Mike Nesmith dies at 78

 Hell's teeth this Christmas is looking grim as news comes in of Michael Nesmith passing away at 78




So sad another legend and I have said here or elsewhere I recall vividly rushing my evening paper round deliveries to catch the Monkees tea time tv show. Michael Nesmith the brains and serious composer in the band check out Mary, Mary and Joanne. Such a loss 

Mary, Mary
 

 He could write and came up with a haunting melody too! Joanne

with "zany' Uncle Frank!

Michael Nesmith 'Different Drum'

About Me

My photo
Andy Swapp
These pages are where since 2006 I come to largely share some musical references to the blogosphere (other music bloggers). I search a large number of sources daily for ROIOs and what we used to call bootlegs, (not official albums faked by charlatans to sell but live recording and concerts that would not be published anywhere else) and I post links to an eclectic bunch of musicians so that I hope it has broad appeal. I do NOT feature sites that charge money for any of this and if these change ever please let me know and I will delete them. It is not my intention to do anything other than share links to sites featuring ROIOs and I do not house any files myself here, This is my idea of musical fun and to relieve the stresses of daily life I also share links to articles, pictures, art or photography as was my background and training and first degree (Fine Art). Those that I have enjoyed or mean something to me and interspersed with occasional general ramblings on the world around me!
