whitefang Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Yeah, I know. Not exactly a "heavy hitter" on guitar, and the whole "teen idol" and "heart throb"/"Partridge Family" thing going for him, but a buddy's younger sister ADORED him and had all his records. And the buddy played a few cuts from one of his LPs for me and he really wasn't that much of a slouch, but I wouldn't put him up there with the many we here salute regularly. But he died yesterday at age 67, and like Malcolm Young, of DEMENTIA. He was diagnosed with the condition only a year or so ago, if that, and I sure don't understand it. My Grandmother was diagnosed with dementia when she was 78 and lived until age 86, but her ultimate and official cause of death was heart failure. I believe he was waiting for a liver transplant or something, so the "official" cause might have to do with that. I dunno..... Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

Winston Psmith Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I hear you, Whitefang; even if he wasn't one of our heroes, he was one of our tribe. Rest in Peace, David.

Scott Fraser Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I believe after the teen idol thing receded there was a good deal of substance & depression issues in his life, which could account for the early demise. Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duff beer Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 One of my bands played 30 seconds of "Come On Get Happy" to open our first set at a recent gig. People loved it and a couple of them commented that they were disappointed that we didn't play the entire song. I'm old enough to remember The Partridge Family...my sister was a huge David Cassidy fan. I thought Susan Dey was hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d halfnote Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Least important date of 2K17 Less valued that either Danny B or even Susan Dey. Cassidy, said plainly & succinctly, sucked as a musician or guitarist. He defined media meaninglessness. d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
