After 56 years; The Monkees say goodbye.
There isn't much more; Michael Nesmith
and Micky Dolenz can do; with the band;
called; The Monkees selected in 1965.
While they can try; to finish some more
of the tracks from 1967; their heart isn't
in to it. They lost second Monkee brother;
Peter Tork; seven years after losing their
first Monkee brother; Davy Jones.
Never, did they think; not one of their;
Monkee brothers; would die. Yet they had
two die; seven years apart; in the same;
month of February; in winter.
Michael Nesmith passed away 12/10/2021.
Both of them have been very patient; to
keep The Monkees alive. After all; they are
giving The Monkees Farewell 2021; to show
gratitude for 56 years of The Monkees. By
The Founder of The Monkees; Davy Jones.
Davy Jones could sing; dance, play the
drums, guitar, and maracas. He founded the
Davy Shuffle. He loved horses and took care
of them.
In 1999, he took first place with his horse.
He had twelve exotic horses; that he cared for
them very much. It was hard work to keep the
horses cleaned, brushed, fed, ridden, and given
loved, that Micky called Davy; The Manchester
Cowboy.
Then we have; the main lead singer; Micky
Dolenz; who became a drummer; with help
from both Davy Jones and Peter Tork. But,
Micky; owed the second made MOOG
synthesizer. It was first used; with the song;
"When Your Only Sleeping". Nesmith was
the lead on that song. Then second MOOG
synthesizer song; was: "Star Collector". The
lead on this song; was Davy Jones. It was also
one his favorites; in which all the guys where
in white; with all these color lights. Nesmith;
composed the last MOOG synthesizer; it had
catchy beat to it. Nesmith was in glasses; while
Micky sung his heart out; on this electrifying
song. Micky could play guitar as well.
Next is Michael Nesmith; composer and also
lead singer; on many songs. He plays, electric
twelve and rare six string guitars; as well as
key boards. He created the video single, he has
his Video Ranch; so you can watch virtual type
concerts; in either 3D or 4D; depending on your;
phone or computer 3D or 4D cards you have in
them.
Peter Tork could play piano since he was 9
years old. He was trained in classic music; so he
could play Bach and Mozart, many percussion
instruments; electric guitar, bass guitar, French
horn, drums, key boards, banjo and sitar.
The Monkees 2016 Good Times album;
Peter Tork used his sitar; in some the songs.
They could have just done; the Michael
Nesmith composed album; where only "Micky
Dolenz -Micky Sings Nesmith; and leave it just
like that. However with so many people who
loves The Monkees; they felt that would be
unfair to them.
Remember The Monkees; with all these
cool pictures.
There was Dean Jeffries; the custom car
designer of The Monkee-Mobile to go places in
style.
There is The Mantaray; in The Monkees.
I also have Davy Jones Dream Rod Ford
GT Roadster, that was restored in 2007.
Dean Jeffries was offered $4,000,000 for
this Ford GT Roadster; and turned it down.
