David Cassidy


Just how could I say no to Joanne's suggestion to see the one & only David Cassidy???? After prepping ourselves with You-Tube Partridge Family tunes, we headed to the River Rock Casino for the big show!

(we are all 45-55 year old females!!!)




I am seriously considering paying Joanne to drive with me during my commute to work and back. She completely settled me down as I was STRESSING (big time) over the Pitt River Bridge. Would you believe, the one night we have an "oh so important appointment", the Pitt bridge decides to close for a swing?????? I understand the rivers are a little high, but honestly, I'm sure the barge could have squeaked under the darn bridge...... At any rate, we made it to the River Rock with 2 minutes to spare - deciding that a trip to the washroom was more of a priority than a trip to the bar.

The show was great - and he started with "I can feel your heartbeat". I was keeping my fingers crossed he would do my favorite "Point me in the Direction of Albuquerque" and he did - third song! It was awesome! He did Cherish, a few others, some Eric Clapton and John Lennon, and finished with "I think I love You". Needless to say, when the mass of middle aged women rushed down to the stage/dance floor, we were part of the pack! We had an awesome night! Great concert, even if he's a tad botoxed and balding.........

Checkin In!

I am still alive! My friend JH has been gently urging me to blog again. It has been almost 9 months - and yes, I am still Trailer Trash. In the back of my little mind, I was hoping to blog once we were in the house. Although we are getting very close to finishing the house, I'm guessing we're still a month or so away.

JH and I are quite giddy about seeing the David Cassidy show tomorrow night! I was crazy about him in Elementary school and happened to hear him on a radio interview the other day. I must admit I haven't heard (or thought) much about him in the past 35 years or so - but it'll be a fun night of nostalgia! We do not have front-row seats; we are actually sitting about 16 rows back. I brought up this concern to JH (as we may not be able to see him well with our failing eyesight), but she pointed out we will STILL be able to hear him, and maybe it's better that we maintain our image of Keith Partridge, with his boyish looks and long hair, in our minds.
