Concerts Are Going To Be the Best.."

-

We've been waiting and waiting and suddenly this special week has come. 50 years ago, May 20 was also on Monday. I can imagine this level of excitement, already on Monday, fans waiting for Friday (Glasgow concert), Sunday (London) and Tuesday (Manchester)..or maybe I can't imagine how it was. 

It must have been strange, loving David, and each girl was sure she was the one for him, she was to marry him one day..waiting for his concert, thinking about clothes to wear.. and when the big day came..it must have been disappointment that there were others, thousands of them, all in love, ready to fight for the best place, to be as close to him as possible..

Seeing David in Glasgow, London, Manchester or Sydney, Melbourne or Perth in 1974, it's like being a member of an exclusive club. Sure I'm envious and very grateful for those fans who share their memories with us, those unlucky ones who couldn't see David live for whatever reasons.

David Cassidy arrived to the UK on Thursday, May 23, 1974, but of course a lot of articles were published earlier, building that excitement. On the day DC performed in Glasgow, The Sun had the exclusive interview with him, by Bob Hart. David truly loved St Tropez. "I just loved it - those beautiful women blew my mind completely. I love beautiful women. Just looking at them lifts me up, and St Tropez is a great place for looking..'" He liked Paris too,"I went shopping in the Flea Market in Paris and I got pushed and shoved like everybody else. I'm not very well known in France, and being able to act like a normal human being gave me a taste of what I hope the future will hold in other countries.."

After the last concert David wanted to explore Europe more, and cruising around the Greek Islands in a chatered yacht. He was also planning with Henry Diltz to write and publish a book about his world tour..He said," I just want to write the true story. (..) It will all be in there - the highs, the lows, and the ladies. (..) It will show both sides of me, good and bad."

David was so happy his last concerts were to be in Britain. "I know these three concerts are going to be the best I have ever done, and I'm going to enjoy every minutes of them.."

  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...

  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...
