From Australia With Love.

-

Or 'Love Must Be the Answer', I've been struggling today for the right title for that amazing story about one David's fan from Australia. A lot of us know it of course, but I'm sure there are some new (and old) fans, who never heard about Lyn and that she won the 'Hard Quiz'.

But first a song. I've just had a short holiday at the Polish seaside, 3 days of doing nothing, only reading, walking, and sitting on the beach, and listening to David's music. It's such a pleasure to look at the sea and listen to DC's voice. His songs sound even better.

Someone wrote in comment 3 months ago, 'This song is absolutely stunning!' Oh yes. Everything about this song is stunning, but first of all, young David Cassidy's interpretation.  He was smiling in the music scene from The Partridge Family, but that lyrics is  heartbreaking. Just listen to this recording altered to reflect David's true voice. It's so incredibly moving.

Let's return to Lyn from Australia (she changed her name later to Lynne). Actually she is from Magnetic Island, and I've had a look in Wikipedia where it is, and what a beautiful place!

I wrote a lot with Lyn on the David Cassidy Website in 2018. At the time I was still a new fan and knew just basic facts about DC, and Lyn was so nice and kind, we share some stories about being a fan, she told me a lot about DC in Australia, and I remember so well when she took part in that TV show. That was something incredible, to tell the whole world about her love for David Cassidy, I admired her knowledge, but first of all her courage. And she not only won it, and even the host was impressed at the end, but Lyn also did something amazing. She reminded the Australians of David Cassidy.

This episode was watched in Australia by 630 000 people.

It was aired 5 years ago. On September 25th, 2019.

I've watched it again today with the same admiration for that wonderful woman. Thank you again Lyn. David would have been so proud of you..

  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...
