The Monkees Farewell 2021 After 56 Years

I Know What I Know - YouTube
Michael Nesmith passed away December 10, 2021
This how Love Is Only Sleeping was done. 
Michael Nesmith was lead singer on the song.
 You see him playing his 12 String Gretsch electric guitar.
 Davy is on drums. Micky is playing the MOOG synthesizer;
 and acting like a mad scientist. Peter in on his Bass electric guitar. 
This song should have been number a number one song for The Monkees. 
However; we can make it happen; by asking to release as a single.
 Also; I-tunes; and  Amazon; of course, 7a records;
 to get this out to the world. Since this song has never
 been redone in this style of music. 






































































            The Monkees Farewell After 56 Years

         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.

The Monkees Live The Mike & Micky Show

The Monkees Live The Mike & Micky Show
     I remember being in Georgia, watching 
poor Davy Jones alone in 2006. Each year
people were asking if The Monkees were
getting back together. They said no. Both
Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork were selling
on eBay and Peter sold to happy guy his
original  cranberry eight button band 
uniform used in The Monkees. He was 
also selling his many guitars to people.

     Then in 2010 a Sacramento recording
studio came to agreement with both Peter
and Micky to see how a full recording was
made from start to finish. People could do
singing or play music in this experiment.
The end result his Micky came out with a
Solo album without including Peter Tork.
The single was "Don't Let Me Down" like
the seventies version.  Micky Dolenz  The-
Songs Of Carol King was the album.

The fire was ignited for The Monkees to
get back together again; however there
were some serious matters of health
that had to be addressed with Peter Tork.
Peter Tork had to have a pea size tumor
removed between his tongue inside. They
had to cut open his tong  then remove all
the tumor and sow it back up again.



        The Evening With The Monkees
45th Anniversary came with a new car.
A 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
with Gold Monkees logos and special
45 Anniversary black parachute that
had The Monkees 45th Anniversary
on it. 

        The Evening With The Monkees
was the theme.The Monkees logos were
done in brown  
        Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, and
Peter Tork were ready. The theme had
doses of The Monkees Head, their movie.
At least three of the members wrote songs.
Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, and Peter
Tork. However there were enough dancing
by Davy Jones and his third wife Jessica.
  


They had the cut his tong open

to cut it all out. This the same tumor that
grew back seven years later that killed Peter
after he had found his soulmate Pam who
Peter married. We lost Peter Tork on the
same month of Davy Jones. The date was
February 21, 2019. this caused both both
The Monkees go back to New Zealand and
Australia since the sponsor love Peter Tork.
The Tour Was Called The Monkee's -
Featuring Michael Nesmith and Micky
Dolenz. (Note Mike & Micky Show was 
formed in 2018 when Peter Tork was 
focusing his attention on his Peter Tork-
Shoe Suede Blues album called "Relax Your
Mind" (Peter Tork would never sing with
The Monkes Again. On February 21, 2019
Peter Tork died from that tumor inside his
tongue, that grew back, that they fully thought
 they cut out seven years ago. He
married Pam in 2018 and was in good spirts
when he died)
      
On February 29, 2012 Davy Jones died.
Next Saturday, February 29, 2020 it will be
eight years exactly. The first Sunday of the
month of April, 2012. Michael Nesmith had
met with Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork with
The Monkees childen, Linda Jones, along
with some of his friends, a good friend who
touch many teenagers hearts; Neil Sedaka.
The Monkees were going to give Davy Jones 
a private memorial. Out of this was planed
The Evening With The Monkees a twelve
day tour that ended with a sell out crowd in
New York December 2, 2012.
      It's also under Nez Tunes on You Tube
      As you know Michael Nesmith was last
seen with The Monkees in 1997 Justus Tour.
      The following year 2013, Michael Nesmith
was impressed how you took him back so very
warmly. He said he would come out with songs
you haven't heard in years. The them was called
Mid-Summer Tour.This tour they were going to
to every song in chronicle logical order. Peter
said:" Here's a stack of Head Quarters." This
was the first album they made after firing "The
Golden Ear" Don Kirsner, who was charge with 
promoting Neil Diamond, when he should have
focused his attention on The Monkees
 The Monkees  were in Chicago, they went a
 record store and seen More The Monkees-
Golden Hits. Both Michael Nesmith and Peter-
Tork, were burned up over the matter 
Don Kirshner, didn't consult them about
their music. "Little Bit You Little Me" had Neil
Diamond singing in the background. The cover
had The Monkees in JC Penny's clothes. This 
was against their contract. The Monkees had to 
be consulted on all parts regarding music and 
cover art and then they all had to approve it.
Head Quarters to my research was only at
#1 for one week, but the latest findings was this
album was a threat to The Beatles. Why? It had
went double platinum.
      This was followed by Peices Aquarious-
Capricorn Jones Ltd. Last was Birds and The Bees .
These five albums were made up the music of the
TV Show The Monkees
      From These two albums came their 2016 Smash
that #18 out Billboards 200 the first week of July '16
The Monkees Good Times was happy by all who had
worked on it. Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and the
man who worked mainly on the music was Peter Tork
He playedsomething mixed betewn a zituar and a banjo and
gave it a unique sound to all who listen to it.

had found Gold! The Monkees Vaults found all kinds
of tapes about fifty unfinished tracks. The Monkees
all living were contacted. Yes, Nesmith too! The three
work on it. The full story is on this blog. Go to this
site, I spent over nine months to create.  Good Times
link is at the bottom.This the way the coloring was
done on the poster for Good Times.

had to keep adding on dates like 1986. They were
almost seven months long and added a new country
they had never been to. It was New Zealand. They 
also went back to Australia in which at that time it
was 1969 was the last time. They had two more 
dates added making end with Gold Beach on this
date December 26, 2016.
        In  2019, Michael Nesmith and Micky went back the
new country New Zealand and Australia  since the main
sponsor loved Peter Tork's musical ability and singing 
the finished the Asian tour.
