@JeanLouiseFinch   How fun. Happy birthday!   I've seen Donny and Marie in a Christmas show in Lancaster, or maybe it was Atlantic City. They were excellent.  My sister and BIL saw them a few times in Vegas, once near the end of their Flamingo run.  They met both of them and my sister said they were so fun, and very kind.  Pictures and chatted a few.  Have a great time.  

@cjm61 What a fun memory!  Had to be fun!  

David Cassidy was my guy too. That HAIR.  We had a local radio station that had a meet David Cassidy contest.  Our middle school won.  I think 7th or 8th grade.  Anyways, after school, he came and sang in the ballfield on top of a school bus (not their colorful bus) for about an hour and a half.  It was so fun.  All screaming girls of course.  The Partridge family was my first concert.  Probably around 1970 or 71.  Pretty fun memories. Sad that he passed so young.  I'm 63 and it doesn't seem that long ago.

Well, I had his pictures plastered on my walls in the 70's and his singles. Have fun at the show!

@JeanLouiseFinch OMG, how fun will that be??   I'm happy for you, I'm sure you will have a great birthday Smiley Happy

 

I did meet Jimmy Osmond once........we were skiing in Vermont in the early 90's and my daughter was behind us on the ski lift.  Low and behold when we all get off the lifts on top my 9 year old daughter says hey mom don't you know the Osmond's??   I answered not personally and she was like, you do now! ( LOL ) I immediately realized it was him, he had shared the lift with her.   It was really something!  I also got to meet Carly Simon on Martha's Vineyard, again my daughter was the one she talked to first.  She's like a celebrity magnet, so funny!

When Donny released his auto biography I went to a meet and greet at the bookstore down town and he personally autographed a book for me.  It's been a while.  

This last December I saw Marie in concert for her Christmas tour.  

Donny lives in Provo, Utah about 30 miles from me.  Fun fact - he and Larry King used to be neighbors and went to the same church.
