Never heard of these guys before, Bill ... very talented. Wasn't there a Michael Nesmith that played for "The Monkees"? Used to wear a toque hat all the time, if I recall.

That's right TF, and I'm pretty certain this is the same guy. He went on to have a great career after The Monkees as a C&W artist. One of his numbers I particularly liked to play was Different Drum, that went on to become a huge success for Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Ponys
