This episode we welcome  our special guest - Johnny Ray Miller.  Johnny is a aficionado on The Partridge Family television program and their recorded music, and the author of "When We're Singin".  He is also a seasoned concert and theater producer, an actor, and a director.  He joins us to chat about not only "When We're Singin", but also his latest project, the intriguing book called "James Cagney Was My Baby Sitter,” which he co-authored with Ryan Cassidy.

We are  ecstatic to learn more about how Johnny Ray met Ryan Cassidy at the Hollywood Show.  It was also fascinating to learn how the deep connection that they now share  was developed from that meeting that gave birth to "James Cagney Was My Babysitter".  We also discuss the impact that "James Cagney Was My Babysitter”  had on bridging the generation gap and how the story teaches lessons about friendship. 
Expect a fun trip down memory lane as we share our love for our Partridge Family memorabilia, our favorite songs, and a surprising backstory about David Cassidy's album, Cherish. 

Our episode wouldn't be complete without discussing the struggles David Cassidy faced due to fame and how it shaped his character, Keith Partridge. We also reveal a special project that Johnny Ray is working on with Henry Diltz - a coffee table book full  of pictures of David Cassidy! Join us on this episode that's full of captivating discussions, intriguing insights, and Partridge Family memories, and stories about James Cagney and "old Hollywood".
