Big Ballad Singer OK so I like the Monkee's big deal (51* d) RE: OK so I like the Monkee's big deal 16 Jul 11

My wife met Davy about 20-25 years ago... he was booked to perform at a county fair. He acted like a total jerk because someone was late with his lobster dinner (they were selling steamed lobsters at the fair). He was very curt and rude to her and others that were excited to meet him.

Well, she got his autograph, anyway, FWIW.

Anyone ever play a Gretsch Monkees guitar? I've played several. Some were pretty good... others, like a lot of mid-level Gretsch guitars of their period, were garbage. Still, seeing the guitar-shaped Monkees logo on the pickguard... that was pretty cool.

I also once decided that I was going to buy myself a Gretsch 12-string so I could play like Mike.

Yeah... no. Turns out his blond Gretsch 12 was a one-of-a-kind instrument built specifically for him by Gretsch.

Oh, well.
