Those Were The Days..

-

I'm still on a holiday at the seaside, actually going home tomorrow, and yesterday like all of the other fans, all around the world I was remembering David Cassidy on the seventh painful anniversary.

When I arrived in Turkey last Saturday, I thought to myself that this year's anniversary would be different for me, I even wrote a very positive entry about it. Let's remember David with a smile and joy.. Sunshine and C'mon Get Happy. But when the day came, it was Crying In the Rain for me, and not just because actually it was raining yesterday.

Yes, it was really hard. Of course for us David is still 'alive', we write about him every day, using the present tense, we admire his pics, listen to his music, his songs for us sound like they were recorded only a moment ago..

Yesterday a lot of remembering posts were published, some very beautiful, some not, but all made with love and sadness. There were pics from St Giles church in London. One fan went to Saratoga..But our collective love then and now couldn't change David's fate, his destiny. And we were crying yesterday, remembering him and those wonderful years when we were young and he was with us. 

Sam Hyman's post was the most meaningful yesterday (great thanks for Denise Ames for sharing it) and as we know it was written for us, David fans. The pic, David so young, in this famous T-shirt, and those words, from Mary Hopkin old hit.

'Those were the days my friend, we'd thought they never end..'

We'll cherish those years forever.

  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...
