Synthoid Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Our worship band had fun playing "I'm a Believer" during VBS a few years ago. The kids loved it as well. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin gave us the first 3 albums. I was going to play guitar until becoming a Billy Joel fan in kindergarten. Seems Peter Tork was playing some sort of Triton on the last tour. I saw a Nesmith solo show and his keyboard playeer had a Triton LE, likely used a controller to his Imac for VST's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Loving Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I thought Mike Nesmith was done with the Monkees. Is he lonely? To cop a line from Randy Newman, I would not see these guys if they were playing in my back yard. "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pa Gherkin Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Peter is actually a pretty accomplished pianist. I did a string of gigs with him. One gig had a luxury apartment for a dressing room which contained a well maintained baby grand. As I climbed the stairs to the dressing area I heard this beautiful piano playing and wondered who the heck it could be. Walked in to see Peter killing it at the piano. Don't sell him short. Nice guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Peter is actually a pretty accomplished pianist. From a Michael Nesmith interview: "the notion I was the only musician is one of those rumors that got started and won't stop but it was not true. Peter was a more accomplished player than I by an order of magnitude" http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/exclusive-michael-nesmith-remembers-davy-jones-20120308 Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
