I Was Running The Opposite Way / Irwin Levine and L.Russell Brown

What an amazing and unusual song for Keith Partridge, even for Keith in 1973, because this song is from the Bulletin Board sessions, and was slated for release on that 10th, planned, but later aborted album. The lyrics and David's seductive voice..

Really good quality sound in this video.

This song has been playing in my head today, I don't know who David was thinking about, sure he was thinking about someone, maybe even we can guess her name. Anyway I've been thinking about our Petition of course, and why it's so difficult to make people sign it. Of course I understand that there are fans who don't trust social media, they are not on FB or anywhere, I have such English friends, DC's fans, whom I couldn't convince any way that nothing terrible would happen when they signed.

Also the process of signing itself is a litte bit, can't find the right word, anyway not so simple, you have to confirm your email, and some people can think that paying money is needed. It's not true, you can share the link instead.

Of course we don't know if David Cassidy will get that stone in London, but it still worth trying. The link

Another unreleased gem. One of those songs that really makes you happy.. what a wonderful, great singer David Cassidy was, he could change any song he got, into something special.

He was working so hard, it was a job without a sick leave. He performed with flu, with surgical belt, with broken bones in his foot..He was playing the guitar when he shouldn't because of arthritis. Eyes operation. The show must go on. C'mon Get Happy and a big smile. Millions of handshakes and autographs. And for every fan he met it was the most wonderful occasion, the dream coming true, and he didn't want to disappoint anyone.

I was talking yesterday with one of my English friends, and she told me how in the 80s, she got David Cassidy's signed photograph. At the time my friend belonged to the fan club called The David Cassidy Appreciation Society, known as DCAS. It was run by Katy Leuty. And when in 1985 DC was in London, Katy was in contact with him, and once she announced that if anyone wanted a signed David's photograph, they could write a letter. 

Because David Cassidy was willing to sign photographs for fans, but he wanted to know why they wanted them. And my friend wrote such a letter, she put her whole heart in it, she wrote David how she'd became a fan in the 70's, what his music, that love had meant for her, why he was still so important.. She wasn't sure if she would get the answer, and after some weeks she started losing hope for getting the photograph, But one day a torn envelope arrived..It was 39 years ago, and yesterday I could hear her emotions, love and gratitude..

  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...
