So there I was, taking a break from a music party, sitting in an empty room noodling some blues on my tenor guitar when three youngsters - maybe 18 years old -- walked in and one of them said, "Dude, do you know any Monkees?" I about fell off my chair. I played them I'm a Believer, You're Not My Stepping Stone, and Last Train to Clarksville. How did people who were born 25 years after the Monkees were famous know about them? How did they know to ask the one guy at a party who actually knew some of the songs? After bothering my friends with Monkees songs for years, I was actually ASKED to play them . . . weird.
