Happy Thanksgiving

If you are in Florida around Christmas time I’d love to see you at my show on December 19th. There will be a new set list. I’ll be singing a couple of Partridge Family Christmas songs plus a few of my personal favorite Christmas songs, not just the standards.

I haven’t been doing many concerts lately as I’ve had a sore back.  Recently, Craig and I have been discussing possible songs to record. From March next year I will be doing some speaking engagements, speaking about  Alzheimer’s and Alcoholism.

For those of you in the US, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, for we have much to be thankful for.

Happy Trails,

DC

Interview – The Tony Perkins Show

David was recently interviewed on the Tony Perkins Show, a weekly podcast based in Washington D.C. You can listen here:

Episode Information: “Tony and Gary talk to David Cassidy…..yes, THE David Cassidy who was also Keith Partridge of The Partridge Family!  David was once the BIGGEST TEEN IDOL IN THE WORLD, and still performs today to sell-out crowds of devoted fans. In this surprisingly candid and emotional conversation, David opens up about fame and family (including his complicated relationship with his father, actor Jack Cassidy), and his struggle with alcoholism. “

Sad News – Gerry Goffin

The wonderful lyricist Gerry Goffin has died. Gerry wrote more than 50 top 40 hits for many different artists.

He was one of the greatest songwriters in the 20th century. Tortured apparently but a true legend. What he and Carole King did together is beyond great. They rank in the top 5 of ALL song writing teams ever.

I’m very sad, we have lost one of the greats. He wrote ‘I’ll Meet You Halfway’ for me and I’ll never forget that moment when he brought me the demo. It’s still one of my favorite songs I’ve ever recorded.
