Any Dream Will Do/ Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice.

Sharron Liddle, Wendy Copeland and Gillian Priestley, the administrators of The David Cassidy Great Britain Legacy Group, yesterday were in Edinburgh, in Scotland.  In the morning they saw (visited) David Cassidy's plaque at the Edinburgh Playhouse, it's on one of the seats, with those words,
"In Memory Of David Cassidy who performed here 1985 & 2002. Forever Missed and Loved. By his Devoted Fans".

I'm in awe of what Sharron Liddle and the members of the Group have achieved, what they have done to commemorate David Cassidy in the UK. Great ideas, determination, a lot of time and also money, but first of all love for David.

In the evening, at the same Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre (btw it was opened in 1929, and it's the second largest theatre in the UK after the Hammersmith Apollo), they saw 'Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' with...Donny Osmond as a Pharaoh. And what's more they met Donny before and after the show. You can see pics from that amazing Edinburgh's visit on the David Cassidy Great Britain Legacy Group.

What can I say. Reading about it, seeing another David Cassidy's plaque, the pics with Donny Osmond..it's been very emotional and of course I keep listening today to 'Any Dream Will Do'.

David Cassidy played 'Joseph' from March until September 1983, and later toured USA and Canada. Actually 41 years ago, on December 6, David performed in that show, in Toronto, Canada.

'Joseph' was David Cassidy's great success. He was invited to many TV programes, there was also a lot of press reviews. DC was praised for his voice, charisma, stage presence, knowledge how to work the audience, his acting skills, even for his sex-appeal. One critic, Tom Carter, noticed, "Cassidy is a strong Las Vegas-style performer with a voice to match his stage presence"

2 years ago, my FB friend Judy West, wrote for us about seeing David Cassidy on Broadway, in 1983. Thank you Judy so much.

  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...
