I will admit to being a fan of the Monkees, and of "Papa Nez."

The onkees were important because of the tv show. The fact that I have one collection albm and not listened toit in decades reflects that.

But Michael Nesmith was very much a musician. His "Mary Mary" song was on the Paul Butterfield Blues Band's "East-West" album, that came out in 1966, a few montys before the show started.

And of course, he wrote "Different Drum" which the Stone Poneys recorded.

One of the weirdest things is that Tim Buckley appears at theend of one episode, just singing a song, nothing to do with the episode.
