RIP. I think that leaves Micky Dolenz as the last surviving Monkee.

Oh, gosh, I remember watching the show like it was yesterday. I must be old.

I think Mike Nesmith is still around too.
Nesmith is the guy who’s mother invented a form of
White Out product for typing corrections, and became quite wealthy from the patents.

Mike Nesmith wrote one of my favorite old songs:
A Different Drum, which became a hit sung by Linda Ronstadt.

I was deaf for two days

Hey did anyone tell ya Mike Nesmith is still alive?

Sorry, I had to do it :-)

Actually I have a couple of Nesmith’s albums, and I think all the Monkees albums. I watched their TV show in 66, learned several of their songs, (Been a guitar player since 1960) always liked their music.

Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith never really got credit for their ability as musicians. Mike is a great songwriter and very good guitar player, as well as other instruments, and Peter can play multiple instruments too. Mickey Dolenz and Davy Jones ended up learning guitar or keyboards, but Mike and Peter were actually musicians.

My favorite Nesmith songs are from the album “From a Radio Engine to a Photon Wing” album and “Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma” both from the 70’s. “Rio” was one nice laid back song, the song “Cruisin” was a later effort and won best video on MTV in their 1st year or 2.

The Monkees actually did their first tour with Hendrix, they both got along very well but parted company halfway through, both realizing it just didn’t work. They both were still huge fans of each other though, and parted on friendly terms.

Sorry to hear Peter is no longer with us...I just recorded a couple of Monkees songs onto mp3 not long ago, I Have a turntable that plugs into a USB port. It was fun listening to them again...”Your Auntie Grizelda” is an old favorite. “I’m Gonna Buy Me A Dog” is one of the songs I recorded...yeah I have a streak of 60’s weird still...

The Milky Way is thought to be ~13.51 billion years old. Everything is relative. You are a spring chicken!
