RIP Mike Nesmith

As I get older, more musicians from my childhood are passing away.  I know this is normal, but it still makes me sad.  The Monkees were a phenomenon and Nez was a genuine (along with Peter Tork) musician.  Much of his creative side came out after the Monkees disbanded.  Nez, thanks for the memories.

Saw Nez perform an excellent solo concert in Boulder during his Movies of the Mind tour and did the meet and greet photo and autograph signing afterwards. Later that year,sat in the front row when he,Tork and Dolenenz as aaMonkees concert. Last saw him as a duo with Dolenz a couple years ago when he was in excellent health. New was a very talented singer ,songwriter ,guitarist, performer ,actor,inventor,director, and producer. He was more than a Monkee and will be missed.
