RIP Peter Tork Monkees Singer Bassist Keyboardist
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...=.47dbea3254a7

The younger folks probably wont give doodley squat but when I was a little kid The Monkees show after school was big. My sister was a big fan and this show was her favorite and she got the TV when it was on. I missed the cartoons more but me and my brother were younger so we watched. I learned to appreciate and enjoy later and Peter Tork was really probably the most talented of the bunch. Mr Tork battled rare form of tongue cancer for ten years finally succumbing to it.

"Hey Hey for the Monkees" RIP Mr Tork!

I am old enough to have seen it in it's orginal run. Remember it was Fridays nights at 7 on NBC. Thought their wagon was cool as shit.

Could have swore Monkees were on Friday's but I could be wrong. Remember always watching Laugh In. But that was before MNF. MNF killed laugh in.

The contract they signed for the 1st 2 years required session musicians to play the instruments for the show. Carol King was hired to write most the songs for the show. At the end of of the 2 year contract the Monkees gained control of musicianship and Tork and Nesmith began writing many of their songs. Tork was the most proficient playing guitar bass harpsichord organ banjo and steel guitar.

Hey! All I know is that I was around back then and remember the stories about the "band". Other than that - I have no idea. I liked the show - it was funny. But the episodes I remember - Nesmith looked like he knew his way around a guitar while the rest looked lost..I mean, really lost. Maybe that was by design, hell I don't know.

They did the singing, voice is also an instrument. The TV series lasted 1966 to 68 I believe Kirshner recorded there voices in studio heavily edited it then had them lip sync and fake the instruments for the tv show. Never saw them in a concert I believe my sister wanted to go but Dad put the hammer down.

Watched the show as a kid. Enjoyed the heck out of it. My dad hated it, but he let us kids watch it. Loved the car. Seemed like all the shows back in the day had some cool hot rod for the the show's characters to drive around in

Saw them in concert in the mid 90's after a Texas Rangers game. Was a pretty decent show. No complaints here

Friday nights you're probably remember a show from a few years later, "In Concert" ran from '72 to '75. I can remember the first one of them, Seals & Crofts opening for Alice Cooper.
