Hey, hey...

So, having been a Monkees fan for a couple of decades, I was saddened when Davy Jones passed away last week. It wasn't until a few days ago that I could bring myself to watch an episode or listen to their music again...but when I did, it made me smile so much it inspired me to make something cheerful and small and bright

Aren't they just the best band shirts? :-)

Really like the pendants. Was so shocked when I saw the newspapers the day after as here in the UK the story got massive front page headlines. The Monkees were a huge part of my childhood (hello reruns on WLVI Channel 56!). In fact my Gram once served pizza to Micky when I was like 8 or 9. They were my first-ever concert, aged 14 on the 1986 reunion tour (my Dad took me).

Thanks!

I watched them as a kid too, but didn't really become a fan until the '86 reunion. I was around the same age at the time and didn't get to make it to any concerts...but I did many years later, and it was so much fun. How was the '86 concert?

Oh LD, these are wonderful. You’ve really warmed my heart.

Davy was my first love. In my mind, I can still see the picture of him I had tacked to my bedroom door. He was wearing the red shirt.

Thank you!

My teenage diary has an entry from when I re-discovered the Monkees during their '80s comeback. (I'd seen them as a kid but hadn't paid much attention.) That entry contains the line "Davy is soooooooo cute!!!!" In all caps, I think :-)
