I saw the Monkee's live in concert in 1968. Guess who the opening act was???????? Jimi Hendrix.

Bummer. I heard on the radio not too long ago, maybe 2 months, that he and Micky were doing some shows. I remember being excited when the tv show was on. I was about 5 or 6 and always wishing they did more stuff with the car, it was so cool.

Reading this makes me feel old - i watched all those shows, sang all that music. Seems like about 10 year ago ( was really 47 years ago - shit )

Actually, Neil Diamond wrote and first recorded "I'm a Believer" prior to the Monkey's

But regarding the song posted here on RDP, "Joanne" is that Michael Nesmith singing this song? Cant say I have ever heard it, and do I hear some brief yodeling as well?
wonder if he had a bit of country influence growing up. Thanks for posting!

Yes. Davey was first maybe 10 years ago. Then Peter a few years ago.

He was my step dads/Dads cousin. His mom invented white out. Not a real close family but we met them once when I was a little kid.

Godspeed

He was an Off-Road racer as well. Had a Class 8 Chevy Truck in Score in the '80's. Drove with Steve Kelly.
