That Sparkle In Her Eyes..'

-

Just a short entry today, I'm on holiday at the seaside (hot and sunny) but this story is soo good and uplifting.

My son-in-law was in Florida during the US election, as an observer, he is young but an authority on an election process, anyway he was invited. And he had some time for sightseeing and as he is 'a book' person (like all in my family) he visited a lot of bookstores and a public library (I don't know exactly where).

There were a lot of books to buy, very cheap, and he was browsing and chatting with a middle aged librarian. My son-in-law is 34, and he talks with everyone and everywhere. They were talking about the US and Europe, and literature, and at one moment he asked (he had no idea why, actually), 'By the way, have you got anything about David Cassidy?'

At first the woman just stared at him, but suddenly there was that sparkle in her eyes, and she looked 20 years younger, 'Oh, David..No, sadly we don't have anything..but why??'

And he told her everything. About his crazy mother-in-law, her blog, her bedroom full of DC's pics, and about fans, the Las Vegas Star, about our friendship, love and light..you know.

Later a much younger librarian approached them, wanted to know what they were so happy about. She also heard about David, and for a couple of minutes they remembered him, and they parted as the best friends.

He told me,'if you could have seen that sparkle in her eyes..'

  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...
