David Cassidy Being Together

What can I say. Dreams Are Nuthin' More Than Wishes, because  3 days ago in conversation with someone on the site I wrote - ' I'd love to ask him (Jay Gruska) about the songs they co-wrote, maybe there were more, how the work on Hard Times  looked like, why the shorter version was chosen, were they friends and met outside the studio, and about music for Ruby. Maybe Louise Poynton will talk with him for the podcast...' Great minds..Amazing. I wonder what Jay Gruska thought when he'd got my email..That DC still had a lot of fans..Yes, of course. Before I write what I think about that conversation, let's listen to one of the songs Jay Gruska has talked about on the podcast, co-wrote by him in the 80s. The country version of that hit.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV6SI14KwpE Of course Louise  asked much more interesting questions than I could have thought about . She is a very experienced journalist, did a lot of interviews, and she is always very well prepeared...

  Or rather Jay Gruska, you've made my day!!! It was just a few days ago when I wrote a blog about the longer lyrics version of Man Undercover's theme song, and that I'd sent an email to Jay Gruska.This is the blog.. https://talkingaboutdavid.blogspot.com/2021/11/david-cassidy-man-undercover.html And this is  my email Dear Sir,  My name is Weronika Cyrynger and I'm David Cassidy's fan from Poland. Since December 2020 I've been writing quite a popular blog on DC and I help with running his Official Site.  I haven't found any info on your site about your collaboration with DC, and co-writing a theme song for the 'Man Undercover' tv series in 1978 . Or about writing with him 'I Never Saw You Coming' for his album 'Gettin' It In The Street' from 1976. I'm especially interested in the 'Hard Times, Hard Crimes' title song for Man Undercover, because I know there is a longer version of it ( lyrics). I know it was so many year...

After all I haven't left David Cassidy and my blog for a few days, but sometimes one's plans change. Anyway, I've just found that there is one more anniversary in that strange and unique month, November. 43 years ago, on November 2th the first episode of Man Undercover was aired, on NBC. With 'Hard Times, Hard Crimes' theme song, wrote by DC and Jay Gruska. Of course this is the same Gruska (interesting if he has Polish roots, the word gruska means a pear in my native language), who wrote with David a song for 'Gettin' It In The Street' album in 1976. This is a version of that song recorded in 1979 and released in 1991. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zs_RFSjwII He was born in 1952, and started his career in 1974, and I'm a little bit confused because on his site we can find that he co-wrote a song for Shaun Cassidy for his platinum album 'Born Late', and that he was a composer, songwriter and record producer for 'Ruby and the Rockits...
