In conversation with West Orange historian Joseph Fagan about the town where David grew up

<p>This week on The David Cassidy Connections podcast we make a  special visit to a place which forms part of David’s legacy.</p> <p>Located less than 15 miles from Manhatten, West Orange offers a rich history. The first settlers landed in 1666 at what is now Newark Bay.</p> <p>Town historian, Joseph Fagan, whose family roots go back more than 150 years in the town, gives a tour of the places where David would have played as a young boy, shares photographs which he has uncovered of David’s mother, Evelyn, when she was at school, tells the story of the first settlers and the 9/11 Memorial at Eagle Rock which looks across to the New York skyline.</p> <p>West Orange is where David spent his formative years and years later co-wrote with Kim Carnes and Dave Ellingson, Can’t Go Home Again where David brought the musical changes. The track appears on David's album, Dreams Are Nuthin' More Than Wishes.</p> <p>You can view the images and see pictures behind these stories on a slideshow to be found on The David Cassidy Connections YouTube channel</p> <p>More history about West Orange can be found here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.westorange.org">www.westorange.org</a></p>
