'Chasin' After Rainbows I May Never Find Again'

Of course we all know there is no chance for rainbows, nevertheless we keep trying. So we met in London again.. Filmed in Syon Park, London, 53 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM8Huok8jGI&list=RDXM8Huok8jGI&start_radio= I was in the same place in August 2018. This time it was a very short stay, I came on Tuesday (Sep 8), left on Thursday (Sep 10). Fans were supposed to meet up on September 9th, to take a part, or better say witness the unveling of David Cassidy's Stone in Camden, in London. As we all know, at the very last moment the event was cancelled again. Some fans from afar didn't stand a chance to call off planes, trains or hotels without money loss.  So some decided to come. From abroad, like me from Poland, or Carolyn (the US) or Janet (Germany), or like Maya who lives rather far from London (Wales). And of course Sharron came and some fans and good  friends from our Great Britain group. Filmed in Clapham Common, London, 41 years ago https://www.yout...

Completely by chance, yesterday night I watched a documentary from 2012, called 'Freddie Mercury : The Great Pretender'. It was on our TV. And actually very interesting, because a lot was said about Freedie Mercury's attempt to forge a solo career. There were interviews with Montserrat Caballe (1933 - 2018), some unknown for me footage, and never heard demos with Rod Stewart and Michael Jackson.  We all know how great performer Freddie was, I always get chills watching Queen at Live Aid in 1985, but he was also a great musician. Anyway at one moment a video of Freddy in the familiar decorations appeared. Freddie on stage at the Dominion Theatre, in Time. At the first moment I thought it was David Cassidy, it was so unexpected, and I know DC's pics and 'Time' footage with him so well.. Of course Freddie Mercury didn't perform in 'Time'. He recorded 2 songs for 'Time' concept album, and the video for the title song was made on the stage at the ...

Together We're Better / Tony Romeo, Ken Jacobson

From 'The Partridge Family Notebook' album, released in November 1972, the first by The Partridge Family not to reach the Top 40. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ieKGyHir3U&list=RD_ieKGyHir3U&start_radio=1 So charming and uplifting, makes me think about sunny, innocent days of my childhood. Fun and joy. Tony Romeo's one more masterpiece. I've chosen this song for today's blog not because I feel under the weather or sad, but I thought about it yesterday when I read that the event on 9th September was postponed again. That again David Cassidy would not get his so deserved stone. It's not only deserved but also founded by fans. And it was a lot of money.  Maybe one more song from Notebook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfKv4VK_Itk&list=RDlfKv4VK_Itk&start_radio=1 I decided to go to London for 9 September ceremony about a month ago. And believe me it wasn't an easy decision, I have a lot of responsibilities and some health problems.  From the s...
