How To Find Articles On The Official Website Of David Cassidy

-

 

Not a very catchy title, more like a manual not a blog about someone so charismatic and exciting as DC was. Of course for people who everyday use the website and the info gathered there, everything is very easy, especially since Jane changed the main page a few years ago. 

I have my share in it, because when she asked for my opinion, I said that first of all the access to the 'In Print' section should have been much easier. And it is now. 

But maybe first a song. From 'Gettin' It In The Street' album, David Cassidy's version is amazing, the 'original cover', he made a new song out of a Harry Nilsson's rather average number, David's is soulful and full of passion. So exciting..and his voice is pure magic. The Story of Rock and Roll.

So how to find articles on the Official Website of David Cassidy. Our starting point is a homepage, the first page the visitors see when they click and open the website, and it's the central part of it, it guides us through the site. 
First of all we can find there 'menu items'. Everything that has been collected over the years about David Cassidy, about his life and first of all his career.  All that info has been divided into sections, and their names are located at the top of the homepage. 

According to manuals on creating a good website, we have listed too many sections on our main page. But of course it's DC's 'fault', his career was multidimensional, and fans, especially from the US, Australia and Europe, managed to gather tens of thousands varius items.  To say that the collections of the website are priceless and absolutely unique, is to say nothing.

One more song. My car broke down a week ago (it's ok now), and while walking a mile to the nearest shop I've been listening to this song often. '...the kid who bought the wreck..'

So at the top of the homepage we have - Biography, Music, Concerts, Fans, TV/Films/Radio, Theatre, In Print, Photos, Merchandise, Memorabilia and The Band. 

And when we click 'In Print', a whole wonderful world will open for us (if I can put it this way). Books (on David and written by him): Songbooks & Sheet Music ; Magazines ;  DC in Australia In 2002 (a lot of articles) ; Newspapers Articles (those which appeared on traditional newspapers), the first articles about DC are from 1968 ; Web Pages Articles ; Chat Transcripts (with David chatting with fans online and answering their questions) ; Letters From David..and some others, but those are the most important. 

I hope this short manual will be helpful.

The pic is from Songbooks & Sheet Music Section, from the book called The Partridge Family Sound Magazine, with the music and lyrics to all the songs from that album, and some info and pics.

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,...

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...

'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...
