David Cassidy Being Together

From The Official David Cassidy Magazine.  Let's start with a song. Peggy Clinger and Johnny Cymbal wrote 2 songs for the second David Cassidy's album. Both quite similar to each other.. Wes Farrell had his share in that number.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upQtZYheaz0 "you are my morning sunshine..you keep my mind from sleepin' all day.." Oh yes, definitely sometimes there are days that his music makes such a difference. Improves mood, fights stress, a kind of therapy. I wasn't a fan in the 70s, but I've read and heard a lot of stories how David and his music helped to cope with stress. My friend C. has told me that her life was a nightmare when she was a teen, and her only happy moments were when she could lock herself in her room and listen to DC music.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEhWktAlF-U   I can swear that listening to David's music is better for my blood preassure and heart, than the pills I have to take every day.  But let's retu...

I've been fighting with an awful virus since Sunday, today has been the first better day, and I've gone to our town to do some shopping, mostly for my residents, one stray and some other cats from the neighborhood, who for whatever reason like visiting me. I was always a dog person, and I'm not a fan of cats, but that's the way it is. It was very nice to drive again and listen to David's music in my car. And today I've been listening to this..and ..wow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRstVQzSf_Y What an extraordinary, exciting performer David Cassidy was. What a great album 'Cassidy Live!' is. It was recorded during his concerts in the UK, in 1974, and released in Germany, Japan, the USA, Brazil, Spain, Yugoslavia, France, Austria, Australia, and the UK where peaked at #9 on August 3, 1974. The single from that album became number 16 in July, 49 years ago. My younger daughter has told me once that although she had heard 'Please, Please Me' by Th...

I've been thinking all day long if I should write about it. We can't pretend that it doesn't concern us..But I'm not going to publish it on any group. It started yesterday morning. There is something we fans love doing online, talking about David, very often using present tense, like he was still alive. We discuss if we like him more with his natural brown hair or with blond. How tall he really is/was. The colour of his eyes. We admire different parts of his body. We search for rare pics, and we edit them, often removing other people from those pics. They are not really important, or the context. Only David. Some of us use photoshop..a lot. Sometimes there are fake sexy pics where only David's head is real.. Don't get me wrong. Maybe I don't use photoshop but I post pics too and I take part in those discussions. We love David Cassidy and since November 2017 we don't have a lot of new materials. And we want to have fun too. Why not? So yesterday morning t...

Today is the 4th of July and it's made me think how much about America I've learnt because of David Cassidy.  For the first 27 years of my life I lived in the communist Poland, and the USA was our enemy. My knowledge about the country, even its history or literature was very limited.  As a result of very unusual coincidence, in 1985 I spent one month in West Germany. It was like being on a different planet, science fiction really for me, everything was different, I felt like everybody knew I was from East Europe, my clothes, the tension and fear on my face, I was pale and little malnourished, I had no idea how to behave, even in the store.  Anyway, one day I went on my own from Dortmund to Cologne (by train). I was very proud of myself and went to the tourist information office situated near the Cathedral. It was cold that day, the middle of December, I just wanted to get warm.  And at one moment the door opened and the group of young Americans came..maybe 3 boys and...

This is from the article published on The David Cassidy Official Website with the date May 30, 1976. I think that interview is from 1975, it's not so important, also that some info are not right. The things David said, and the journalist's attitude are interesting. https://www.davidcassidy.com/fansite/InPrintPages/News1976May30_Green_Bay_Press_Gazette_Part2.pdf Why it was so important for him to explain everybody that he wasn't Keith Partridge? Of course a lot of little girls in 1970, 1971, or even 1972 could have thought David was like his alter ego, good and nice boy next door. A boy who didn't smoke, drink, and never heard about drugs and sex. David was so sorry for himself because of it, that sometimes spoke untruths. For example in 1973 he could record what he wanted, and without Wes Farrell. Don't get me wrong, I just want to understand.  He said, "Today I have a lot of things, but I do not have the years that I spent working 18 hours a day, when other ki...

'Storybook Love', from 'Notebook', released in November 1972, co-wrote by Wes Farrell and Adam Miller, this mysterious singer and songwriter, who did one album for Wes, wrote some songs recorded by David Cassidy ('Blind Hope', 'I Lost My Chance', 'Where Is The Morning', 'Soft As a Summer Shower', 'Song Of Love'), and for The Partridge Family ('As Long As You're There')..and disappeared.  David probably didn't value those songs very much, he wrote about 'Soft As A Summer Shower' and 'Song Of Love' from 'Rock Me Baby album : "..they were Wes Farrell aditions to the album, in an effort to try to lock me into The Partridge Family bag." (David Cassidy : 'Could It Be Forever?', 2007, p.220) And whatever he thought about 'Storybook Love' himself, like always gave 100% of his talent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp1oWApvGMY So charming..I thought about this song while reading...

I've promised, so here it is. The things we do for love..Me writing short stories in English, amazing. But this short story is important for me, writing it has been a kind of therapy. Completely fictional, but with some real elements. I once took care of my uncle's dog and he (the dog) nearly died while with me, and in the early 70s my beautiful aunt married a wealthy Italian engineer. And I was in Rome in January (1980), also some other things are true. And who knows what adventures, conversations and meetings David Cassidy experienced in Europe, in 1972. It was a special, magical and unique holiday for him.. 'Gustavo! Gustavo!' It was supposed to be loud and decisive, but she was fighting back her tears, her voice was hoarse. All the misery, stress, and yes, also anger, everything she experienced during the last three weeks, all those feelings she had been trying so hard to hide, suddenly they found the way, and she started sobbing in the middle of that deserted park....
