The best guitarist
I've ever known said the first
"jazzy" type solo

he ever mastered
(or ever heard!) was Nesmith
playing Valleri:
---------------------------------------

Val-al-al-al-al-aleri
I love her, Val-al-al-al-al-aleri

There's a girl I know
Who makes me feel so good
And I wouldn't live without her
Even if I could

They call her Val-al-al-al-al-aleri
I love her, Val-al-al-al-al-aleri

She's the same little girl who used to
Hang around my door

But she sure looks different than
The way she looked before

I call her Val-al-al-al-al-aleri
I love her, Val-al-al-al-al-aleri
Val-al-al-al-al-aleri
I love her, Val-al-al-al-al-aleri
I love her, Val-al-al-al-al-aleri
I need her, Val-al-al-al-al-aleri ...

Although now I've learned
that Boyce and Hart wrote the song,
Louie Shelton [!] played

the cool solo and
Nesmith hated the song. Damn.
Growing up is hard!
