 Maybe a song first.

Am I looking for a good time? Yes, if it means going to London again and have a lot of emotional conversations, talking for hours, not only about DC, everything, but all will be because of him.

Oh yes, whatever fans think about Sue Shiffrin, David recorded this song because of her. Cher had a hit with this song 2 years back (or something like that), but he wanted to sing a duet with his wife. That's my own opinion of course.

I've told my neighbour I'm going to London and she said, 'Why? Sightseeing? Have you got friends there?', and we both smiled and wonder how everything changed. 15 years ago she would have said, 'How fabulous! You've got work there!' Millions of Poles were working at the time in the UK doing poorly paid jobs. But not now.

I haven't told her about David Cassidy, she is much younger and besides I've never met a Pole who heard about DC. But yes, I have special friends there.

I once have talked about London with a very wealthy Polish woman who actually had been living and working in London for 10 years (she returned to Poland after Brexit), and she has told me that during those years she made some friends, but was never invited to an English private house. And I smiled and told her that I was invited to my friends' houses and shown everything from cellar to the roof..She couldn't believe it.

Yes, and I will again. Actually D. was the first DC's fan I met in person. It was in August 2018. We were to meet with others outside Syon Park, but because she lived in London (other girls were from other parts of the UK), we arranged to meet at the tube station near Science Museum. That was so emotional, people looked at us in wonder..two middle aged women, one black, one white hugging and screaming and laughing..two lost sisters who reunited after many years. After that first time we met again and again and we'll meet tomorrow..at her house.

Yes, all because of David..

Robyn Millan

  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...
