I didn’t want to highjack Charlie’s thread, … so I started a new thread based on what Richard said about Michael Nesmith.

Quote:

The two videos are reminiscent of Mike Nesmith's Elephant Parts, the seminal video album upon which MTV was based. Yup, the ex-Monkee is responsible for that, and it made him quite the wealthy man. (It runs in the family; his mother invented White Out.) Half comedy and half music, this volume is virtually unknown.



He said this in response to Charlie’s videos. So….

Richard,

I started to send this as a PM, but I thought some other folks might like to know about it too.

Michael Nesmith was actually a bluegrass musician who ended up in the “Monkees”! After all, the Monkee’s weren’t really a band, but a TV show that became a band! Michael got dragged along. The intent was to emulate the Beatles, as I’m sure you know.

So here’s the ex-Monkee playing one of his best and one of my favorite songs. Poor quality, but great song. “Some of Shelly’s Blues”.

It was a cut of off the “Pretty Much Your Standard Ranch Trash” album. I still have the album in storage, … but no record player! LOL.
