The Albums

We are taking you on a nostalgic journey to the good old days, where we got hooked to the magical tunes of Shaun Cassidy.  From his first album aptly named 'Shaun Cassidy' to the hit-single 'Da Doo Ron Ron', we are reminiscing about them all.  Get ready to ride the time machine with us.

Can you recall those iconic commercials promoting Shaun Cassidy's 'Born Late' album? We're bringing all those memories back to life.  Listen in as we debate over our favorite songs from the album and share the significance of that unforgettable back cover.  And we're not stopping there. We delve into the magic of  'Walk Away' and engage in a spirited discussion about the 'Room Service' album cover.  The nostalgia is strong in this one!

As we wrap up, we want to share our joy of collecting Shaun's Records.  Hear Cindy and Dorese as they talk about the large wall-sized poster of the album cover that they were gifted.  Also, let's get a little bit competitive with a trivia game, shall we?  But before we bid adieu, we must talk about Dame's favorite piece of clothing - a satin jacket, a cherished memory of her favorite celebrity.  We hope you enjoyed this nostalgic journey as much as we did.  Stay connected with us and keep the Shaun Cassidy love alive.

Speaker 2 2:13

Well, we're going to go in order, so I'm going to start with the very first one, appley, named Shawn Cassidy.

Speaker 1 2:22

What, what an original. Yeah, we all have this album. I'm going to name it Cindy Lynn.

Speaker 2 2:31

This album, we all had it and we are. A lot of us still have it, I'm holding it, I have it here, the big green and orange writing, and it really I think that they, they, made this to attract our young minds and eyes. And and there he is, with that big, innocent face and his little hat cocked sideways. This album was the beginning of something special to me. I remember running to the record store and buying Shawn Cassidy. I do too.

Speaker 3 3:05

Well, I couldn't run because it was too far away, but I had my dad take me to the McDonough.

Speaker 1 3:09

Rewards.

Speaker 3 3:10

Yeah, just take me to the Montgomery Awards.

Speaker 1 3:12

Yes, that's right. Oh no, I didn't get my Montgomery Awards. It was a record store.

Speaker 2 3:16

I had to buy mine in a record store near the high school I went to cause. No record stores in my neighborhood would have been selling Shawn albums. They had no idea who he.

Speaker 4 3:26

I don't know how I got my tape. I have a tape, or I had a tape that was my only. That was my second tape that I had, but I don't remember having a record. I just had the tape and I was so proud of that tape. That's good too.

Speaker 2 3:41

Well, you had the album some kind of way. Yes, you guys remember when it first came out and the do run run was all over the radio, all over the radio. I have a confession. What I never told you guys this you were dancing.

Speaker 3 3:58

No, she dances to it all the time. I've seen it.

Speaker 2 4:02

I was. I used to listen to a radio station, big radio station station in Chicago, wls, and I used to call in so one time to do run. Run was planned for the seven thousand time and you know they used to play these records every hour on the hour and I called in and I said would you please stop playing that ridiculous to do run you did not.

Speaker 2 4:29

Played the house by the Commodore's or something, because the do run run to do ran ran and I don't want to hear it anymore, doris, you did not, you killed the do run.

Speaker 1 4:43

Oh, and then listen to you though, oh my God.

Speaker 2 4:46

Well, get a load of this. I think it was like a week or two later I was at school and Tiger beat was floating around home room and I'm like whoa, hold on, Stop the presses. And yep, it was all over for me. It's all over at that point Was the header.

Speaker 3 5:04

Doris Blutzo killed the do run run that day maybe.

Speaker 2 5:11

I don't. I don't think they listened to me back there.

Speaker 1 5:14

I think you were over overvoted. Yeah, I was. Well, you know what.

Speaker 3 5:19

I was listening to series XM one day the sixties channel actually, and I forget the DJ name, but he was talking about the do run run, and so what it was is someone had called in and asked how did the do run run come about? And this really was intriguing, because Sean brings it up in his cancer and about a little girl saying daddy, what's a do run run? Well, one of the writers, which is singer, or you mean the compote, the writer or the do run run.

Speaker 2 5:52

Let's just face from the sixties. Yeah right, the crystals Well in 1963, but who was one of the writers?

Speaker 3 5:59

Brits the specter, specter. Yeah, I have, I have.

Speaker 1 6:04

Yeah, or producer. Anyway, what happened was they?

Speaker 3 6:08

had all the lyrics to the song, but they didn't have the medley, I guess, and so he was just sitting there going do, do, do, do. Do you know they're in the space, you know feeling in the space, just making, you know fiddling with some words, and they just let it sit there for a while and idle, and then they thought, you know, it kind of goes with it, and so he liked it. Yeah, I liked it, and that's how they got. They kept it in. They kept it in. Yeah, so five years ago they had a little girl. Yeah, so fun fact.

Speaker 2 6:42

Yeah.

Speaker 4 6:42

Yeah, and Sean used it in 1977, which took it to the billboard Hot 100.

Speaker 3 6:48

Well, I think Sean may have been the first one to take it that far.

Speaker 2 6:52

Yeah, because it was who did it. The crystals.

Speaker 3 6:55

And there was someone else there too.

Speaker 2 6:58

The crystals was pretty big with theirs, because Sean used to hear it on the bus, the school bus. Yeah, he was on the back of his little bus and he were here to do Ron Ron and get all excited.

Speaker 1 7:09

Yeah, and how did it come about Penny? You have a little article about it.

Speaker 3 7:13

I do. Well, here's what I've got. It says since it all started in our neighborhood that's WEA Holland and WEA Germany take the greatest pride in saluting the phenomenal success of all caps, sean Cassidy. His enormous international popularity is now being matched in the US and we're the least surprised of anyone. Our thanks to Warner Brothers Records, ruth Arendt and Mike Kerb for helping make Sean a truly world-class artist. I mean, how wonderful that was in.

Speaker 1 7:57

Germany.

Speaker 2 7:58

Yeah, that was in Germany right before he made a big in the States. Yes, I remember Ruth Arendt. I remember that name, remember reading Tiger Beat, and they always would say if you want to contact Sean Wright, ruth Arendt.

Speaker 1 8:12

She was the manager of all the Cassidy's.

Speaker 4 8:14

Yeah, so was it changed around at all from from like the crystals to when he had it? Did he change a song like from the game.

Speaker 1 8:23

Oh, yeah, yeah, bill to Jill. Yeah, I didn't know, his name was Bill, then it was Jill.

Speaker 3 8:31

OK, well, what was your favorite song on that album?

Speaker 4 8:35

Mine, yeah, or Cindy the song, yeah, the song we're talking about, and there, and also is hey there, lonely Girl. On that one, yes, yes, I love that one. Yes, that's a lot of girls cry even now, when we hear him sing, that we cry.

Speaker 2 8:52

Sean Cassidy is really an album of covers Because he did all of his favorite songs from when he was a little kid and it's really an album of covers. You asked what the favorite song for for this album was. Mine was that's Rock and Roll, which is an original that one had. Eric Carmen wrote it and that was, you know, just to me it was a little less silly than to do Ron. Maybe I was before my time because I really thought to do Ron. I like that.

Speaker 4 9:26

I guess I'm silly and lonely.

Speaker 3 9:29

Well, my favorite song is Morning Girl on there. I really, I, I actually that is my alarm clock Cause I love that song Actually remember the magazine that we were interviewed for in St Charles Lancer magazine.

Speaker 2 9:43

Oh, yes, and she asked our favorite song.

Speaker 3 9:47

Mine was Morning Girl. I just really like that song and the lyrics.

Speaker 1 9:51

I think that's a remake, also the whole album is covers.

Speaker 2 9:55

Except for that's Rock and Roll. Okay, yeah, it's an original, the least favorite, you know. I got to tell you, guys, I always have one that I love and one that I don't like. I really don't like Amblin Me either. Oh my God.

Speaker 1 10:07

I'm like power in the world it's not going anywhere. Oh no To places I want to go.

Speaker 3 10:15

I'm like what is it? Amblin, Amblin? Do you remember like playing the album and you would pick up your needle and skip right over there, or you know it's like you'd be doing something else. You'd have to run back real fast. We did to grab the needle. I would scratch through the one I don't like. I agree, that's the 70s.

Speaker 1 10:36

Oh, that should not have been on there.

Speaker 3 10:38

The kids have it easy. Today, I tell you.

Speaker 2 10:40

But yeah, those were the great. I loved. I did love Sharkasity. No doubt this is a good album. It was my first favorite.

Speaker 1 10:48

It was right up there for every teen heartthrob, yeah, and did it come with a poster inside or no, that's it. Did it come with a poster? He?

Speaker 2 10:56

had a poster. He had a like a stripe.

Speaker 1 10:59

Oh, yes, at his gate yeah.

Speaker 3 11:02

Let me see if I still have it. It's on the back.

Speaker 1 11:04

Oh, yes, yes there he is With that striped shirt.

Speaker 3 11:08

Yeah, hey, you know what I found out, though, if you, look at the back of all the albums you can write to Sharkasity. I'm sure I did.

Speaker 4 11:17

Mine has a poster in it, yep. Yes, I think it has his jacket on. Yes, I still have it In there.

Speaker 1 11:25

It's his black jacket.

Speaker 2 11:27

Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 11:29

That's going on the wall.

Speaker 2 11:30

I'm going to hang it up again.

Speaker 3 11:32

No, we're putting it right here, where we can see it in the studio. Wow, it's hanging. Doris, do not put that back in. It's hanging up.

Speaker 1 11:39

It's always exciting to find an album that has the poster with it.

Speaker 3 11:43

Oh hey, but ladies thank you, ladies, get your pen and paper I'm giving you the address. We are going to write Sean Cassidy. So here it is, ready. Are you ready, ready? Okay, it says write to Sean Cassidy and care of Aaron's entertainment 9665. Will Shire Boulevard, suite 320, beverly Hills, california, 90212. No, it's 90212.

Speaker 2 12:17

Beverly Hills, california, changed their zip code back in the day. What does it know? 90210. Come on.

Speaker 3 12:24

Well, but they go by like it's not the whole, not the whole city. I mean, I'm sure like Chicago has many zip codes, well, so wouldn't you think Beverly Hills would have many zip codes, as big as this Maybe?

Speaker 2 12:36

these guys it does Check out. There's it. I'm sure Aaron entertainment and everything else has since clothes folded and moved on.

Speaker 1 12:45

Yeah, I think so Well.

Speaker 3 12:46

I don't care. I am writing a letter with pen and paper.

Speaker 1 12:51

I might have wrote to Universal Studios, because that's where the Hardy Boys was filmed.

Speaker 3 12:55

Well, you know, as we go through more albums, I will check it out and see how many places we can write to Sean Well let's move on to boring late the second, second one released November 8th 1977.

Speaker 2 13:09

Now can I tell you guys remember back in the day when you watch TV there would be commercials for new albums coming out. I loved the born late commercial.

Speaker 1 13:22

I don't remember it.

Speaker 2 13:23

You don't remember.

Speaker 1 13:24

No, remember I remember his commercials.

Speaker 4 13:27

I cannot forget his commercials.

Speaker 2 13:29

I stole a line from the beginning of the born late commercial because it started out. There was a guy kind of narrating or something and he said on the 27th day of September 1958, a child was born a little too late, or something like that something like that Because he liked the piece because I'm my very first poem that I ever wrote was called Sean and I made that the first line of my poem.

Speaker 2 13:57

So I remember the born late commercial and I remember coming out I think it was in the summer. I remember seeing that commercial born late, was released November. Born late was released in November 77.

Speaker 1 14:12

November 8th.

Speaker 4 14:13

Yes, I have that down. I would go see my grandparents in Hollywood during that time and I just remember that commercial coming on. And in my house I didn't have a TV because I was in Northern California without electricity. But when I would go and visit my grandparents in Hollywood I would see that commercial and I would see Sean and this sounds crazy but I would walk up to the TV and kiss it. I think we all did.

Speaker 3 14:38

I think we all did. I mean, we kissed all of our posters, of course, and probably the TV at the same time. But, doris, do you have that poem?

Speaker 2 14:50

Oh, I definitely. I have the poem that I wrote originally. I still have, with all my scratch out and change this and move that, the original original of it, but I don't have it with me right now. We'll do that when we talk about memorabilia.

Speaker 3 15:07

Oh yeah, I'm still looking forward to that.

Speaker 1 15:10

Doris, what's on the back of his album? There's many pictures on there and there's significance to each of them. Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 15:16

Born late Kennedy born ladies, the piano, his family piano, and then all of the framed photographs that they used to. They used to have on their piano or maybe just throughout the house. But did you know that one of the pictures is the Hardy Boyz?

Speaker 1 15:31

Yeah, the original Hardy Boyz.

Speaker 2 15:35

And you got JFK there he passed away in 63.

Speaker 1 15:39

Yes, yes.

Speaker 2 15:41

And you have Shirley and Jack.

Speaker 4 15:43

Yeah, no wonder born late.

Speaker 2 15:45

Yeah, well, you know. Sean says the reason he named the title to this album born latest because he's a note, so he felt like he was born late, he missed the sixties, he loved the.

Speaker 1 15:59

Beatles and the sixties. Yeah yeah, he was born in 58. So he was too young to.

Speaker 2 16:04

Yes.

Speaker 1 16:04

Enjoy it, but the other person on the back is Dick Clark.

Speaker 2 16:08

Yes.

Speaker 1 16:09

Which I guess would help him with his career. He was on American Bandstand and he has all the 45s land there All the 45s. And then I believe this is his manager, Ruth Aaron's is another picture on here. I don't know who the other picture is with a mask on or glasses. There's another picture with a guy.

Speaker 3 16:26

I see that In the back.

Speaker 1 16:27

Yeah, I don't know who that one is. So Sean's listening. Maybe he can explain to us who that guy is.

Speaker 4 16:33

For somebody, write us and tell us.

Speaker 3 16:34

Yeah, but my favorite picture is in the middle, little Sean standing up at the piano.

Speaker 1 16:41

Yeah, when you open the.

Speaker 2 16:44

Bible, the cover.

Speaker 1 16:45

Courtesy of his mama.

Speaker 4 16:47

He was ready. He's ready to start his music.

Speaker 3 16:49

And you know what? Those shoes? I love this good saddle shoe, but I don't think they were called saddle shoes because weren't those like considered those walking the?

Speaker 2 16:57

baby toddler shoes.

Speaker 3 16:59

Yeah, the stride right. Walking shoes yes and yeah.

Speaker 2 17:02

Yes, so born late. Good album, good records. Everybody knows the main one, everybody knows the first single, your favorite song.

Speaker 3 17:12

Well, mine is Teen Dream, but I like them all. I mean I girl like you. Walk away, carolina, come all of them. Every single song on here it's my favorite. Every single one of them is a good song, audrey.

Speaker 2 17:28

But can you believe, the first single off the very first single was the side to first single, hey Dini. So they normally didn't, they normally release the song from side one, not side two usually.

Speaker 3 17:44

Hey Dini. Yeah, usually they released it from side one, yeah, then a side to, but yeah, but hey, dini was a site. What was AMB, wasn't it?

Speaker 2 17:53

Yeah.

Speaker 3 17:53

Yeah, so, but yeah, what was it? Hey, dini was a site A, side B, side B Two.

Speaker 1 17:59

Yeah.

Speaker 3 18:01

The first one on a 45 isn't a 45, but he, dini, was a 45. Correct, yeah.

Speaker 2 18:07

Right here. What I'm saying is they released a Dini as a 45, but it's a site two Track.

Speaker 1 18:16

Yeah, what's on the other side. What's on the other side, penny?

Speaker 3 18:19

They've got a sensation.

Speaker 1 18:21

Oh, straight yeah, that's not like that one.

Speaker 3 18:24

But oh, I thought I thought he Dini was a site A. It is yeah, you guys are misunderstanding.

Speaker 2 18:29

I don't know On the album you have the album.

Speaker 3 18:32

It's a side two, yeah, and the 45, it's a site A.

Speaker 2 18:36

They released it as a single Five from a site to track yeah.

Speaker 3 18:42

The album yeah. That's what I was saying, but I think we were. I think we were crossing text. I think that was a verbal cross text.

Speaker 2 18:51

Anyway, hey, Dini is another Eric Carmen.

Speaker 3 18:54

Yeah, which I love, love, love that one.

Speaker 2 18:57

Everybody loves, hey, dini.

Speaker 3 18:59

Yes, hey, listen as long as long keeps singing.

Speaker 2 19:03

I could have done without strange sensation. I didn't like it yeah.

Speaker 1 19:07

The least preferred on the album and Sean wrote it Now.

Speaker 2 19:11

One of my all time favorites Sean's songs, one of is walk away.

Speaker 1 19:16

Yes, I like that one too. Oh, yes, love that one.

Speaker 3 19:19

Love it. Love it, one of my favorites.

Speaker 1 19:22

He's always got a slow, nice ballad on each album which draws you in Lisa Hartman, that's a walk away.

Speaker 2 19:27

Lisa Hartman before she married Clint Black. Clint Black, she recorded walk away.

Speaker 1 19:33

Oh I did listen to that version. It's nice, but Sean has the best one here we go Another six degrees.

Speaker 3 19:40

Lisa Hartman played on, wasn't she in Dallas?

Speaker 1 19:44

I don't know, was she on the soap operas? No.

Speaker 3 19:47

I think she. What was that? Yeah, hang on, we got to do a little research here. I think she was on Dallas.

Speaker 1 19:53

I don't know, she was on some show.

Speaker 3 19:56

Well, what was the other show? That was Lisa Hurtman, I think she played in a soap opera, not a soap opera. But what was the other besides Dallas? What was that other one?

Speaker 2 20:10

that like Not Slending.

Speaker 3 20:11

Yeah, not Slending. Was she in Not Slending? Was she in Not Slending?

Speaker 4 20:16

Yep, yes, it says Not Slending. She also did four solo albums.

Speaker 3 20:21

Yeah, but anyway, so we, because we were talking about Patrick Duffy earlier and In another episode we did mention Patrick Duffy. Yeah, so anyway, hey, are we done with foreign light, or yeah, let's talk about under wraps oh, my favorite.

Speaker 2 20:41

Now everybody knows, under wraps is my favorite. Oh, I love it.

Speaker 3 20:47

Love the picture you know speak of under wraps. I had trouble reading the title. Look at it. Look at under wraps. I see what you're saying I was like I know what it says, but I'm looking at it going something collapse. It was just weird, you know, with the writing, you know, even though I know it's under wraps.

Speaker 1 21:10

I think it looks like ribbon. It's like plastic. If you've ever done a plastic, I bet you it's like a ribbon.

Speaker 2 21:15

Fine To go with it If he was a present I always wonder why he called it under wraps Like what was he under?

Speaker 1 21:24

wraps. Yeah, I don't know the backstory to that one, I don't either, but you know, anybody does let us know.

Speaker 3 21:29

Yeah, but you know, maybe he kind of knew it was going to be coming to an end soon, I don't know. Wraps.

Speaker 2 21:37

Well, we all know what gave us under wraps. I mean, we all know what under wraps gave us. I said well, let me tell you my favorite song she's right, oh my God. I love it. He wrote that right.

Speaker 3 21:49

Yeah, yeah, he did I think. Yeah, you know, what I like is I've been to eight concerts with Doris and I'm telling you she doesn't even have to hear a tune, she knows when he's playing it. I mean literally. I do too, you know yeah, she doesn't even need to hear it, she can just tell when he sits down at the piano, what, when it's coming on and she starts singing and dancing like right, then yeah, yeah, it's just, it's priceless, it's precious. But you know just how much she loves the song. Sing for us.

Speaker 2 22:21

No, but if you listen to it there is the.

Favorite Songs and Album Covers Discussion

Speaker 2 22:27

There is a to me. There is like a jazzy kind of R&B rhythm to this song and it's the horns and the guitar and the piano. I'm not the lyrics, I don't care that much about. Yeah, you were young and some girl was trying to teach you. You don't know everything there, dude, let's let me show you the ways. But the, the arrangement, the absolute arrangement and the end of the song. When they just go with the instrumental, I just love this song, the, the musical arrangement of it.

Speaker 4 23:01

Hey girls, guess guess which one is my favorite.

Speaker 2 23:04

Which one is yours?

Speaker 4 23:06

Staying from that album.

Speaker 3 23:09

Um, it's like Kevin, maybe, yes, yes, that's one of my favorites too.

Speaker 1 23:14

I love that one too, but Taxi.

Speaker 3 23:16

Dance is my favorite.

Speaker 1 23:17

I can't explain you why I like that song, but I should remember playing over and over again.

Speaker 3 23:21

No, it's catchy. I listened to that song to get me into the right mood driving here today. I listened to it three times. And yeah, it just has a way of getting me into that right now.

Speaker 1 23:33

But isn't it about a stripper or somebody?

Speaker 2 23:35

No, a taxi dancer back in the day was a person that sold dances and they had a dance card and you were paid to get your just a regular dance. Yeah, back, I'm talking when they had dance halls and everything. That's what, it's what years, so in the thirties, forties, when they had real, real live ballroom dance.

Speaker 3 23:59

Well, they did that even in the sixties.

Speaker 2 24:02

Yeah, and you had to put your dance card in.

Speaker 3 24:05

Yeah.

Speaker 2 24:06

I think that's what a taxi dancer was.

Speaker 3 24:08

Dame, haven't you like ever heard and I'm sure you have heard it referenced, you know, in different TV shows and movies, when a guy will walk up to a lady and say, can I have the stance? And they'll go play cards full? Oh yeah, I didn't hear that part.

Speaker 1 24:25

Yeah, the first one. Yeah, that's what it means. Yeah.

Speaker 3 24:30

And you know, and she'll say it, whether her card really is full or if she doesn't want to dance with the gentleman, they'll say my cards full, yeah.

Speaker 4 24:37

Well, you, you guys know, I've been studying ancestry. Well, I was thinking about this because my grandmother, my great grandmother, ended up going to New York and she was this type of a dancer, and then I looked into it more and she was more of a show dancer.

Speaker 1 24:52

So oh, that's a fun yeah, fun thing to find out Interesting.

Speaker 2 24:56

So a taxi dancer is a dance partner in a ballroom dance. Taxi dancers work on dance by dance basis. When taxi dancing first appeared in taxi dance balls during the early 20th century in the United States, a male patron typically bought dance tickets for a small sum of money. So don't ask me how I knew that, but I remember finding that out.

Speaker 3 25:24

Yeah, Um, you know, I was looking at the album and Sean actually wrote four songs on this. So he actually wrote hard love. He wrote taxi dancer. On the backside he wrote she's right and right before you. Smart man, I think I've ever heard that one right before this guy.

Speaker 2 25:43

Oh that's a. That's another slow one. Yeah, so it's more of a like Ballot, ballot. I mean it's really kind of like I would take the album off when he got to write before your skies.

Speaker 1 25:56

Yeah, there's always one song on each album that you put at the bottom of the list. I think that's the one on that one.

Speaker 3 26:02

You know again, I'm passionate about songwriters and I'm intrigued by the poetry, or what draws them.

Speaker 1 26:12

And Sean's cousin has shows some of the stories behind the songs and some of these songs. See why he's doing this.

Speaker 3 26:18

I would like to know why he wrote them or what wrote them and you know I love the way he talks about Teen Dream and where he wrote it. Yes, about us, and yeah, and the inspiration about it. So speak about us. I know we've all been trying to figure it out. Did any of us find the song that he wrote to sing for us when he came back out to tour? That remember he wrote it and, like, pitched it to his wife?

Speaker 4 26:47

Yes, and she thought it would be cheesy, but you know, yeah, and it kind of.

Speaker 3 26:51

it's kind of like a comedy, but it's not. It's really cute and I thought I had it. I only had like a little clip of it.

Speaker 1 27:00

Oh, I remember the name of the song. It was called the last song I write and everybody loved it at the shows and I hope he does it again because I think it's a great song From the audience and it made everybody so happy. So, yeah, that was the great song he surprises with with this last tour.

Speaker 3 27:31

Yeah, so what? What's our next song or album? Is it the live or no? We have Sean.

Speaker 1 27:37

Korsley Room Service which was released July 1st 1979. So Room Service.

Speaker 4 27:43

Oh, there's another one. I love Heaven in your Eyes.

Speaker 2 27:47

He's getting to the end of his his career. Well, it's still a good album. You know, I know I'm not saying the albums, I love the album. I'm just saying who knew that this was getting towards the end?

Speaker 4 28:02

I didn't know, yeah, before Wasp.

Speaker 2 28:03

Yeah.

Speaker 3 28:04

I didn't expect it. Out of all the album covers so far, I'm not a fan of this one. I mean, and he's got no shirt on? Well, you know, he has a wife beater on who's looking in the window.

Speaker 2 28:16

Well, that's probably one of his many fans Living in Fountain. It's one of us.

Speaker 3 28:22

But I don't know, because it kind of looks like a guy looking in. So I'm wondering if it's him. It could be anybody If it's him looking in. There's another backstory we need to find out about I wonder, because it looks like short hair and it look, you know, kind of.

Speaker 1 28:37

look at the ear there I think it looks like a girl, but I don't. Yeah, I think it's a girl.

Speaker 3 28:42

I think it looks like a guy, and so it makes me wonder if it's him looking in at him. I don't know. I think it's me, oh no, because you have long hair and you. And if it's a girl, if it's a girl, she's got really short hair and or it's pulled behind her ear or something, because if you look, there's really no hair on the neck. So this album cover is really confusing to me.

Speaker 1 29:05

But yet there's lipstick on the, on the coffee cup and doesn't relate to any song on the album Right.

Speaker 2 29:11

Well mystery.

Speaker 1 29:13

It's called room service.

Speaker 2 29:15

Why it is related. Well, he was on the road a lot right.

Speaker 1 29:19

That's true.

Speaker 2 29:20

He always had to stay in different hotel rooms, right?

Speaker 1 29:24

What's on the TV to it? I think it's a hardy boys.

Speaker 4 29:27

I don't think that's somebody with A shirt like his looks like his head. Yeah, it looks like what he's wearing on the TV, yeah.

Speaker 2 29:36

If you turn over the album. There's a cup with the lipstick.

Speaker 1 29:40

The lipstick.

Speaker 2 29:41

There's his shirt, shirt and now they have their menu and they're going to order. There is the day or it's that night, and I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 29:53

he invited the guests from the window into the room to put her lipstick on the cup.

Speaker 2 29:59

We're detectives.

Speaker 3 30:00

We know what they did. I'm not buying it, Cindy.

Speaker 2 30:03

they put their lipstick on the cup and that's pretty much all they did.

Speaker 3 30:09

For evidence. But no, I'm not buying it because here's what I see. If you look at the TV, it's a guy in a wife beater shirt with the same hair that. Sean has. That's why I think it's him. So I think it's Sean looking in at Sean and Sean watching Sean on TV. I think it's like a reflection of Sean, sean, sean looking in on Sean. You know like kind of a career or something like I don't know.

Speaker 1 30:37

Looking back at what he.

Speaker 3 30:38

I don't know. I think it's a reflection of something Okay. It could be because the mirror is the mirror of reflection of himself, but he's looking out but see, he's looking out the window and maybe he sees himself looking in the window, I think you might be on the front.

Speaker 4 30:57

I think that girl's supposed to be a representation of all of us.

Speaker 3 31:01

There's no girl to redeem, no girl.

Speaker 1 31:05

Well, somebody put the lipstick on.

Speaker 3 31:07

That is just the maid did it, the maid? Now we're never, never, never into the game of clout.

Speaker 1 31:13

The maid found him Okay.

Speaker 3 31:14

Let's talk about the music. Yeah, let's, let's.

Speaker 2 31:16

Let's talk, sean taught us to be detectives right Sean taught us to talk you know I used to play this album over, and, over and over. I really did. I thought it finally had some riveting good rock sound to it, you know.

Speaker 1 31:32

I like break for the street. I did like that one.

Speaker 3 31:35

I like that one a lot, yes.

Speaker 4 31:37

I like heaven in your eyes, of course.

Speaker 3 31:39

We used the music from break Um yes, we did On our concerts.

Speaker 2 31:44

Other episode yeah, yeah, I loved it. Are you afraid of me? I don't know, are you afraid of me? Maybe that's what the album covers about.

Speaker 1 31:56

Are you afraid of me? You're picking in the window at me.

Speaker 2 31:59

Well, if you listen to the lyrics of are you afraid of me, there's some good, some good stuff in there.

Speaker 1 32:07

Yeah there is I really loved.

Speaker 2 32:09

are you afraid of me and break for the street?

Speaker 4 32:12

Well, I really liked the one you're using me. I don't know why, but I liked it the way it feels. I don't know, on Sundays I would tell Alexa to still play that. I know this is now instead of then, but I still like that song.

Speaker 2 32:25

No, that's a great song. You're using me, yeah, and calling into you. That's a. I like that one.

Speaker 3 32:32

I was going to say I like that one probably the best. But he either wrote or co wrote five, five of the songs on this one.

Speaker 2 32:39

That's it Then he do in one of his earlier magic of the midnight um skies tour. You're, you still surprised me, didn't he tell a story? And he says you guys, you still surprised me? I don't think he played it.

Speaker 1 32:55

Oh, he didn't play.

Speaker 2 32:56

I don't think he did.

Speaker 1 32:58

I don't remember that one.

Speaker 2 32:59

Well, maybe in my head I was singing it.

Speaker 1 33:02

I'm going to see what the favorite is on that one.

Speaker 3 33:06

You know I need to go to another concert just to remember. Yeah, cause the eight wasn't enough.

Speaker 1 33:12

The letter I know was a remake.

Speaker 3 33:13

Listen, it was enough for somebody, but eight, it's not for me. For me, well, they had a TV show, so I'm talking about yep, it's not enough for me.

Speaker 4 33:23

It's not enough for me. There's a. That's our new title.

Speaker 3 33:26

Yes, Hopefully this fall I'll get nine, 10.

Speaker 2 33:29

I think the record company decided between Sean Cassidy room service and his last album, wasp, which we'll talk about in a minute. Yeah, I think they decided let's put out a live album.

Speaker 1 33:41

Yeah, that was the next one that was released on January 1st 1979.

Speaker 2 33:47

Yeah, that's rock and roll, live and it's a good album. Now it is my favorite song on this one. It's not one of his songs. You've lost that love and feeling.

Speaker 1 34:01

I like that one.

Speaker 2 34:02

Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 1 34:03

You didn't get that in our head.

Speaker 2 34:04

I loved the way he does it. Yeah, he was good. Every time I hear the song, no matter if I hear the Everly brothers or no the right thing is or I hear Hall and notes covered it. Not a fan whoever covered it. I'm always in my head singing it the Sean way. Yes, I agree, elvis covered it Everybody.

Speaker 3 34:26

I know.

Speaker 2 34:28

I think of top gun.

Speaker 3 34:30

You think it's hot? I think of the hot gun.

Speaker 2 34:32

Yep, and that to me. You would think I would say she's right, but you've lost that love and feeling. On Sean Cassidy live.

Speaker 1 34:42

What was the next good one on there?

Speaker 2 34:44

Oh, they had a. Oh, it's a bunch of good ones on there, A bunch.

Speaker 1 34:49

Oh yeah, he Dean, he was on there. Hard love was a good song, live I like hard love because you can rub up on that one. Yeah, he did go on that one Bad boy. I didn't like that one.

Speaker 2 34:59

I don't like bad boy.

Speaker 1 35:00

That one was kind of weird to me.

Speaker 2 35:02

Wasn't that like a mashup bad boy and something that slowed down or something?

Speaker 1 35:06

I think it's a remake.

Speaker 2 35:07

Didn't he mash two together?

Speaker 1 35:09

I think so. Yep, I think so.

Speaker 2 35:13

I really liked live. It was really a good album. It came out after I finally seen them live. I hadn't seen them in the earlier shows, so it came out in 79, I guess after I finally seen them and I went. Yeah, I remember the concert. Oh, you know, it was like remembering hearing these songs.

Speaker 1 35:34

It doesn't say on the album where it was recorded at, though does it? Or maybe they did it various places, I don't know.

Speaker 2 35:40

I can read the small part.

Speaker 3 35:41

Yeah, it doesn't say. I'm wondering if it was. But the do-or-run run is featuring the crystals. Oh yeah, they went to a.

Speaker 1 35:50

They did a show with him.

Speaker 2 35:52

They were at one of the shows. That's awesome. It was live.

Speaker 1 35:54

He did it with them. It was great.

Speaker 3 35:56

That's awesome I do like this album the front. Yeah, I like this one.

Speaker 2 36:02

It just says recorded live on tour so it could be various places, Various arenas, whichever one had the best audio, maybe. Yeah.

Speaker 1 36:09

But you always wonder if it's a show you went to.

Speaker 2 36:11

Yeah.

Speaker 4 36:12

I wonder. I like the colors on the album and how it's kind of blurred and yeah, they did a good job with that and it came with an insert oh, do we have it? Yes, it's a concert insert now you're gonna have everybody looking.

Speaker 1 36:32

You're lucky if you get one with an insert. It's showing concert pictures.

Speaker 3 36:41

Let me go get mine, oh my god, I am going to get so much trouble if I hang this at home. Can?

Speaker 2 36:51

I hang it in the studio, yeah, but it's a booklet there we go, multiple pages and his butt at the end.

Speaker 1 37:02

That's the good pictures, I love.

Speaker 3 37:14

DeRisa's face right now. She, she, she's just speechless. I forgot and all about it.

Speaker 2 37:23

Right, I'm casting the live twice, which means I have two books. Hopefully I wouldn't have thrown them away right, you bought them, so you have the albums during the day, I didn't get them now at.

Speaker 3 37:37

Cindy, I've had this. What for?

Speaker 1 37:39

two years yeah, I gave you that one.

Speaker 3 37:41

Yeah, cindy. Oh God bless you, cindy. She knew that all my stuff got lost many, many, many years ago or thrown out during a move or something, and gifted me for my birthday yes, I find these at resale stores. Oh my god, I never leave them there and this is like Barbie week. I gave her the Sean Barbie yes, well, you gave me Sean Barbie for Christmas. Yeah, isn't?

Speaker 4 38:07

it something like that, but since this is like Barbie week, I thought that was kind of cool it is appropriate yes well, doris, what else do you have to say about any albums out there?

Speaker 2 38:16

well, let's wrap it up real quick with I hate to say it, I didn't want to get stung, oh well, hey.

Speaker 1 38:25

I'm gonna talk about a stinger of an album. Yeah, that's why are you?

Collecting Shaun Cassidy records

Speaker 2 38:38

allergic to this one. Let's boogie, what's the name of my record store. Let's boogie records and take and, and I forgot to mention this when we talked about born late. But Neil Neil, the owner of let's boogie, gave me this big, huge wall size poster of the born late album cover and I carried it home on a bus to from the record store and my mother got kind of mad cuz I hung this huge picture of Sean Cassidy on the wall and I still have it. Well, when I went to get wasp I almost left it there. I was like what in the world is this? I mean the broken glass.

Speaker 3 39:26

Hey, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but you said a big, huge poster, like life size it was a wall size.

Speaker 2 39:35

Wall size. The album cover. The front side of born late oh, born late.

Speaker 3 39:41

Okay now, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but did it roll up or did you have to carry?

Speaker 2 39:48

it. So he rolled it up, okay, and it came in a canister. Okay, it was a record store promotion thing.

Speaker 1 39:55

I got one of those two with the first album so huge.

Speaker 2 39:59

He saved it for me and I remember cuz, like I said, I didn't go to high school in the community I lived in, so I remember I had to carry it home on the bus and that thing was big but I didn't care.

Speaker 3 40:14

I was coming through, I went to what is that I see Dorees? I picture the wall comb with mine.

Speaker 1 40:22

I went to Montgomery wards at the mall by my house and you go up the escalator and there's the record department and all of a sudden there's this huge picture Sean, I don't know how many feet wide, I mean it's feet wide big square.

Speaker 1 40:35

Picture of his first album yeah and then you got the live stand-up version or the life-size version of him standing up holding the record, and I immediately went to the counter and I said can I have those when you're done with it? And she said sure, and she put my name down and I didn't think I was gonna get it. But then they called me and said okay, we took it down, come pick it up, but you can't fold it. It was like like cardboard thing and you had to carry it like it was.

Speaker 1 41:04

I couldn't fit in a car. I had to walk at home and everybody had to walk across the street and I've got Sean Cassidy.

Speaker 3 41:12

That's cute actually that's why I was asking Dorees like was it a cardboard cut out like a yes, like this thing right here or mine?

Speaker 2 41:21

was a poster. I didn't get the cardboard cut out. Stand up.

Speaker 1 41:25

I wish mine was a poster, because I couldn't bend this thing I was a poster that you roll up and it came in a canister oh, they had this thing hanging from the ceiling. It was that, cindy do you? Still have yours now. I had to leave it behind it one of the moves. Cuz it was too big to move in the. I left it in my basement, I don't know who got him after?

Speaker 1 41:46

me, but I couldn't carry him around. My mom's like what did you ever do with that Sean thing? I said I left him behind cuz he was too big like it for the walk.

Speaker 3 41:55

Bad you couldn't like just taking like one of those cutters oh, I wish box cutters and cut it in fours yeah, I wish I could have done that thought about that you probably could, because I felt so bad leaving behind bad.

Speaker 1 42:09

Yeah, I want to go back and get it now yeah yeah, I don't even have those anymore. This thing was huge.

Speaker 4 42:16

I know I haven't seen this yeah, well, hey, our wasp.

Speaker 2 42:20

We didn't talk about wasp, and there's really, I mean, the album. It just I wasn't there, wasn't, he was just going off course, that's all. He knew it too there's a couple of good covers on there. Well, there's a few known covers that I won't say I enjoyed them. But you know, once bit and twice shy, that's cover.

Speaker 1 48:30

We should give the audience one to write back with us on Absolutely.

Speaker 3 48:35

And I wish I would have known it, because on the characters one that we will do there was like trivia, so we could have done. Oh yeah, so you never know, one of our other episodes could have trivia.

You never know.

Speaker 1 48:52

Just keep us on our toes. Yes, yes, but that was a lot of fun. That was fun.

Speaker 2 48:57

Speaking of things that we never know about saying there's something that we don't know about that you'd like to share.

Speaker 4 49:07

Hey, can I go look at my closet? Is that what you're saying? What's in James closet? Oh, goodie, goodie, I get to go in my messy closet again. Well, there's something in there that means a lot to me. It means so much to me, but I had it second hand and when I was a little hippie girl and I wore this, so obviously it's something that you can wear. When I would wear this, the kids at school would ask me where I got it, because they knew I couldn't afford it at the time. So it meant a lot to me and Sean meant a lot to me and I actually wore it here. Let me get.

Speaker 3 49:48

I actually wore this Does it still fit you?

Speaker 4 49:51

Actually it does, which is so funny. It's a little tight, Is it?

Speaker 2 49:54

yellow. I was orange or blue? No, yellow the blue.

Speaker 3 50:02

Because they didn't do. They didn't do gray black.

Speaker 2 50:06

Well, I got that one.

Speaker 4 50:08

This is silver and they did blue, but this one is blue, so I'm finding this and it also says Hardy Boys on it and it's shiny and it has a beautiful person on it.

Speaker 3 50:24

So it says Hardy Boys. Is it a Hardy Boys t-shirt?

Speaker 4 50:28

It's a mystery, get it. What do you mean? It's a mystery t-shirt Boys Hardy, boys, cindy. You know what it is? Right, a button, one of my favorite pieces. Let me tell you something about this. It's not a t-shirt. I had lost it for a while and I was so sad, and if I were to lose this again, I would pull everything out of my closet.

Speaker 2 50:48

Well, it's not the guitar, Until I found this again.

Favorite Piece of Clothing Discussion

Speaker 4 50:51
