HAPPY TRAILS…

HAPPY TRAILS…
A number of fans have been asking why David often uses ‘Happy Trails’ to end his messages. Fan’s first noticed David using this in the liner notes of ‘Dreams Are Nuthin’ More Than Wishes’ LP in 1973.
 
David said ‘It’s the song that Roy Rogers and his wife sang at the beginning and the end of their TV show when I was a very young boy!! I loved that song they sang on horseback.’

  1. Thanks for that explanation, have always loved the way David signs off with those words.

  3. Nice sentiment with the happy trails reference.

    Lyrics from research say:

    Some trails are happy ones,
    Others are blue.

    It’s the way you ride the trail that counts,
    Here’s a happy one for you.

    Happy trails to you,
    Until we meet again.
    Happy trails to you,
    Keep smiling until then.

    Who cares about the clouds when we’re together?
    Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.

  5. I love this and I love you David. You’re so sweet and genuine to your fans. I enjoyed our moment together at BB King’s for your final concert. You graciously accepted the letter I wrote to you and were such a gentleman. Everything I ever pictured you to be. I truly hope you’ve had the time to read it because it’s very heartfelt from me to you. <3 Love, hugs and Happy Trails to you sweetheart!!

  10. I’m the fan who sent the email asking the question of David
    I’m so thrilled that first off Jane who is remarkable took the time not only to read my email but was kind enough to personally ask David my question which i asked not only for myself but on behalf of many other fans who wondered the same thing.
    And David you are so very awesome which we all know
    But for you to answer the question i posed I’m ecstatic.
    I love you David and you ROCK!!!

        Wishing you ;much health and happiness always. You are a truly remarkable person and that is why you are loved and treasured so much.

        Happy trails.

  12. It’s an adorable finish to a letter … just don’t ride off into the sunset though, okay 🙂 My world is getting smaller & smaller as we all get older, and the thought of not having you around, even if it’s just on here, is something I don’t even want to think about…I may have only seen you once in concert (1974), and never again since, but I want you to know David, what you’ve already heard thousands of times in your career : you are so very much loved and you’ve had such an impact on my life. You are a very special human being and I love you like a life-long friend xxx

  14. remembering roy rogers, just about remembered watching the show, the song
    trigger a four legged friend
    four legged friend,
    he`ll never let you down,
    honest and faithful right up to the end,
    that wonderful 123 four legged friend
    happy trails

  15. Hi ya’ David. I loved Roy Rogers as a kid, mainly because of Trigger’ because I adored horses’ still do. Also loved Mr’ Edd’! Those were the days. My mother’s cousin was married to a race horse owner back in the 1950’s , Had a horse that won the English Grandnational I think it was in the late 50’s. Was the first and only grey to win it at the time. Memory lane, to share with you! David it’s so sweet and kind of you to explain why you always signed with Happy Trails. Love and light I wish for you.Lol. xxxx

  16. Hey David, I still have my albums on vinyl from the 70s. Loved the art work on the Dreams album & also love the Bali Hi track. I was lucky to see you perform twice in
    Sheffield , Newcastle, & Glasgow at the concert which was filmed.
    Your music always takes me back to my teen years! Hoping you are keeping well.
    Happy trails from your U.K. fans.xx

  21. Hi David,
    When I was about 14 years old I fell in love with the image of David Cassidy.
    Later going through 20,s 30,s 40, 50,s I fell in love with your talent and the voice.
    I have been devastated by your recent health problems which as inspired me to do something .
    When I was about 14 you did a campaign in Britain regarding Keep Britian Tidy. From that day I have never dropped any litter .
    Now you have inspired me to raise money for the Alzheimer’s charity.
    I wish you all the very best . Xxx

  22. David, happy trails to you until we

You have the nicest fans, so exciting to read all the posts , and we can be who each one of us are. And we all love hearing from you David.

  26. Thank you David for the explanation behind
    Happy Trails! I am in Southern California
    on vacation visiting family. I came to the
    conclusion I could never move out here.
    The east coast rocks! Hi Denice! I sent you a
    post card from California. I can’t wait to get
    back home! Sunday is airplane day!

  27. I like your post Denice! I agree with you David’s
    website is the best website ever! I have 4 days
    left to my California trip. My youngest sister is in
    France, I am taking care of her little dog. My
    middle sister is a school nurse, she is gone all
    day. So I have a lot of time on my hands to
    reflect about my life. I walked 2 miles to mail
    your post card. You should get it by Monday.
    I am thinking about writing you a letter. You
    take care! Sincerely your friend , Felicia from Ma.

  28. Yes the east coast rocks,and I hope soon it happens and David Cassidy,gets recognized for all the rock and rolling,music he put out for decades. Hi David,Felicia can’t wait for your postcard,but do enjoy the days left on your trip. What part of California? I need a vacation soon, I played some music David sang,on partridge songs,his voice sounds so good on the song money money. His voice is the greatest. Felicia have a nice few days there, and like we talk, live in the moment. David I meet a good friend thanks to you,and she’s a great fan of yours from the heart. Life has happy moments.

  29. Hi Margaret Staat!
    I am sorry for the delayed response. You asked
    me in a previous post why did your name turn
    blue on the post just like mine did. I don’t know.
    Maybe we are special fans! We broke no law so
    I doubt if they pull our names from the website.
    Good to hear from you Margaret. I am on vacation
    in Southern California. How are you doing?
    I love this website! Take care!

    • Hi Felicia. Thanks for your response. It is nice that you get some alone time. I read your post about your sister. Siblings can be a pain as well as a blessing. As my mom used to say, “This too will pass!” Take care.

  32. Dear Denice!
    You are a peach! God bless your heart! It is
    hard being the oldest. I am the oldest of 6. The
    only sibling I have an excellent relationship, is
    my brother Norman. We are only one tear apart
    in age. He is the only sibling that has kids and
    grandkids. I have a wonderful relationship with
    my brother’s oldest son and his wife and 4 kids.
    You helped me so much today. Thank you for
    sharing your sister story. We can forgive and move
    on but by God it is so hard to forget. I will zip
    my lip, and be a model guest. I am going to
    write you a letter, I feel inspired to start
    writing today. I am so blessed to have you as a
    friend. Thank you for your concern. I go to the
    airport on Sunday. For right now I am going
    to enjoy my last 2 days in California. I can’t
    fix anybody, so I got to take good care of
    myself. Denice you are awesome, you helped me
    so much! I love the David Cassidy website!

  34. I’m glad I could help,you know what they say we can’t pick our families,but we can pick our friends. So on that note Felicia your last 2days will be great. There will be something come along that you have to create your happiness for the last 2 days. Somehow in family situation s the love is just hidden. So we argue. All of us have different situation s that made it happen. Meet someone nice on the plane have a good conversation. David Cassidy thank you for so much. You have inspired so much good to make us fans happy. You have always been honest. I just so happy to have you as my favorite entertainer of all time and all the special things you have done. The work with race horses touched my heart. They deserve a great retirement. I love the Kentucky Derby race. When they don’t race nomore deserve the green pastures.

  35. Hi Mr. David Cassidy,
    My husband Richard and me Lupe have always loved you. We especially adored you on the partridge family show. You were the best. Along with Shirley Jones a very beautiful woman. Don’t get us wrong you are/were a very hansom guy. My husband was in love with your hair and look that he tried the best to copy you. We pray and hope the best for you in your triumph to fight Dementia. we love you David.

  36. you have a mention in the magazine classic rock this month, it is to do with mick ronson who did some producing for you, an anniversary,and onto keeping fit, I eat healthily and have plenty of exercise especially as I approach my sixties, keeps the mind and body healthy, I have found eating fresh beetroot, is especially good for the mind, don`t know if you like it, and I have recently bought air purifiers, and I feel a whole lot healthy, can breath more clearly, which is good for the lungs and brain, can`t do no harm anyway, hope any tips will help.

  37. Hi Denice !
    I wrote you a letter today, Saturday, April
    29th. I mailed it this morning ! Tomorrow is
    airplane day. I leave California tomorrow.
    This has been a bitter sweet trip!

  38. Hi Felicia,glad things worked out,have safe return, can’t wait to hear from you,and life will go on,and I’m sure your cat will be happy to see you, in the meantime I hope David Cassidy is doing real good, the other day my friend Michael said out of the blue , how he really had a great time when I took him to see David’s shows, but he said he worked so hard through the years, time for him to work on himself. My friend Michael said he’s going to work on his life. So there you have it maybe David is inspiring more people to take better care of themselves. My friend is 61. David Cassidy has the best singing voice, great to know I was not the only one who thought David Cassidy was different and one great star and a legend that we all got to share in his fame and we enjoyed and truly had fun. David it is great to tell you all good things about you. *Felicia be safe and hope your time there worked out for the better end. Being the oldest is a tough one, I know from experience, I glad change ages and responsibilities. David take care also.

  39. Thanks–loved Roy Rogers show–always watched it as a kid–so Happy Trails David==and keep Day Dream Believing!—Luv Denise

  40. ❤️❤️? Happy memories ?

    I like it when he yodels in that song ?

  42. Glad your back safe Felicia,sent you a letter today. I was worried, Hope your doing good David. Looking forward to when we hear from you David.

  43. Hi Denice!
    I got back from California 3 days ago!
    I love being home. I did sit next to a cute
    guy on the plane ride home. We talked
    for about one hour. Unfortunately he was
    married! But that was okay because I was
    comfortable talking to him. I hope you
    got your postcard. I also wrote you a
    letter. I am feeling much better. I learnt
    a lot about myself on my vacation.
    It feels so good to express myself on
    David’s website. God bless David Cassidy
    forever and a day!

  44. David,

    Are you still going to record “Little Things Mean a Lot?” I know you have a lot on your plate right now, though. Have a wonderful day.

    Margaret

  45. Hi David, no matter what life is throwing at you now,just remember , You WillGet through this in time. The experiences , love you gave, and the legend you are no one can take that. Derby Day is almost here, I don’t have a favorite, I love all the horses, I’m going to a racetrack to people watch, get a snack,and just simply enjoy horse day. Wish you the same. Please take care of yourself first. Hi Felicia,see you meet someone nice on the plane home and had good conversation. On a lighter note I hope David Cassidy stays single for whatever time,because he needs his freedom, and no stress of a relationship, now that my thought. When your mind is free and clear, your health feels better. I’m off to the races. David each and every fan you have are special people to you. Stay in touch with us FOREVER.

  46. A new day a new outlook! Life is good! David
    Cassidy if you are reading this I want you to
    know you are loved! You have the best fans in
    the world! They are intelligent, articulate, loyal
    and genuine! David may God bless you every day
    of your life!
