Holy crap! A "Partridge Family" reunion?!



"C'mon get happy!"

Answering a challenge from fellow “Partridge Family” cast member David Cassidy, WYSP-FM morning host Danny Bonaduce will join Cassidy on stage to play bass (which he only mimed playing on the TV show) for one song during Cassidy’s concert at 8 p.m. Oct. 23 at the Keswick Theatre, Easton Road and Keswick Avenue, Glenside. Tickets range from $42.50-$75. Call (215) 572-7650 or go to www.keswicktheatre.com.

For all the freak show antics Bonaduce pulled in his post-“Partridge Family” days, I do have a healthy respect for what he's been doing on air at 94.1. I give the former wise-cracking Danny Partridge props for taking on this "I'd pay to see that" project.
When ABC cast Cassidy as Keith Partridge in 1970, he had already appeared on Broadway and in television dramas. Before the series had even aired its first episode, Cassidy was on the covers of teen magazines throughout the world and had a #1 with "I Think I Love You," followed by the top 10 hit, "Cherish." Ten albums by The Partridge Family and five solo albums were produced during the show's run. Overall, Cassidy has sold 25 million records worldwide.

Who are you and why have you stolen my name?

Ryan Bingham - Brian Bingaman.
Almost identical in the way they roll off the tongue.
The difference is the former is playing the North Star Bar, 2639 Poplar St., Philadelphia. Show time is 10 p.m. Saturday and tickets are $15.
The latter is screaming: "That should be me! He stole my name!"
What if we met and formed a duo? What would we call ourselves?
