The Entry Number 900

-

Let's start with a song. I've listened to it in my car in the morning and I think it's a perfect song for celebrating the entry number 900 of my blog.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiIrTJOLquU

It's just a number, but it's amazing really, 900 entries after 4 years of writing about David Cassidy, his music, his life, his legacy and about his fans. 

Why I write? I know why and when I started, it was David's 'fault'. I thought quite a lot about writing a blog in the fall of 2020, but it was just an idea, nothing more, but on December 22nd when I actually started it, I didn't think about DC at all.

It was one of the worst days of my life, I was sitting later in my room in a kind of stupor, it was midnight, snow was falling heavily outside, and I couldn't even bring myself to take off my coat. And in one moment I looked at this pic you can see today, it was (and still is) on my bedroom wall, and suddenly I heard a voice in my head, 'Get up and start writing a blog'. And I did, and you have no idea how it helped.

Why I write? I don't know really, it became a part of my life, and something I love doing and it's never been an obligation. There is always something to write about. David's music, his acting career, his ups and downs, his website, his fans, what we do to keep his legacy alive, what we can learn from him. How he inspires us, even now. 'Do what you love doing, no matter what others say..'

Why I write? I've talked with my old school friend once, and she couldn't believe that I write a blog. "You hated writing anything at school. Your esseys were always the shortest! You even never had a diary! And why writing about a singer no one never heard about?" David Cassidy is unknown in my country. I answered that people had different hobbies and mine was David. Just like that. I'm a fan. That's all.

900 entries and over 236 000 views. Thank you to everyone who reads, comments. the support is very important. Thank you to those who wrote for my blog or gave me an interview. Sharron, Pauline, Sandie, Encarni, Lanie, Erin, Doreen, Wendy, Marjon, Mary, Barb, Marijke, Lynne, Laurie, Judy. And many others who shared their stories with me. About meeting David Cassidy in person, seeing him in concert or just about how he's changed their lives. Thank you. 

I've been trying not to write about David Cassidy's private life, but the most popular entry I've ever written is the one about Kay Lenz.

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...
