when! did you discover the lecherous mike nesmith?

HELLO DEAR MUTUAL!!! what a great question… my first discovery of my slimy icky girl…… i’m not sure when i really FIRST was introduced to him because i kinda started listening to the monkees a little bit around 2023 but i knew some people who were fans of his, just didn’t know much about him myself (i thought his last name was pronounced knee-smith until i watched the show LMFAOOO). basically i’ve known Of him for a couple years but it really took off at the end of january when i started watching the monkees and listening through their discography :] nez and buddy holly are the only musicians i’ve ever fixated on like this…. my sweet summer peaches…

With The Apollas (Leola Jiles, Ella Jamerson, and Billie Barnum) during the December 1966/January 1967 tour. The trio opened for The Monkees.

"[In 1965] I accompanied this black trio called the [Apollas], on the stand-up string bass.” - Peter Tork, Goldmine, May 1982 “I managed to pull together a job playing double bass for a while for a black female vocal trio called the Apollas. I got to repay the favor later on.” - Peter Tork, Monkeemania (1986) "So I played blues guitar for a girl named Lynne Hughes, and I played stand-up bass for a Supremes-type, three-girl singing group [The Apollas], who wound up opening for the Monkees." - Peter Tork, The Monkees: The Day-By-Day Story "We had done a club in Huntington Beach. Peter Tork was the dishwasher there and he played guitar for us when we were there. [...] [When The Monkees were set to tour] Peter and Mike said, 'Well, let's get the Apollas, they're great.'" - Leola Jiles, The Monkees: The Day-By-Day Story “At the Losers North, the Apollas were backed by Mike Nesmith on guitar and Peter Tork on bass […]. The Apollas toured with the Monkees, and the two groups worked together extremely well as a team.” - My Soul Concerto: The Story of the Apollas by Opal Louis Nations, 2005 “Throughout the performance of the Monkees, they [The Apollas] stood on the sidelines in costume, grinning enthusiastic approval. All three were ‘overjoyed at being on this show.’ […] ‘Peter used to play the guitar for us,’ [Leola Jiles] said. ‘Mike knew us, too.’ […] Peter and Mike remembered the girls and recommended that they be placed on the show. […] ‘We are having a wonderful time,’ Miss Jiles chimed, as she joined the crowd in giving the Monkees a tremendous hand after another selection. Her fellow singers grinned and applauded too. ‘The fellows are great,’ they said. ‘They are wonderful as people as well as entertainers.’ […] Peter [also] played the banjo and did some folk singing when he performed with the Apollas. ‘He’s still the same old Peter,’ Miss Jiles volunteered.” - Winston Salem Journal, January 15, 1967 “Peter, who has since become a member of a certain rock and roll group going under the title of the Monkees, happened to be playing guitar in a nightclub at Huntington Beach when the Apollas appeared there. According to Leola, Peter as well as the rest of the Monkees are really nice people, and a lasting friendship has resulted between the members of the two groups.” - Contra Costa Times, July 23, 1967 Another opening act, for The Monkees' 1967 summer tour, was also suggested by Peter: Lynne Randell. Some TV footage of The Apollas.

June 8th, 2024, Pt 1 (Day 61)

Today's Dog: The Redbone Coonhound! As the name suggests, these dogs were bred to hunt raccoons. Redbone Coonhounds were bred in the antebellum US South, and have been shown at Westminster since 2010. They were most popularized by the book Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls, which is a children's novel about a young boy who buys and trains two Redbone Coonhounds!

Today's Monkee: Rainmaker! This song was released on Nevada Fighter (1971), Mike Nesmith's 3rd solo album post-Monkees. It was produced by Mike and written by Harry Nilsson and Bill Martin (the latter also wrote Door Into Summer from Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, and Jones Ltd)!
