Thank you. I think I saw on Twitter that the 12 hours are going to be saved in 2-hour segments so that people can replay or catch parts they missed.

A great idea. The first birthday — family has already had the first difficult holidays.
A happy commemoration of the talent, am sure, will be the result of Timm’s tribute.

  I no longer feel the need to comment. Is a very tight sight that if yo are not part of the crowd no one answers sorry for that. I’ve traveled the world and have never felt more locked out.

Every April 12 for years to come should be David Cassidy Day. The celebration of David Cassidy legacy, should continue in his memory.
Debbie Mackey on April 3, 2018 at 1:23 am said:

Fantastic! Wish they would release an album on the anniversary of his passing., Him singing the old standards. He was wonderful singing “Cry”, Since I fell for you”, “As time goes by”, etc. He was so talented in so many ways. So loved and missed.
Weronika Cyrynger on April 3, 2018 at 8:37 am said:

Yes, it should be a special day.
November 21, always be a day of mourning, but let’s make April 12 a day of joy and gratitude for all HE has done.

I hope David can get more lasting recognition for his musical work – what’s happening with the petition to get David on the rock ‘n’ roll hall of fame? But even if it never happens, which it should, David had mentioned he didn’t care about this anymore! Timm’s radio day for David is a lovely idea, and on David’s birthday. I hope everything goes well for David’s fans when they go to the Saratoga race track. Bet it will be fun – I would love to see the horses, too!
Denice Kirth on April 3, 2018 at 9:15 pm said:

Hi Claire, I always like your posts, I don’t think the horses will be racing than, I think the museum will be open and of course the celebration, of the benches in David’s memory. I can see why David stopped caring about the rock roll hall of fame, he deserved it all and got jipped, but the one that really, really counts is, David Cassidy had his fans, that’s forever, and that’s what counts. I’m looking forward to Saratoga, in the back of my mind, I’m saying hello and goodbye to David at his favorite place. Not goodbye to his memory and all the good he left us, just a goodbye as to he went home to the Lord. I think Sian understood, I do have my life, and David had his, but from early on he became my favorite star,than I met him so many times, and Sian you are right, difficult, and because David was so special to the world, and just the best. I said in a different post, we need a David Cassidy Day, and such a thank you to Timm, it is happening, Timm, David inspired you, and your success you are sharing, with many returns, and doing this for David and us fans, Is there someway April 12 can just permently be David Cassidy Day?
- Sian Steed on April 4, 2018 at 1:31 pm said:
  
  Take a big box of tissues with you (to Saratoga). It’s fantastic – what Timm’s doing. So lovely discovering all the effects David’s had. We don’t underestimate David; that’s for certain… Sian

I love this! Thank you so much. April 12th was always my favorite day of the year as Ive away had David in my ❤since I was 12.
Weronika Cyrynger on April 6, 2018 at 6:30 am said:

12 hours of his music.
I listen to David’s songs every day and some of them make me smile and happy and some make me cry like e.g. “It’ s over” , so heartbreaking.
His voice, many tried to describe- warm, clear,touching,moving,seductive but also so strong. He
could sing just everything .
Im looking forward to April 12 to listen to all these amazing songs in Timm’s interpretation.

Thank you so much for playing David’s music on his birthday. This will be a great help for family,friends and fans. I miss his messages on the website. There is a big sadness in my heart that he is not here for his birthday but keep telling myself like many others because his body and mind let him down early in life but now he is out of pain and in peace. I do hope he can look down on all of us and be able to hear your show in heaven.Angela uk

Kelly on April 8, 2018 at 12:11 am said:

I love this idea. I’ve been wondering if there were any plans for David’s birthday this year. It’s hard to believe that it will soon be five months since our beloved David went to Heaven to be with the Lord. Pretty soon, it will be six months. That’s half a year! I have been doing my best to stay upbeat, and go on with life as usual, but there’s this lingering sadness that I just can”t seem to get over. It still feels like a bad dream that I can’t wake up from. I have been watching reruns of The Partridge Family on FETV on Saturday and Sunday mornings. While it’s great to see this show again, it also makes me sad. The excitement I had when Nick At Night aired PF reruns back in 1993 just doesn’t seem to be there now. I told my Mom about this and said it’s either because David died, or it’s just because I’ve gotten older. She said it could be a little of both. Don’t get me wrong! I still love the show, and I still think David Cassidy is beyond adorable. But there’s a difference between watching PF reruns back in 1993, and watching them now. I know there are David Cassidy fans who are older than me who love David as much as I do, It seems that no matter what your age is, once you’ve developed a crush on David Cassidy, you don’t get over it. But the sadness of losing him makes watching The Partridge Family bittersweet. Can anybody else relate to what I’m saying? I hope I’m making sense.
- Sian Steed on April 8, 2018 at 12:29 am said:
  
  You’re making perfect sense. I should think the vast majority of fans will understand. Endings are sad. I am really looking forward to Timm’s wonderful effort but it is going to be so emotional and just like being my young teenage self, again – overwhelming. Sian

Kelly I totally understand what you mean, I never thought I could miss someone so much who I never met. I’m so glad there are so many others who feel the same. Miss you David xxx
Kelly on April 8, 2018 at 11:34 pm said:

The Lawrence Welk Show was on PBS last night, and their theme was “April Showers.” One of the songs they did was “April Love. I always think of David Cassidy when I hear this song because he was born in April. Pat Boone recorded this beautiful song back in 1957. And for those of you who don’t know this, Shirley Jones was in the 1957 film of the same name. Just thought I’d share!
Gail on April 10, 2018 at 3:09 am said:

Also on April 12, on the insp network, they will show David’s Bonanza, The Law and Billy Burgess. Thanks to Jane for the Facebook update.
Gaby on April 10, 2018 at 11:04 am said:

Kelly I understand. I have the same feelings, when I watch my PF-DVD’s. On one hand I enjoy it on the other hand ist really sad and sometimes my eyes are in tears or I have to cry a little. I never thougt I could miss David Cassidy so sadly. I didn’t know him personally and never had the chance to see him in concert. But listen to his music at the moment is like a knife in my heart. I will never never never forget him. And Thank you so much Timm. This is going to be wonderful
Claire Ronan on April 10, 2018 at 11:09 am said:

I was pleased to see David was honoured at the Olivier Awards in London – it is for serious work in musical theatre and the stage. David did appear with great success in the UK in the West End of London in ‘Blood Brothers.’ I hope eventually David will go on to get more recognition for his work and feel sure he will.
- sheila owens on April 13, 2018 at 12:56 pm said:
  
  I hope so too Claire. He truly deserves to be recognised for his work in musical theatre, stage, film and songwriting. What talent he had. I miss him so much.

Is the celebration of David’s life, a facebook join in, or is this event also at Saratoga. Help me understand, thank you,

Claire Ronan on April 10, 2018 at 11:00 pm said:

They showed the film – Four Weddings and a Funeral’ last Friday in the UK which includes Hugh Grant’s line – “In the words of David Cassidy, before he left the Partridge Family, I think I love you.’ David was so pleased with this, that the line said ‘before he left the Partridge Family,’ at the time, he wrote the director Richard Curtis and his wife Emma Feud a thank you letter.
- Sian Steed on April 10, 2018 at 11:26 pm said:
  
  That’s hilarious and really sweet at the same time. I heard the film’s theme song – live – in Aberdeen (resonating all the way down a very long street). I loved that sentence, too; it kind of sums up the film. Glad you gave us that one, Claire… Sian

Tim thank you so much for planning a David Cassidy day on his birthday. I will be listening
but it will be very emotional for all his fans. We are all so lucky to have grew up from our teens right through David,s lifetime. So lets celebrate and remember the difference and all the happiness he brought us through the years. He was a very talented man and cared so much for his fans. Each of us have our own special memories of him and his legacy will live on through his music. He will never be forgotten.
Miss you David x Isabel N. Ireland.
Weronika Cyrynger on April 11, 2018 at 5:16 pm said:

Maybe it’s sentimental and yes I’m middle-aged ,but tomorrow is April,12 , a special day for David’s fans.

“If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane
I would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken , no time to say “Goodbye”
You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why
My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow
What it meant to love you no one can ever know
Since you never be forgotten I pledge to you today
A hollowed place within my heart is where you ‘ll always stay” (Author unknown)

Christine French on April 11, 2018 at 8:04 pm said:

Such a terrific film, I watched it and waited with baited breath for those immortal words!! (This also meant that David was mentioned at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics which was a totally amazing surprise!). David is always there in my heart in my busy life, my stressful job in the NHS and with the joy of family and friends, a sadness in my heart. Of course, over the past few days with David’s impending birthday, he had been at the forefront of my mind. Many of you will understand exactly how I feel. Yesterday evening I dug out one of my DC files, this one about David’s UK visit in 1972 and UK concert tour in 1973, where I saw David for the very first time just magical, wonderful memories. Sending love to you in Heaven, David, you will always be in my heart. Christine of Sussex

D ‘s for the day that we’re anticipating
A ‘s for the angel who we’re celebrating
V is for velvet voice; rainbow-like; shimmering
I ‘s for imagine the passion that’s simmering
D ‘s for denial that it could be over
C ‘s for us counting our “summers of clover”*
A ‘s for the actor who gave it his all
S is for smiling on our bedroom wall
S is for soul that’s transcended his end
I ‘s for the internet – fan becomes friend
D ‘s for divine like a light that he’s shone…
Y ‘s for you – David – you cannot be gone

Dear Jane & the team, firstly i want to thank you for all your hard work that you have put in over the years in running this fantastic website. It is even more of a lifeline now for us who love our beloved David & who miss him terribly. I will write another post tomorrow on his special day, but here is a message for his fans who have not seen a message left by Doreen on his Facebook page. Tomorrow on David’s birthday,between 7am & 11am (British Time), DJ’s Mike Read & Tony Prince will be playing several of David’s songs. It is an online radio station, so again I think anyone in the world should be able to get it. http://www.uniteddj.com is the link. Also I am looking forward to Timm’s broadcast too tomorrow, for British listeners that will start at 6 pm in the evening. Can someone kindly reply Teresa Oxtoby on David’s Facebook page to tell her that all David’s TV programmes, etc. are available to watch on this website. I would reply her myself , but although I can go to David’s page & read stuff, i haven’t got a facebook account to reply people! Lastly, i have spent most of today viewing all things David on the net. Just seen a YouTube video of David arriving at London Airport & being interviewed by Tony Blackburn (around 1973/74), talking about his forthcoming tour dates, which i was lucky enough to go to one at the White City Stadium in April 74. David wore a white suit & looked unsurprisingly amazing. He then sang the Puppy Song & Daydreamer, & my heart just flipped. This was the first time that i have been able to listen & watch David in full since the awful day, in November last year. Have tried to listen to his music & watch his videos before today, but just couldn’t as the tears began to flow. Even just thinking about him on many occasions have reduced me to tears, don’t know how i will cope tomorrow though! I am feeling teary now as i write this. Happy Birthday for tomorrow Darling David, so talented, so lovely, so hardworking, so sensitive, so deeply missed. We your fans will love you forever. Love Adeola, in the United Kingdom.

I will think of David’s band on his birthday – I know they are all incredibly talented musicians to have kept up with David! I expect Craig, (keyboards) Dave, Frank (Guitars) and Teri (Drums and singer) are all involved in their musical and artistic work, but must miss David very much. (Of course, David’s fans will already know of them and what instruments they all play!) Teri is really unusual – it is very hard to become a professional female drummer even in this day and age.

And thanks for wishing Felicia and I a safe trip, don’t think we’re leaving you out, or anyone here, we will post on a daily basis, and let know what’s happening.

David’s birthday date has been mentioned on my local radio station – and “How Can I Be Sure?” played – along with an acknowledgement that David was probably underrated becuse of his teen idol looks…

Took the day off to listen to Timm’s 12 hour tribute starting at 6pm tonight uk time. However just went in to bookmark the site for later and the 2 hr slots are all available already. Listening now. Really improved my day!So grateful to Timm for this. Wonderful.
I wish we could do give something back for all the love a light David shared with us. I was thinking that an annual DC day to raise funds for support and research into dementia would be really appropriate. Imagine how good it would feel to conquor the illness that took our best boy from us! Don’t know how we’d start but would love to throw myself into something so positive!
Enjoy the music fest everyone! Blessings to Timm for his gift of today!

  Sian & all fans, have just checked Timm’s website. Timmy’s show is not live it’s pre -recorded, so it’s up & running now. We don’t have to wait for a specific time for the shows to start. He must have changed his mind about it being live. I am getting ready to shed more tears now as I start to listen. Cried this morning as I listened to the uniteddj radio shows. Happy Birthday Dearest David, love you, Adeola.

Thank You Timm I have listened to the first 2 hours of your radio show which was wonderful,I cannot thank you enough it was bitter sweet for me I now realise my,favourite singer,entertainer ,has gone forever I will never see him again…….the reality for me has now set in,right now I am in tears that he is no longer with us,happy for what he gave us,and at the same time he never got out of the entertainment business what he did deserve,everything he chose to do he had to fight tooth and nail and in my opinion he still did not get the recognition he so deserved.I am leaving the rest of the shows till a later time because I am so upset,but once again thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Happy Birthday darling David! There will never, ever be anyone like you again. Thank you for sharing your immense talent with all of us and your beautiful, fun, kind spirit, you spread so light and love around to all of us. I am so lucky that I was able to live during many of the same years that you did and know you through your music, concerts, shows and TV, even though I never met you in person. You will always be a part of my life and my memories and I’ll continue to enjoy your music. And Timm, thank you so much for putting this wonderful tribute together to celebrate David. What a fantastic job! I’ve listened to about 4 hours so far and will listen to the rest in the next couple of days and go back to listen again. I’m just amazed as to the amount and quality of David’s musical legacy, he is truly one of the great entertainers.

I’ve been thinking about David all day today. Since it’s the first birthday of his since his death, he’s been in my thoughts quite a bit.

Happy birthday in Heaven, dear David. You are so missed here on Earth. Mere words cannot express the love I and so many others have for you in our hearts, nor can words express how much we miss you. We are all dealing with this as best we can, and the only thing comforting about this is knowing that you are no longer suffering. Until we meet in Heaven, Happy Trails.

Adeola on April 13, 2018 at 9:44 am said:

Phew! What an emotional rollercoaster the past couple of days have been for us David fans! We all think of David all the time anyway, but the build up to his birthday, wow! Can guess that the amount of tears shed by fans worldwide over the past few days could fill oceans. United dj radio station, Timm McCoy, reading all the posts here left by fans, l’m an emotional wreck! David at times was perplexed by all the attention he received, & didn’t think he was worthy of it. But David from above now,must realise how loved he is!
Timmy’s broadcast, I have only just finished listening to the first 4 hours, but found some gems. Have always loved ‘January by Pilot’, heard David’s version, absolutely gorgeous. Love ‘Blackbird by the Beatles’, heard David’s version, oh crikey, could go on & on about all songs. Also, how funny listening to original 70’s recordings, you know all the words! Rock me Baby, reminded me of Jackie Manning, my secondary school friend, who used to sing it to me & bring a smile to my face back then.
Timm said he hopes to do something ever year on David’s birthday in the future. Thanks Timm.
Yesterday i linked up my computer to the TV & watched in full screen from this website, the ironside episode which starred David, when he was 19. He looked so cute, a star in the making! Really so lucky to have this website to view all this stuff. Thanks Jane & the team, can’t thank you enough.
Lastly, with all the emotion & excitement off the last few days, we have rather neglected two important people. Evelyn Ward & Jack Cassidy, 68 years ago you must have been cradling & looking at your new baby in awe. Could you have realised then what a lovely person he would become? Thanks for bringing him into the world. Love to all the Cassidy/Ward families in this life & the next. Adeola.

  That was really a great post , you’ve written what I think too. and so moving
  you ‘ve remembered David’s parents.
  Timm McCoy, that was just amazing, the order in which the songs were played,great sound, respect, I mean every song was played to the last note , his comments – personal memories and important data, It was made so professionally but it was also a work of a great fan. And he’s showed us (and the world) what amazing legacy David Cassidy has left. I mean I know a lot of these songs, most by heart, but while I was listening to them , thought that his music is really from other world, and even the oldest songs sound so fresh, clear ,pure, moving , like was recorded only yesterday(I read somewhere such opinion but it’s so true)

    Hi Weronika,
    Although I have been visiting this website on & off for several years now, April 11th was the first time i had ever contributed a post. I had to do it in honour of David, & now I can’t stop as I have so much to say, & have to reply you lovely people who have left comments on my posts! From just the last few days alone, have got to know you from Poland, Sian from Scotland, Isabel from Ireland, Sandra from Sydney, Australia. The list goes on & on. I’m Adeola, born & bred in London, now living in Suffolk, England. David has brought so many people together from all over the world & from different cultures. More people like that are needed to unite people in this troubled world, where people don’t want to get on with one another!
    For all future posters, please mention where you live, ’cause it’s nice to see how far & wide the fans are.
    Weronika, did you ever get to see David live? I did 3 times. The first in March ’73,during that wonderful weekend at Wembley for his fans. I went to a secondary school of 2000 plus girls & as you can imagine there were David fans of all ages. I was 12 at the time, i enjoyed the concert wasn’t really emotional at all. But i went to the Sunday evening show, arriving at school the next day however in the morning before classes, i met up with another fan, Dilys, who was two years older than me. She had been to the Friday show, & she told me that when David sat down on the stage & began singing ‘I am a Clown’ she started to cry. I was laughing at her, but as soon as i saw some other of my friends (who were not fans), but wanted to know what the concert was like, i just burst into tears! It eventually hit me that i had seen David Cassidy in the flesh! I cried everywhere & anywhere for at least 2 months after that concert anything set me of! I remember my favourite song at the time was ‘Some kind of a Summer’, & going home after school & playing it to death & thinking David was singing it to me, & me crying even more! I can laugh about it now, but all these years later crying over David again, some things never change. Wonder where my old mate Dilys is now, & whether she feels the same way!
    The next year went to his concert at The White City Stadium, l had matured to the grand old age of 13, didn’t cry. Remember leaving the venue after the show & seeing all these beautiful girls crying over David, & thinking if these girls are crying over him, what chance have i got with him! So never really cried over him again…….Until 2002,went to see him at The Hammersmith Apollo. He was totally amazing, his voice was strong ,great & he looked gorgeous too. I remember before the show started, me & my friend went to the ladies room ’cause we had arrived early. But by the time we came out, the foyer was packed with people, & a sold out sign had been plastered on the door! We let out a gasp when we saw all the people, it was really nice. Chatting with fellow fans before the show started we were all grown up no longer kids. David’s fans are all so nice & friendly, just like all the fans who have contributed here. I am not ashamed to say that after the show, arriving back home after midnight (as i was no longer living in London), i cried even though i was a grown woman!
    That was the last time i saw David in the flesh, & don’t i regret not going to see him more.
    As we all know several years later, his life took a turn for the worse. He was upset by certain things, & he didn’t get the support/help he needed. True fans will know what i mean. If ever a person should have had & happy, long & healthy life. That person should have been David.
    Writing these posts have been a godsend, ’cause i know the readers will understand. The day after David’s first birthday away from us left behind, what an emotional couple of days it has been. Love you David as always, Adeola & all your fans worldwide. xxxxx

      Dear Adeola, Such lovely words above and truly felt. If I have one regret in my life it is that I never got to see David, I would have loved that but I was too young (12/13 when he came to Glasgow) and my mum said I was too young to go. I have been a fan of David’s for over 40 years and I too loved him so much. So saddened by his passing but he will live with me forever. Keep in touch Adeola and we fans must stick together.

        Dear Sheila from Scotland, I had just finished replying Weronika, & had moved up to reading some earlier posts above. Scrolled back down to read your reply. Reading it has made me cry again. When am I going to be able to stop crying over David, & from all the love of you fellow fans? Never I guess. Really nice of you to reply, I am making the effort to read as many posts as possible.
        Thanks to Judy A for asking how we all are after yesterday. David has the best fans ever.
        I’ve only listened to the first four hours of Timms broadcast, it’s great that we can listen whenever we like, but as I said before what a rollercoaster of emotions we are all going through.
        Love to all of you David loves out there & David too. Adeola.

      Hi, Adeola,
      What a story! I love reading fan’s stories about seeing or meeting David. I saw a film about this famous weekend at Wembley on You Tube.
      No, I ‘ve never seen him live -In the 70s I lived in a communist country, just couldn’t go abroad, but I was always a fan, I loved music and David Cassidy for me was always the best, even if he wasn’t popular in Poland at the time.
      Only some years ago with the Internet I could really get to know his music and his life better. During last 10 years I often thought that one day I would fly to UK and see him at the concert. Since 1989 Poland is a free country and I can go wherever I want to.
      But sadly ,now it’s too late. Such things shoudn’t be put off.
      This website is exceptional, also because David’s fans understand so well each other.
      Love from Warsaw, Poland

      Very beautiful comment, Adeola. I am Spanish and I have always lived in Spain but I have been lucky enough to travell to the UK four times. I got to see David six times in concert and even met him.
      How wonderful memories of a man with a heart of gold. Sweet, talented, lovely, gorgeous, sexy… and I could go on and on. He really was the whole package.
      I miss him like crazy and especially yesterday but I tried to do something lovely for him. I let a white ballon go and donated some little money to the Alzheimer Foundation.
      I know he is Heaven now and pain free and that´s what gives me some comfort.
      Big hugs to you all ♥

        Oh Araceli, thanks for replying. All you fellow fans are making me feel so much better. I don’t feel alone or isolated anymore regarding my love & grief for David. This evening I was going around the house singing ‘I woke up in Love this morning’, & it reminded me of David singing it at the show i went to at Wembley in ’73! He really strutted his stuff in those days, moving around the stage in his black (Elvis inspired) cat suit. He was only 22 bless him. The memories are just flooding back!
        The man about the house has hooked up the computer permanently to the TV, & this evening watched from this website in full screen, the episodes of Bonanza & Marcus Welby that David starred in. How young he looked, although David was aged 20 &21 in those episodes, he looked so much younger.
        Tomorrow, will listen to the next segments of Timm’s broadcast as I do the household chores. I feel really humbled that likeminded people are reading & responding to my posts. This website is amazing on so many levels. Goodnight to all you David lovers, love you all. Adeola.

        Araceli – I think it was a lovely idea of yours to donate for Alzheimer’s on David’s birthday. I think David would be thrilled if he knew in three years from now, they hope to have a treatment which will work, and in ten, to have a vaccine.

He brought such a lot of love, kidness and happiness into our lives and I am also so glad to have been around to enjoy his presence on TV and listen to his magical music with that magical voice of his.

May David have many happy trails in Heaven with his loved ones. David’s legacy shall live on forever and he will always be in our lives and hearts.

Thank you Timm for putting together all of David’s songs the songs he sung were so varied .It takes me down a emotional memory lane of my teenage years of the early 1970s .I saw david with my school friend at Wembley in 1973 .He has such a strong but velvety and smooth voice unique to david .Such a talented handsome man

David we miss, he his always thought of often, David Cassidy must be watching from above, I was out and about and stopped at a event, and for some reason among so many people, no one got what I did, the book was dated from 1950, and there’s more, the book is called, Roy Rogers and the ghost of mystery Rancho. In very good condition. David wants us all to be in the direction of happy trails. Yesterday was a new beginning for us fans. David left us a abundance of joy, to treasure forever, he had a touch, that he left with all the fans, our memories are with us, as time goes by the love we have for David Cassidy will just grow, and always put a smile deep within our hearts.

Spent yesterday listening to the radio tributes to David, it was a sad day but made bearable by listening to his music and the DJ’s stories. Thank you to all concerned.

Thanks Arcelia, I still can’t believe no one else grabbed the book, I was in there almost one hour, something told me to glance, and in plain site, and the book only was two dollars. I think that was my sign from David, he is going down the happy trails, in heaven. You got the feathers, white feathers. We must keep faith, that the Lord takes care of those who have gone before us, and I miss David and always will. I’m going to celebrate David’s life now, and let him rest in peace. If a sadness comes over me, I’m going to play his music and remember what it meant than and moreso now.

  Hi All
  
  Guess what?
  
  I received the acknowledgement from Cathy Marino of NMRHOF, for my donation towards the David Cassidy benches on , on DC’s birthday! 🙂
  (I made a donation to the DC benches about 4 weeks ago.)
  
  Do you think it is just a co-incidence? Or are other forces at work here?
  
  Like Denise, I’m taking this as a sign….

Remember the song “See You Again” by Carrie Underwood? I was watching the video on YouTube tthe other night and thinking about how the lyrics are so fitting right now, with so many of us still mourning David’s death. Here is the link to the video if anyone wants to hear the song.

  As Denise and others here have said, let us all remember him with love & joy and celebrate his legacy. He would want that.

Adeola- thank you for your thoughtful post – I see you live in the neighbouring county to me, I live in Hertfordshire in the UK! I became a fan of David’s after he left the Partridge Family and when he was on tour in the UK. I didn’t go to see him in concert then, however, as I thought it would be too dangerous. I gave up being a David fan when my best friend? at school mentioned her mother had seen him out the night before in London at a Frank Sinatra concert with his new fiancée – Kay Lenz -and I’m sorry to say this ruined it for me. I had every David record at the time, and posters, but got home from school to find a clear out had been in progress, and the whole lot had been binned. I recently found one photo left from the purge and a sketch I made of David when I was in class at school and clearly not concentrating on my lessons! I came back many years later, after hearing about David’s dementia diagnosis. So I missed out 40yrs!

I thought he was very kind and thoughtful.

  I’m really sorry to hear about that purge, Claire… Assuming it was done by a parent; it’s been noteworthy just how much the fans’ parents have facilitated or frustrated their worship of our Mr. Cassidy – sometimes, quite tragically… Sian

  that so reminds me of the devastation I felt on returning from a guide camping trip. My mum thought it would be a nice surprise to redecorate my room whilst I was away. Surprise?!! I was totally traumatised and inconsolable!!
  I cried at night for weeks when I went into my room and found some hideous 70’s new wallpaper and all my fabulous D.C. posters had been destroyed.
  My mother could never understand why I was “so ungrateful.” I don’t think I ever trusted my mum ever again after that. It was the most traumatic experience of my young life and I never forgave her!!!
  
  What I wouldn’t give to see my “shrine” again. I have to say that ,perfect as he most certainly was, I confess with the passing years I prefer the more mature D.C. now I’m 58 😉 Do you think 58 is too late fora midlife crisis? I’m so tempted to buy some D.C. posters and put on my wall in defiance!!!

Have loved reading everyone’s messages and stories about David and really enjoyed Timm’s broadcast and tribute. Feeling so sad that David is not here to celebrate his birthday. He gave so much to others and did not deserve his life to end the way it did and so soon. I always thought and still think he was the most beautiful man ever in every way and his death has affected me so deeply. It is very comforting to read everyone’s messages here, we all feel the same about David. There’ll never be another David Cassidy, so appreciative to have lived in his lifetime. What really comes out here is that there is and has always been so much love for David. Missing and loving him always.

  Hi Sandra
  Your words “his death has affected me so deeply” truly resonates with me, and I know to us all on this site, who love David.
  From early 2017 when the news reported David’s retirement from performing due to Alzheimer’s, it gave me such a “lightbulb moment”. I realised how much this beautiful man had positively affected and enhanced my life!
  His passing has been devasting and I’m struggling coming to terms with it. As someone here has said, you take things for granted that you will get a chance to see him live or if your lucky enough, meet him. Alas I did not get a chance to do either, always “assuming” I’ll get tickets the next time he is performing.
  
  My husband of 31 years has always kidded around about my love for whom he calls “your heart-throb”. I guess he too is confused about how one can mourn so deeply someone you never met! Though he is supportive and treats it with understanding; God bless him.
  
  I drive around listening to my DC and PF CDs. My Mum is getting to know my favourite songs pretty well and is developing favourites of her own – the slower ballad songs. Lol!
  
  I love being here on this site, among the David Cassidy appreciation “family”. Thank you all.

    Hi
    I feel so
    Much the same … I feel very teary today .. a lady requested a David song Day Dreamer … gave her happy memories of when she was 10
    like me .. I am 55 this year .. I sobbed as soon as his beautiful voice rang out and I knew I had to come here to tell his dear fans … I know you will
    understand .. he was my first love .. hubby gave me a cuddle .. I’m still teary now ..
    Oh dear … my dads anniversary this week too … such a happy childhood and now the floodgates keep opening.. my hubby was in hospital having heart surgery when Dear David passed .. I can’t continue … love you David .. always will .. I wish your beautiful voice did not make me cry … I used to smile before .. hugs for you all … (England )

Me too, missing and loving.
It’s so comforting to read messages, sometimes I feel I’m the only one David’s fan here in Poland. My daughters say -Ma , over 4 months is plenty of time to get over someone, and you’ve never met him and he is dead anyway. People just don’t understand , so I don’t talk with them about David. That’s their loss.

- Sian Steed on April 15, 2018 at 3:43 pm said:
  
  You never get over someone you love. That’s my experience – never. The pain fades or waves of it come gradually less and less frequently (although everyone else might experience it differently). For grief; 4 months is no time at all – seriously. Sian (hugs from England).
  - Weronika Cyrynger on April 15, 2018 at 4:38 pm said:
    
    Thank you Sian,
    Yes, I know that the grief after lost true love will never end..Only a person who never loose anyone can think that there is a cure for a broken heart.
    But life must go on and someone has said here that it’s time to celebrate David’s life and concentrate on his music and life.

    - Adeola on April 15, 2018 at 9:35 pm said:
      
      There must be David C fans living in Poland, come on reply Weronika’s posts! All you David lovers out there, wherever you are in the world, contribute to this site to honour David. I posted my first post on 11th April, & have never regretted it. Within this short period of time, so many lovely people have responded to my posts, including Claire who lives in the next county to me! Hi Claire (ha, ha)!
      Weronika, have you read the book ‘The David Cassidy Story’ by James Gregory? It came out in 1973, that’s when I got my copy. But it’s a really good biography of David. I received David’s own autobiography ‘Could it be Forever’ as a Xmas pressie last Xmas, but I was too upset to start reading it until about February this year. Even since then I’ve only been able to read & few chapters, as it’s David’s own words, & I found it so upsetting to read his own words!
      Each generation have their own music & musicians that they like, but saw recently on the net an article that must have come out shortly after we lost David. It stated that the New Zealand singer, Lorde (or Lourde, i’m not sure how to spell her name), was devastated about the death of our David. She is only 21! I think she saw re-runs of The Partridge Family, & then sought out his music. Also again, in the nineties i remember reading about a young lady who said she had been a fan ever since she was 2 years old! I don’t think she was born during the 70’s heyday of Cassidymania, but long after! I feel after we (who experienced the 70’s) are long gone, David will live on through his younger fans.
      Weronika, isn’t Timm’s broadcast fantastic. I still haven’t managed to reach the end yet. I keep repeating the earlier broadcasts! Our very own David concert on tap. And then Timm gives us an extra bonus of a David concert of 1974! Which i also haven’t listened to yet. Timm, you are a legend & a star, we non Americans up to a few days ago had never heard of you. But boy, do we know now !
      It seems as if the male DC fans are more knowledgeable, more passionate about DC, than us ladies. Soon after DC died i remember coming to this site & reading a post by another American male fan, who has a room in his house full of DC memorabilia & who was looking for more! So good to know though that DC is loved by so many.
      Well this is the end of an interesting long DC weekend that started before his birthday. Easter hols are over too, kids back at school tomorrow. Start of another working week tomorrow also. Everything back to normal, but i have enjoyed it & hope David did too, wish he was here with us on this earth healthy & happy. But know he is alright now.
      Bye to all you David lovers, love to you David as always. Love Adeola. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I agree Sian 4 months is nothing in terms of grief. It’s so good to be part of this website where people understand the deep sense of loss we all feel for someone most of us never met. David was and is a huge part of our lives and we’ll never forget him. Miss you David xxx
- Sian Steed on April 15, 2018 at 9:17 pm said:
  
  One of the most painful and conflicting parts of the grieving process is when you suddenly find yourself enjoying life, again… and you feel really bad about it – disloyal; unloving… and as though you’re not upset enough…
  
  If David were able to join in with our “conversation” I can imagine that he might gently remind us to carry on with life in between shedding those tears and make the most of our own time – too. Sian

Aaah. I sure wish I was also going to be there to join in this celebration. I sure hope you all enjoy it, and make many happy memories of the day.

Perhaps those of you who will be there can take some pics or make a video clip of the unveiling of the benches, and perhaps Jane can post it here for everyone else? I sure hope so.

As per my usual day, I have been on YouTube watching DC videos. I came across this one; an hour-long open and honest interview. Very enlightening one that makes us love him even more.

  Thanks Deb, for your comments above to my post and for the you tube clip. I agree with your comments about David in this clip, he’s so genuine and honest. It’s what I loved about him so much, there aren’t so many people around that are like that. I also wish I could go to Saratoga, lucky fans who are able to go. I saw him once in concert and unfortunately missed a second opportunity to see him, will always regret that. I think that the fans who met him were so lucky, I would have loved to have had that opportunity. I also love this site and the “David Cassidy Appreciation Family” and know everyone here feels the same way I do about David. Where are you from Deb?

    Hi Sandra
    
    I love watching videos of the DC Australia tours. He was so full of energy.
    
    I’m in England – so you can image my REGRET of never having seen him perform “Live” – not even once. One cannot change the past, and we therfore now must keep looking upward and forward.
    
    Please God, in the next life we will get a chance to be around our “loved ones” in heaven.
    
    Its wonderful to connect with the DC Appreciation “family” from around the world.

    Hi Sandra
    
    I watched the Piers Morgan interview with David yesterday evening
    
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlVjcuWDRj8
    
    Another very open and frank discussion. Well at least he knew that he made an HUGE impact on the lives of thousands, dare I say, millions of fans.
    
    Sad to hear him plead to his Sue for “fairness”, and his understanding of the hurt Beau was feeling in light of his alcoholism breakdown of his marriage, and moving on with his new girlfriend.
    
    I am desperately trying the “Lets celebrate David’s life”, but unfortunately, the sadness but is still creeping in.
    
    However, today is a warm bright sunny day in England, and is making us feel hopeful that Spring is finally here….
    
    Everyone have a great day!

        for sadness prevents the Holy Spirit from acting freely”

        Another “scorcher” of a day weather-wise for us today.
        Went for a walk in the park at lunchtime, and all the Mum+babies are there pushing prams and buggies; people with guitars singing and hanging-out together – I’m guessing NOT singing DC songs 🙁
        Too hot to go back to work, but needs must.
        
        Hope that everyone else as having a positive day, however if you are not, you are in the right place to get some TLC from the other loving DC fans.

Hi everyone, and hi Felicia, glad to see your post, I am looking very forward to meeting in person. Our friendship would of never happened, if Jane,and David didn’t have this website. I’m looking forward to our trip to Saratoga, and the celebration of David Cassidy life. You Felicia have been a wonderful friend to me. I will never be over David, he was my only favorite star ever. I’m glad I’m not alone, I may have not been the smartest in school, but I made a A+;A+,and many more A+s when I made the smartest choice to become a proud David Cassidy fan. Time will never heal the sadness, for me some of the sadness lifted, I don’t want to cry, I want to enjoy all David left for us, when I was sad, I didn’t play his music, which I love,love, so I’m trying to focus, and go back and remember David, for his joy, but I will always miss him, the benches and celebration, is a wonderful way to honor a man,that is so, so, so loved. Timm, made David Cassidy Day, one to never forget. I will let all you fans know , how Saratoga is while we are there. That was David’s place, now he will be celebrated there, by many, many fans.

Wow! Thank you so much for such nice words.
My trip will be in fact my own David Cassidy trip.I ‘ve all his music on my smartphone , I”ve bought myself a new pair of very good headphones (pink, but why not).
David loved Britain. he did sightseeing in 1973 (Lancashire and Hampshire) , he played in many places in the 80s and in the XXI century. He actually lived in London for some time. So I’ve made a list and hope to see these places and make pictures. Some of them are not exist anymore (like White Stadium) so I’m reading a lot and preparing . I’ll go for this trip with David in my ears and in my heart.
Thank you for your wishes

      Hi Weronika,
      . Just a few words today, but I’ll catch up with you fully another day. Firstly, your English is excellent, a lot of people born & bred in the UK can’t write & speak as well as you do!
      Also, are you familiar with Pinterest? Although I do have a Pinterest account, previously I have searched for DC on their site & found loads of lovely pictures that I haven’t seen before of DC.
      I was mucking about on it a few minutes ago, put DC Songs in their search engine it then came up YouTube, pressed that, & to my delight every performance of all DC’s songs appeared. I even found the video of DC singing ‘ I am a Clown’ at Wembley stadium at the exact show that my mate Dilys went to in ’73 with him sitting on the stage! DC wore a black cat suit at my show, where at Dilys’s he wore white. I will try later to see if I can find footage of the show I went to.
      If you take a look at that video, the hilarious bit of the dad being interviewed outside the venue, left carrying the David memorabilia for his daughter, while she was inside!
      It’s much easier & quicker viewing David’s performances this way, & the videos are really clear. Many a time have i gone on to YouTube directly & tried to view David’s stuff , but the sound, visual have been really poor.
      Just wanted to let you & other fans know about it if you hadn’t already. Cried again today as i finally finished listening to Timms broadcast, he left my favourites to the last. “I am a Clown” & “Some kind of a Summer”!
      Bye all you David lovers, & DC of course as well. Adeola.

        Yes I know what Pinterest is and sure I ‘ll try because sometimes the sound and visual on YT is poor, you are right.
        I like watching PF episodes on Dailymotion, of course one has to watch commercials , but the quality is OK. And really watching PF is such a pure, innocent pleasure , while watching I’m just smiling all the time. And the 70s fashion, just great, David in bell bottoms and his hair and puka shell..

Leihsia, me too and I keep watching the PF episodes on YT over and over again. I also reread his autobiography “Could it be forever” again.. We should be grateful these days although, since we have the internet, YT and the easy access to his music, interviews, films etc. Take care/Annie

Hi All

I ordered the self-titled “David Cassidy” CD and got notice that it was dispatched yesterday from France (or maybe Germany?). I’m sooooo excited.
I heard the track Prisoner on Timm McCoy’s DC 2018 Birthday tribute and just love it. Looking forward to hearing the other songs too.

Praying that David is looking down and smiling on us all.

Hope you are having a good day, one and all.

Still really enjoying Timm’s radio tributes ! It’s such a wonderful gift! Heard them all on 12th, but now replaying them individually after work to cheer myself as a treat after a tough day 🙂 instead of a glass of wine!! Been trying to “name that album” before Timm tells me! I have all D.C. albums anyway but its great to listen to the mix across the years. Great to hear Timm’s enthusiasm and anecdotes about David. Timm gets a big hug from me!! He’s awesome!!

  It’s just fantastic gift! As you’ve written “the mix across the years”. Timm is such a great fan and such a great guy , I mean when I hear him it’s like listening to a friend.

Hi our Claire from Hertfordshire, (trying to say this in a Cilla Blackesque accent, but not doing very well, ha, ha). Was it the fact that DC was at a Frank Sinatra show or the fact that he was with Kay, that ruined it for you, or a combination of both at the time?
Liz, i hope your husband is recovering well, stay strong, send him our love. If you feel teary or upset about anything come & tell us, it’s very cathartic writing here. Many of us have been forced to listen to DC’s music in full & watch his videos & stuff ’cause of his birthday celebrations. I couldn’t before ’cause I knew it would upset me too much. But listening to his music recently, yes I’ve cried many times listening to his lovely voice, but I know it will get better in time. I bet there are fans who still can’t listen to his music or watch him on the screen, ’cause it’s still painful, everyone is different.
Judy A & Sheri (I love your name), which part of the world do you live?
Hi Sandra in Sydney, Australia, I think it’s really cool how we can interact with people around the world here. Elke, lucky you living in a country where David C’s ancestors came from on his dad’s side. Do you know which part of Germany, they came from?
Weronika, did you get an invite to the Royal wedding, is that why you’re coming over here in May, see you there (ha, ha). Weronika, when over here you must see The Hammersmith Apollo, it’s still there ( been there for ages), music gigs & plays etc. are still played there. Also as David loved the Beatles, when in Liverpool you must see all the Beatle related places (of which there are many). I know the old Empire Pool Wembley is no longer there also. I don’t know if the newer 02 arena in London was built on the same site or somewhere else. Do tell us about the trip when you get back.
Sheila Owens, so many fans never got to see David live for whatever reason. But one thing i remember DC was very fond of his Scottish fans. He said that he will never forget the welome they gave him on his very first trip to Scotland (must have been ’73 or something). On landing at the airport the place was packed with fans, & the route from the airport to his hotel was lined with fans! Those were the days aye, such happy times!
Looking at the video that i found via Pinterest, of DC singing ‘I am a Clown’ at one of his Wembley gigs , the close up shots of DC are really clear. Plus the shots of the fans in the audience, some with their hands on their heads in wonderment on seeing him. We had never seen anybody like him so talented, so nice, so drop dead gorgeous! Is it any wonder that he was the most popular man on the planet at that time! Oh crikey! And as so many UK fans have said I’m absolutely disgusted with the UK media’s non coverage about DC. They made enough money through him back in the day with articles about him, special mags about him etc., which we all bought, plus TV programmes about him, & with him in etc.
The week beginning 16th April over here in England the weather has been really great, I feel it’s DC shining & looking down on us all.
Take care everyone. Love you David forever & always Adeola.xxxxxxxxxxx

  Can make a correction to your saying that the Empire Pool, Wembley is no longer there, it is but it has been renamed twice and been refurbished, but essentially the same building. It was renamed Wembley Arena in 1978 until July 2014 and since July 2014 it has been called SSE Arena, Wembley, although I’m sure alot of people still call it Wembley Arena. So Weronika you can still see the where David did those 6 concets in one weekend in 1973.
  I lived in London from when I was born until i was 30 years old, ( i’m now 58) and not only saw our wonderful David there, but other concerts and shows too.
  Love and miss you David, always

    Hi Adeola, Hi Doreen,
    Thank you so much for your informations. Every piece of info is very important for me. And your posts made my day!
    I’ve been to London quite a few times so I know how to move about the city. Wembley Arena is the place I must see. Another is Dominion Theatre (Tottenham Court Road) , David starred in “Time” there in 1987. Actually I was near this place on my way to the British Museum but I didn’t know at the time about it. The same thing is with Royal Albert Hall, last year I even stayed in the hotel just around the corner! But this time I will be prepared,
    Adeola , Liverpool is also very important ,”The Beatles” the greatest band in the world, my first love too.
    Doreen , I envy you , can you write sth more about seeing David ?
    We also have a great weather here, I’m working in my garden , diggimg, planting , listening to David’s music and missing him so much.

      Hi Weronika
      
      I saw David there on Saturday 17th March 1973, 12 Noon concert and I still have the ticket. This was the second concert of six that David did that weekend, one on Friday, three on the Saturday and two on the Sunday. It was a fantastic day, just being in the same place as David was brilliant, but to see him too, well nothing could compare with the feelings I had that day. The only thing was that we were near the back of the arena and as it holds around 10 to 12 thousand people, David was quite a long way away, but it didn’t matter. David had one of his white jumpsuits on, if i remember correctly it was the one with the Aztec figure on the front and the sun on his bottom, it’s difficult to remember exactly as we were seated so far back from the stage and having seen so many picture etc of those concerts, all I do know is that it was white and he was fantastic. You may have seen pieces of a documentary programme that was done at the time on YouTube etc, well I think any of the footage that was take with David in the white jumpsuit were filmed at the 12 Noon concert, as they also show everyone coming out and it is daylight and with the timings of the other concerts this is the only one that finished when it was still light outside. David sang some of the Partridge Family songs and songs from Cherish and Rock me Baby, plus a couple of others, but it was difficult to hear with all the screaming going on. I am so glad that I saw David then and again in 1974 at White City Stadium, the only downside to that concert was the crush when fans got hurt and Bernadette Whelan was in that and later died. My thoughts on that, as I was there on the grass area was that there wasn’t any security people on the grass to stop fans going to the front when it was already packed. The nearly stopped the concert if hadn’t of moved back when they were asked too. There were alot of reports at the time of the numbers hurt, yes there were some hurt and one girl died later, but there were alot faking it to try and get backstage to get to David too, so some of the reports of that concert have been exaggerated a little. I also saw David in concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 1985, again and absolutely brilliant concert, plus I went to see the musical “Time” three times when David was in there. Unfortunately after that due to where i was living, family commitment and cost I was unable to get to see David at a concert or in Blood Brothers, which I regret now, but i’m glad I did get to see him when I did as there are some fans who have commented on here that they never got to see him live at all. I hope you have a great trip.
      David, you are forever in my heart.

  Hi Adeola, yes those were the days in the ’70s and I was lucky enough to see David in Sydney in 1974 – I remember him singing “Daydreamer” whilst sitting down playing piano and doing a drum solo and a little dance with his back to the audience. He was saying to everyone to “push back” and we were warned by the M.C. that David would have to leave the stage if the pushing continued, the stage was starting to collapse. It was an outdoor concert and on a hot day. I remember his last song was “Rock Me Baby” and he rushed off the stage immediately after he finished singing it. He obviously couldn’t stay around very long afterwards or he would have been mobbed. There were girls screaming around me but I didn’t scream, I wanted to hear him sing, I was about a third to half the way back from the stage, he was fabulous. I remember him saying as he came on “This is our first show”, being his first Australian show. It was hard on his birthday just over a week ago to post on this site knowing he would no longer be reading any messages and not being able to wish him “Happy Birthday”. Really enjoy reading your and all the posts on this site.

Hi Denice.

No, I got my hug from David at his Pre-Birthday Party in London in 2011. He was amazing. We were around 100 people on that venue, a little space in the Novotel Hotel called The Planet. We were sat in tables with 10 around. After a cute speech he sang Aint´ No Sunshine and he started hugging every fan. He would make a little dance with everyone and a little chat. I was lucky enough and he even let me kiss him. He was gorgeous. It was not my turn but when he got near my plave he turned around and with his arms open wide, he talked me “Hi!!”. I almost got fainted but instead I literally wrapped him and he smiled and whispered in my ear “Awwww, sweetie!”. I wanted the world stopped at that moment. He made feel the only woman in that room. He was so sweet, lovely and funny too. I really miss travelling along the UK just to see him.

Yesterday it was a hard day as it was five months since he left us. But I know he lives in our heart and he will be with us forever.

Hugs from Spain to you all, my lovely friends ♥

P.S.- You can see a little of that Party on this video:

Arcelia, that is what I thought, when you got the wonderful hug, that was 2011, now I didn’t know you went to his show in 2012, where was that, and did you get to say hello, and how was the show? A lady I talked to today, she remembers him well, she was much older than me, and so wise, and delightful to talk to, she told me, he will always be here somewhere, we just have to have faith, God works it out. I’m still sad, just can’t help it. Arcelia till our next post, thank you, you are so so so nice.

From my first concert seeing David – Wembley ’73, Time , Blood Brothers and the tours of the UK in the later years he never disappointed and I loved them all.

  Denice, if you hope for your emotions to “stay intact” – doesn’t that put too much pressure on you? If you take a box of tissues with you, then everything else that happens to you is a bonus. You can imagine there’ll be several people crying. If you have one big cry you’ll probably enjoy all the rest of the day. Nobody nice will judge you and you won’t be alone… Sian
Araceli from Spain ♥ on April 23, 2018 at 8:54 pm said:

Hi Denice, my last time seeing David was in Liverpool 2012. It was in a Once In A Life Time concert. David performed the last one. He got a standing ovation from the crow when he sang a very, very beautiful version of “In My Life”. And being in the city of the fabulous he sure had to feel such proud of himself.

This time I had bought a Spanish team cap for him. I walked down stage to take a pic of him but a security man stopped me. So I talked him: “C´mon, I came from Spain just to see him!!” And he let me go for a minute but I forgot to give it to David the cap. I back to my seat during the “But” time. As I had got five row, I asked to a nice man from the third row to threw the cap on the stage for me. It was at the I Woke Up In Love This Morning time.

Here you are a video. David had fun talking some Spanish!! Heheeee… Awww, so cute!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkszmHJlVck

I´ve met Teri Coté, his drummer, twice. One in London 2011 and another one in Liverpool 2012. She is such a nice lady. I met her after this last concert and knowing how she loves the percussion, I gave her a pair of castanets (some typical Spanish instrument) and I got my pic taken with her twice.

Thanks Sian, it’s just, why our David Cassidy, we thought he always be up to something new, and this time will be different, you never knew what to expect with David, as the years went on, I tried to blend with the crowds at his concerts, I just wanted David to be happy, now I didn’t say hello backstage, before his show in 2016; but I did thank him during his performance, I was in the front row with my sister, I made a collage, of all the times I met him, he said ,nice of you to bring pictures of you and I, but this is something we do backstage. As he looked at the pictures, he backed up, my sister said he is running from you, no he wasn’t, the glare of the lights, I wasn’t aware his eyes had issues,cause they were, sincere gorgeous eyes. Maybe if I did go backstage, I would of told him to take better care of himself. The first time I met him, he said he liked my letters, I touched subject s that were real. I believe David is still with us, he was brave and left us words, to better our daily lives. And he told us the truth.

Hi Arcelia, I think I see you, is your top white with black? That was wonderful, he sounded so clear, and jazz and blue mix, he voice that evening must have been spectacular to hear live. And I loved the video of him getting your baseball cap, he knew it was from you, and how nice of Terri , to take pics with you, she’s one heck of the lady drummer, the best, and she’s seems like a nice person. Anybody connected to David Cassidy, makes for a nice combination of people. David looked real happy in Liverpool, he seemed like himself, relaxed,fun, and gave you guys another great show. Thank you Arcelia, for explaining and posting video, we will never run out of things to talk about when it is about David Cassidy. Hi Felicia, I’m start packing, and studying my directions to Saratoga Springs N.Y. It will be real nice to met you, and you are my first David Cassidy friend in real life after 40yrs. Now Felicia we both have made so many friendships with other David Cassidy fans. So the David Cassidy story will never be over. And a hi to John Daly, who must just be kicking back,listening to David’s music.

  Hi Denice , I want to write you that it was a fantastic night and with David in a way.The ballet was just wonderful “Lady of the Camellias” with Chopin’s music , so it was a story of great and lost love. I was also pleased that the main male dancer’s name was actually David , and he was sensational and just gorgeous. And now the best. I was sitting next to a very nice German couple, both about 30, and both classical pianists. And we talked during breaks. And because they just have been to the UK I also told them about my upcoming trip and about David Cassidy. And what a surprise ! They knew and appreciated his music and told me that they didn’t think that classical music is more important than pop or rock. It’s just only good or bad music and it’s the most wonderful universal language !

      Yes it was. Such beautiful music and emotions. Why everything ends so quickly and why it’s such a price for love and happiness? No one sings better about love than David. And how painful are many of his songs, especially the ones he penned , like e.g. “Take This Heart ” – “Lost love just pulled the rug out under me” or “Love In Bloom – “Did you give the best , but your best wasn’t good enough?”
      It seems I’m still under the spell of yesterday’s night, it’s time to get back to reality

        How many beautiful or sexy or charismatic celebrities have suffered in love just like the rest of us “mere mortals”? David is such a perfect example of the irony of life and the irony of love. With all those women throwing tbemselves at him he should have had an easy time of it… Inside the goldfish bowl of fame I suppose you can’t always swim all that far. Sian

    Sian, he posted on his website about the Party. It´s a very long story but I´ll make it as shorter as I can.
    
    I knew on December 2010 David was going to celebrate his birthday in the UK on Sunday April10th, I was determined to be there with him. But things became complicated and though I called and wrote several e-mails I could not get my ticket for that day. Although, I did get my ticket booked for his Birthday show, so I had everything ready to travel to London on April 11th.
    
    As time goes by, David announced another Birthday show in Atlantic City on Saturday April 9th, and his staff decided to delay the Party on Monday April 11th so he could be more rested and relaxed. I was not going to be there on Sunday, but I would be on Monday. Some fans started saying that the party was going to take place at Novotel Hotel, just where I had booked my room. My head began to consider the possibility of seeing David (I didn´t mind if it was from a long distance).
    
    When I got up in Spain the morning on the Monday April 11th, I could not imagine yet the wonderful surprise I would get that night.
    As planned, I went to London on Monday and arrived to my hotel around 2:30 p.m. I checked in, had a shower and went down staris to meet up some of my friends-fans there. That’s when I learned the rumors were true, David was going to celebrate his Pre-Birthday Party there, in The Planets Restaurant, at Novotel Hotel!!!. By chance, I met another girl, Julie, who had NO ticket either but she wanted to try to get one and I joined her.
    
    In the Hall we also got to meet Frank Fabio, “Sully” and Teri had some photos taken with them and had a nice talk as well.
    
    Les, my friend’s husband Glyn tried by every means to get us to enter the Party, but they could not find anyone MRL Staff Promotions. So our hopes got broken and we decided to have a drink in the hotel lobby, where we met David’s son Beau and The Fates.
    
    While there, Les arrived and told us they had finally made contact with MRL and our tickets were waiting for us. How?… What?… But I was hearing right?… YES!. Finally I was going to meet my sweet David, wow!. Like his song says: “If there´s some way, I know some day I´ll meet you halfway”.
    
    I BELIEVE in fate and things happens for some reason: I was just at the right time at the right place.
    
    Thanks for the memories David. I will never ever forget that night. But now, I miss you like crazy 🙁

Arcelia,I tried to find you, do you have dark hair, it right after he leaves the stage, around like you said the fourth minute. All I know you attended, a great party, with the one and only David Cassidy. The video gets little shakey, I hope you got some pictures of David that evening, he looked real good, is that the only song he sang, there ain’t no sunshine,and I heard the part when he talked to his fans, Gail posted that part. He just looked so happy,glad he had wonderful fans in the room with him, and you Arcelia, will always be a extra special David Cassidy fan. And I’m sending a hug to you from me.

Thanks Arcelia, I’m glad I saw you , you look pretty, and I figured you had dark hair being from Spain. And I’m so happy you got pictures of your hugs with David. Not everyone got a special up close with David,and us ones that did, it is very important to tell other fans are experience, if I never met David I would want to hear other fans story’s. I enjoyed his speech that he gave, we’re you there for that part, and he said he only got about two hours sleep and he was jetlaged. And his birthday cake, I like how he said if everyone can step back and see the cake, and he also said about life and in years to come, just don’t know. Tonight me and Felicia, are going to talk on the phone, I’ll be back and let everyone know what we are going to do for David in Saratoga. Thanks again Arcelia, and for all the videos I watched two, really special.

Thank you Denise

Yes, “Not everyone got a special up close with David,and us ones that did, it is very important to tell other fans are experience, if I never met David I would want to hear other fans story’s.”

Yes, indeed. I fit in both categories: Never having met David, and therefore wanting to hear other fans stories. I means so much to me that others share these life-changing moments.
The videos are awesome. I am so engrossed when I am watching them, filled with joy, until I come back down to earth with the realisation that he is no longer around.

I’m sure ALL are hearts are filled with a bitter-sweet pain.How blessed are we, that we were lucky enough to have this beautiful wonderful man make such an impact in our lives. My first heart-throb at 12yrs old…..

To all fans who will be in Saratoga Springs N.Y. for David’s weekend, Felicia asked me if I like to attend mass, and we thought be nice to include David. I would like David Cassidy to be remembered at the celebration of the Eucharist, during mass at 5:00p.m. Saturday May-19-18 at The church of Saint Peter, right in town. Please join Felicia and I, if you are able to make it.Mass will be about one hour. Fans, friends, of David, be nice to honor David Cassidy with this special blessing.

  Hi Denise, Felicia and all will be attending Mass in Saratoga Springs on May 19th,in memory of David.
  
  You have no idea how much this means to me, as a practising Christian (Catholic).
  
  I offered the Indulgence associated with Divine Mercy Sunday, for the repose of David’s soul.
  The knowledfe of the millions of fans praying for David just fills me with peace and joy of the blessed assurance that he is safe and sound in the arms of our Lord and Saviour.
  
  Thank you all so much, in advance.

  Yes, my experience was very exciting, Denice. I have had an adventure each time I have travelled to the UK. My friends and I use to call them: DC adventures 😉
  
  Wish I lived near New York so I could attend the mass but be sure I will be there in spirit. Thank you and Felicia for doind this for David.
  
  Have a beautiful day you too ♥

I’m a little nervous, about the trip, if I get there than my nerves will calm down. I let you know how things go,and I look forward to meeting Felicia.

Claudette, thank you for wishing Felicia and I a nice time. I’m going to do my best to hold back the tears, I cried so hard when the news broke of David in the hospital. He just was the nicest person who meant good, and the best star. He was a star, he shined so bright, and now is the time to honor him, bless him, and celebrate his life. It does not matter, where we are in the world, we all came together as fans, we the fans, know David Cassidy was different, he represented himself to show love to the world. I feel so lucky ,that I got to enjoy the best music, his voice, and singing power, was rare.

Weronika Cyrynger on April 28, 2018 at 3:24 pm said:

I must confess I read these teen magazines (Flip, Tiger Beat) with a fascination. For David it must have been awful, sth he had no power to stop, it was a huge business, like it was pictured in Alison Pearson’s book “I Think I Love You” In Poland we coudn’t buy any teen mags, so I didn’t have David’s posters. I was so distressed that one day after school I took my school poster paints and in very big block letters I painted names of all my beloved stars on one of my bedroom wall, and it was quite a wall and I painted from top to the bottom , from left to right, really sth. I started with David Cassidy of course (in the middle , red and blue letters) and the second one was 10cc. I was afraid about my parents reactions, sure they were surprised , but also laughed at it and was even impressed.

  Hi Weronika, I am imagining you and your parents at that time. I’m so pleased they were supportive of your art! Probably at that time they were also impressed by their daughter who wrote about what she loved and believed in! I had posters here, from our TV Guide magazines, if I remember rightly. I can’t remember if I bought teen mags. I also think about how it must have been for David at the time. I feel also for all of we fans who were in a sense manipulated by the big marketing “machine”. Never-the-less, as you have said before, his voice was so special, and his talent so unique, I’d like to think that we would have been, like you in Poland, great fans without all the marketing.

    Hi Lyn,
    It’s an interesting thought I mean how it would be without this “marketing machine”? Sure he would still be number one, because was the most beautiful boy,fantastic actor, and his role as Keith and his fabulous songs from PF and solo albums. But maybe with the less madness around he didn’t retire in 1974 and could grow up not so painfully. On the other hand this worship it’s a part of his legend as also his struggle to survive as an artist and as an human being. It’s why he is so special and unique.

    You’ve posted twice but David Cassidy had twice as much charisma as many performers in the acting and singing world and all that promotion isn’t making us post now that he’s departed…
    
    I’ve tried to imagine a quieter and happier lifestyle that he might have had but I’ve concluded that he was destined to be famous and that’s the part that mystified him. Sian

      Yes , you are right. And this promotion is not relevant now, it was more than 40 years ago. He is such a phenomenon just impossible to describe. We can call this charisma , I can’t think about better word. I once watched an interview with him from 1973. David was asked “What is the secret of David Cassidy?” And he answered with this unforgettable , irresistible smile “Secret? There is no secret. I’m an open book.”

I just read something I think that Katie Cassidy just spoke with people, And she really impressed me with her strongness, that girl is beautiful, and intelligent, and if you all get a chance to read it, you see what I mean. She let’s everyone know how the family is doing. And Katie , you have gorgeous, cute , cute, cats. David Cassidy would be even more proud of her, during all the sadness, she has great strength. So I hope you all get to read it, I don’t want to post, cause I really enjoyed reading in her words, for the first time, and it was nice of her to let us know.

The Cassidy family is a hardworking, family who has become closer and working through this as togetherness, including the Cassidy brothers, only time will tell, but I wish success, to Katie and Beau, and to live there lives to the fullest, and I think there doing great. David’s talent and achievements, will carry on.

Hi All

Hope everyone is well.
Been off-line for a couple of days, but its always so lovely to get back to this “space”, and read all the DBC-related messages! 🙂

Needless to say, I have been listening to my DC music and watching YouTube videos

I re-watched these ones again, and they really continue to give an insight into David.
He also always seems to really consider the questions he’s asked, and he answers them honestly and openly (perhaps not always fully when its something personal or when it affects him emotionally).

Hi Sian, it took me some time to think about your post about mystery of David. And I want to write that you touch sth important. The mystery. It’s stupid of me, this desire to understand him completly, to unveil his “secret” (maybe because I’m a former teacher ) but of course because he is a mystery it’s why he is (still) so alluring. I hope you know what I mean. And every true love is a mystery. It’s a great pleasure to read your posts. It’s like a real conversation.

Lyn Sanderson on May 2, 2018 at 9:21 pm said:

Hi all, It was interesting reading your exploration of ideas about David’s life Sian and Weronika. I wrote in another post (not sure if it was here), that his life made me think of Diana, Princess of Wales. I think they both experienced tragic family circumstances early, that was to impact them all their lives. And the charisma that we saw with both was that incredible ability to let their innermost spirit and warmth shine….that just can’t be faked…and millions were touched by it. Of course in David’s case their was also his magnificent voice and music. These beautiful lives have shone and passed, leaving us with special memories, and a sadness that it couldn’t have been longer. I just wish they could have had more happiness in their own lives. It’s a terrible irony.
- Sian Steed on May 3, 2018 at 1:20 am said:
  
  Yes, it is an irony. Some fans get very het up if anyone says anything negative about David. There’s no need. Whatever he had about him that’s “extra” transcended all that and carries on transcending it – now. I can’t prove that, of course, but some things are bigger and deeper than our failings and our passing emotions. You don’t have to be a perfect saintly person to have a huge, wonderful impact on millions of people. Sian
  - Weronika Cyrynger on May 3, 2018 at 6:19 am said:
    
    I’ve once read (You Tube) that if there are angels who are sent on Earth to make our lives not so miserable, surely David was one of them. At the time I laughed at it (a little bit) and thought that statement charmingly naive. But…It’s true that David’s music gave ( and it’ll be forever) a lot of happiness and joy for millions of people. And his flaws are also very important.
    I have a complicated relationship with one of my daughters and I felt guilty for many years. And one night , while I was reading about David I realised sth. And I felt like somebody threw off from my arms a pack full of stones. And it was because of David , and it’s improved my relationships with my daughter..
    So after all maybe he was an angel (and Diana too)

      A lot of fans will be able to understand that, Weronika (whether about a child; a parent; a spouse or even a colleague at work). There are the thoughts and feelings that we all have about each other and then maybe there’s another level – something deeper. I think that’s where forgiveness lies. Not letting somebody get away with treating you badly but something much deeper where the ego is totally excluded or overcome. Sian

  You mention Diana and that really resonates with me. I have often tried to fathom why I’m so affected by his death,and it has also reminded me of the impact Diana’s death had on many people. I think you have framed it beautifully, when I have still been trying to work it out. Thank you for sharing this insight. It feels like a piece of my personal jigsaw just fell into place!

My husband’s uncle dated Shirley when she was young. In Pittsburgh she was in plays in summer stock with her. Makes me feel closer.

I think David is still with us, at least his spirit, to help us going through this nighmare, his leaving seems to be.
So wherever you are, my beautiful angel, never forget I love you ♥
