Together We're Better /Tony Romeo, Ken Jacobson

 "Together baby we're better
   On our own we're fine but united we're dynamite"

From 'Notebook' album, released in 1972, a song about a boy and a girl, but I've thought about it today in connection with us, David Cassidy's fans. Because we are really better together, especially now. Of course there are still millions of people all around the world who remember DC, his glory days, his music, but I think about those fans who belong to DC groups on social media, and still want to write and read about David Cassidy and his legacy. 

I wouldn't be able to write my blog for so long without the help of other fans. The list of fans who have helped me writing my blog is very long and worth a separate, special entry. No one has ever refused to help me or information, and even a dozen or so people have written for my blog. Every day I feel the support of fans and friendly interest. Thank you.

I love this song, that music scene and David's unhappy face. And his smile at the end of this video.

Together we're better, united. And today is Sunday and I've thought about the time, not so long ago, when fans together were listening to The David Cassidy Show on Seabird Radio. Pauline Tombs 3 years ago wrote for my blog how it was started. Seabird Radio was one of the many local and online radio stations which on request from admin of the David Cassidy Group, played David's music on the 2nd Anniversary, on 21/11/2019.  

Pauline Tombs, "I thanked Seabird Radio, for their support on the day and received a nice email back, that they would be happy to play any request. (..) In January, I was thinking about maybe getting a few tracks of David Cassidy played, for Valentine's Day and thought Hmmm I'll contact Seabird Radio!

Wow! was I glad I did, because Paul who is basically Seabird Radio, came back to me with fabulous offer!. He had an available slot on Sunday evenings, if we would like something permanent! The matter was discussed and due to licencing etc, the show could not be solely David Cassidy, but would be his show with the bulk of the show being his music!

The David Cassidy show was born January/February 2020.

The music played is by request, being sent into Seabird Radio, FB page."

And for 3 years Paul Thomas with Pauline Tombs and later Sandie Leeming's help was doing this show called The David Cassidy show, and fans not only from Europe listened together every Sunday afternoon as David Cassidy's songs  were played on the radio again. Yes, I know, it was just one-person online radio and just a handful of fans listening to it, but nevertheless, it was really something. And also something we took for granted. But last year it was the end of it, and sometimes I miss The David Cassidy Show on a Sunday afternoon.

Once my request was also played. It was so emotional listening to this song on the radio

Thank you Paul, Pauline and Sandie.

  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...
