NO! Just heard David Jones of The Monkees has died
I used to rush home from my Saturday job in Woollies to watch The Monkees prog, had their pics all over my bedroom walls.
Collected all the Monkee cards in the bubble gum packs, had all their records.

Hehehe, didn't we all aspire to become Mrs. Jones at some point, Ms. Liz! I know I did.
:( I used to sit glued to the front of the telly to watch them, too, Kateyanne.
I went and saw three of The Monkees in my dinky little home town years later in 1988. (Michael Nesmith didn't venture downunder.) I still have the keyring I bought that night from the merchandise shop out front. Couldn't afford the t-shirt at the time but with hindsight, the keyring had more longevity. Loved those boys. RIP Davy Jones.
There was another chap called David Jones just beginning on his career as Davy was strutting the big time.
This other DJ was obliged to change his name ...

That's sad.
Hubby and I danced to this at our wedding and a local band play it for us every time we go see them. I'm gutted. :(

Even though I'm in my 20s, I listened to the Monkees and I also watched repeats of the TV show.
But hey, always nice to be thanked ;)
