You had one heck of a grandpa made 3 or 4 generations happy with his music including a lot of scooby doo fans but I know how you feel my second cousin was Jim nabors I'm always looking for his songs or vids of him saying shazam or golly because my dad told me when I was little he would say them and start laughing like crazy I was just an infant and when Jimmy was on gomer Pyle or the Andy Griffith show he would say that on there because he knew my dad had me watching and I would just start cackling
I loved him since 1965, watched as long as I could, got to see him in GA in the 90’s and got to throw him a big wide MUA kiss as they pulled off and got one back. Such a great fun guy!!!
You need creative people when you do this, Michel Nesmith got them Bob Dylan, they found Jimmy Hendrix in New York, wow SNL, some shows still do this now! he was there, and did it!
Was 12 years old when The Monkees aired on TV. Been enjoying reruns on AXS TV. Brings back some enjoyable, innocent times! Saw Davy on The Teen Idol Tour many years ago with Peter Noone and Bobby Sherman ❤❤❤
I met Davy in the summer of '86 when the Monkees were doing a reunion tour. His limo pulled up and the back window rolled down and out came Davy's head and he said "Officer, which way to the stage entrance?" I walked him in and he signed my duty notebook and shook my hand. He was a very kind and fun loving guy.
He had exactly 60 days left when this interview was held. Yes we never know what the future holds from one day to the next and really should try to value and embrace every minute of every day. Davy seemed to be a good example of a person who enjoyed life and tried to do just that. One of my favorite all-time rock performers. God bless him and may he continue to RIP.
It was such a shock hearing when he passed, especially afterwards when it was reported this arteries were so badly blocked. A little guy with never any real excess weight on him his entire life, he wasn't even afforded the 'warning' heart attack prior. I'm wondering if early heart disease existed in either side of his family.
I was born in 1956. Still remember screaming at the lunch table at my job when a coworker told me Davy had just died. I immediately called my daughter and my cousin. His passing still makes me sad. Loved him!
hospital was liable, he supposedly went to Emergency complaining of chest pains, they merely examined him and released him that same day. He went home and died, they should have kept him overnight at least.
Excuse me for the correction here, but the man did not "pass" or go away he simply "died" as all we mortals do. Not pass, nor pass away just died. Why do Americans find it so difficult to express the correct term?
@@Janus-fn2uz Why do arrogant, irrelevant, insecure, know-nothing, keyboard zero’s feel so desperately compelled to scroll the comments looking to crap all over someone’s day simply for expressing a completely harmless opinion/memory?! It’s a mystery. Grow up.
Who would have ever thought Davy would not be around two months after this interview. He sounded and looked in great shape for his age, such a shock to fans.
Not really. He still sounds like himself, but his voice has unmistakably changed with age. It would be hard for me to imagine his younger self talking with the voice of his older self. No disrespect though.
I once played darts in our local with Davy. He lived just a few minutes away and used the local quite regularly. He was lovely, although he didn't talk like he's talking here, he reverted back to Mancunian. I can always tell when English entertainers have become Americanised by the way they say The Beatles. They don't pronounce the T as a T, but put a D in there.
This man is a true Treasure who brought happiness to many generations with his talents. He was a great and humble man who always gave credit to those around him. He is missed.
It's cool to see a star that big, so down to earth and friendly. He was the biggest actor/Singer on planet earth at one point in time and a was/is a legend. Rip Davy Jones!
What a wonderful final interview... healthy sounding, energetic, and fun and entertaining and full of new stories like always! And funny and charismatic, handsome as always.... and his voice sounds the same! What a great life he had. I miss him.
I was glad i had gotten to know him. At one time, he lived about 30 minutes from me. I was going by his place and he was out cutting grass on a very hot day. I had to come to a stop right there.seeing him there standing, and beat looking, i yelled " looks like you could use a cold one!!" He simply replied, " oh hell yeah !!!!". I just got some, and held one out the window for him to take. He ran to my truck !!!!! We ended up sitting on his porch, drinking a few more, and shooting the bull for about an hour and a half. And like they say, the rest is history. We became good friends because of that day. And yes, he did admire firemen. I told him i was a fireman at that time ( now i hung up my hèlmet . Learning this, you wojld have thought i was the famous one!!!! So, yes he highly admired firemen. RIP Davey my friend.
He was my absolute hero! I used to watch the re-runs of the Monkees TV Shows when I was a kid, by far my favorite, very humble guy too. Its so sad he's not around anymore.
I was very fortunate to have met Davy Jones, as well as Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz several years ago when they came to my town to sign autographs at a local music store. It was really cool because I got to shake all of their hands as well!
How fun!!! I had the pleasure to meet Davy twice, once at Micky's home, where a friend and I just showed up in '70, then again in '95 after a play he was in. He was a consummate gentleman.
@@terryanngallagher3605 Wow! It was pretty cool that you were able to meet Davy Jones twice, Terry Ann, and I am surprised though that someone didn't try to stop you from getting to close to Micky's home.
@@jeffthewhiff It was because my best friend was well acquainted with his mother-in-law, Phyllis, who had a dress shop on Ventura Bl. and had made clothes for her. She pretended we weren't fans, so silly. We were dying after she spoke into the intercom at the gate, to have Davy suddenly come open it saying, "Hi! I'm David!" We'd been fans since age 13 and at 17 we tried hard to be "cool." It was a challenge!!! Davy led us up the long steps to the house and I followed his black boots in disbelief, then we sat talking to Phyllis down the hall from a little party Micky had going on and Davy and I made eye contact constantly from where we each sat. I looked like the lady who became his first wife, so I guess I was his type (!) but I was still too young to think of him as a real person and not my crush from the TV show. I have regretted that ever since! Thanks so much for responding, Jeff....it's a delight to share my little tale! Both times I met Davy he was incredibly sweet and polite.
@@terryanngallagher3605 Thanks for sharing your story about meeting Davy Jones, Terry! You were very fortunate to have had an opportunity to actually get to speak to Davy in a relaxed way. When I met the guys at an autograph signing, there really wasn't any time to talk to them, but I will always remember shaking their hands and having them sign a book I purchased about the band several years ago.
So sad... I'm only 17 but I love the monkees, I wish I was alive in the 60's to experience everything in real time, all that's left now is memories... Rip Davy Jones
Always Monkee crazy! I never missed a show and had all the albums. I can't believe he is gone. Their music always makes me feel young again. Good bye Davy you will always be that hip young guy of my dreams.
He eventually sang Daydream "believer" instead of "believah," but that's why TH-cam is so great. It captures moments in time and we can wash ourselves in the late 60s, and that adorbs Manchester accent.
My wife and i met Davy after a concert in Sheffield.He was a lovely guy and spent time with all the fans.He was so natural and friendly ,even got my 1967 annual signed .What a sad loss,RIP Davy.
What a great guy ... had to look back at this .. refreshing .. we are all lucky that there was a Davy Jones ! Such a shock when the news came of his passing.
The Monkees were my very first group way back in 1966...my bedroom walls were covered in posters..I have wonderful memories thank you all for the great music you left us.....R.I.P. Davy & Peter😢
My 8th grade class went on a field trip to see the Musical “ Pickwick” in San Francisco staring Davey Jones in 1962. After the show Davey came out to speak with our class and had a Q&A for about 30 minutes. He wasn’t much older than any of us kids and was extremely nice to everyone and actually seemed very excited to meet us. He passed away way to young.
I always liked and related to Davy Jones because I’m not that tall either and I used to be cute but never as cute as he was! Anyway, I always liked his accent too! I’m not saying he was a Saint or perfect but from all accounts I’ve heard of him he was incredibly kind and sweet and always went the extra mile to help people and do charity work! He was really a great guy! God bless him and I hope he is in a better place now and his personality will be missed! He was always a charmer and fun! RIP Davy Jones and Peter Tork just passed away! I hope they are together and having a laugh up in Heaven! Wouldn’t That be great? God bless them both!
Really a shock, just a couple months before his death but he looked as healthy and happy as ever. Health is a scary thing, I guess things can just sneak up on you without warning. He is greatly missed.
Eddie Wyatt saw he & his wife on a talk show. She was mean and abusive. She nagged and rode him about everything, even how he hung his bathrobe. When I saw that, I knew she would be the death of him. She wanted his money. Couldn't get past how rotten she was to him.
Scruffy2469 Wow! That’s really sad to hear but they say a good woman can really help you in life and a bad woman can destroy you! Who you marry can be a very crucial decision in your life! Sad to hear it about his marriage!
The Monkees were the soundtrack to my childhood. I'm glad to have seen them a few times in concert in later years. Davy was definitely the charming one, and a great entertainer. RIP
Great interview. Well prepared interviewers with a fantastic attitude, and some wonderful anecdotes from Davy. Somewhat bittersweet, especially when he talked about his plans for his horses in the next year or so. It looks like he had a lot of fun in his life. A shame it couldn't last longer.
I was 11 when I first saw the Monkees in 1966. Instantly crushed on Davy with that British accent. So sad that he was gone first, then Peter, and now Michael. My heart breaks for Micky.
Like so many, I fell for Davy in 1966..and weren’t we the lucky ones!!! What a lovely man. He looks happy here... so grateful for him and all he gave and still does. 💖
He was a class act. Another class act David Bowie changed his name because of the popular Davy Jones. That was Bowie's birth name. RIP to the 2 real Davy Jones. Class Acts.
I didn't know that. I heard that David Bowie changed his name from "David Jones" (not "Davy Jones") but I did not know he changed to Tom Jones. I thought Tom Jones was an established singer way before the Monkees or David Jones, like in the early 1960s at least.
Here we come walking down the street.. Loved Davey and all the band. Raced home for the show after school. Some fun fact: David Bowie's real name was David Jones but he changed it so fan 's could differentiate between the two. Very sorry we lost him. Heavy heart of condolences to all the family and fans. I personally will never forget him as memories of the show are burned into my mind. A really nice kind human who everyone loved. RIP Davey Jones
Jeff Lewis:Wish they were all still around,espec Peter.Pete & that computer, hysterical!I replay it when I'm down.And could listen to Shades of Grey,Joanne & For Pete's Sake all day.Sooo funny how that got its name!
His last directive in his documentary was “Never give up on your dreams.” And he had a very serious tone as he walked away looking back at the camera. He passed not long after that.
Your grandfather was my teenage heartthrob along with thousands other but is voice and sincerity and decency is what came through on stage as a performer.He left you a great legacy best of luck to you and your dreams and talent does run in families.😍
Davy Jones was and always will be the love of my life. Great to hear he still had his mancunian accent after all those years in the USA. R.i.p beautiful man ❤❤
I'd never seen this before...Davy was just a regular guy never patting himself on the back and thinking he was just so great like so many other performers....a very likeable and down to earth guy..wish i could have met him in person..I'll forever miss him...R.I.P. Davy
I just read this, if this is true and he was your Grandpa, he was such a nice guy .He hugged me and put his head on my chest at a concert. I thought i was going to faint. I saw the monkees live when they were on TV, I was about 9 yrs old. He was so handsome. My heart broke when i heard he passed away.
Yes, he was a good guy. Completely unpretentious about the Monkees and acknowledging that they borrowed that madcap style from Hard Day's Night. And he made some music a lot of people loved, me included.
How i miss you Davy Jones!!! But the most important of you is alive : your happy and beautiful soul, your gentle and sweet heart... and i belive that you are always near us, and close by the side Who loves you cause you know that i love you and i am sure you know this!!! God lights up you more and more!!! ;)
Camila Maeda agreed. Death is an illusion anyway. Yes, the physical body dies, but the person never does. We are all eternal. I know that Davy was also with the other Monkees when they had their 50th anniversary tour last year. 😊
I met Davy Jones at a Houston Aeros hockey game in the Summit in Houston in the 1990s. He was great to talk with and he showed his wonderful smile throughout our talk. In 2009 I also got to meet Mickey Dolentz at Cynthia Woods pavilion north of Houston. I was glad to have met two on the Monkees. I always loved their music, their hilarious show and their sense of humor. They were American icons. We need more fun groups like the Monkees today. SD0101222020DJ
Loved this man, Davey Jones. I miss him terribly. Its 2020, September and the whole West Coast USA is on fire. It touches my heart that one of his last charity events was for firefighters. There were two David Jones in music. One ended up as Bowie. The other is my true love the Monkee man. I picked the correct David Jones to love forever. RIP my love. The pandemic and the fires are making me so SAD. I need some Monkees memories to sustain me.
Went to a Monkees concert in Roanoke, VA a long time ago with a high school classmate. His 2 daughters reluctantly went but had a fantastic time. RIP to the 3 who are gone but not forgotten.
Davy Jones, Gran persona !!! Lo conocí en un restaurante 5 meses antes de su desaparición, tuve una grata conversación de unos minutos y luego me despedí de él, pero después de tres día me busco para regalarme unos CDs y un retrato autografiado, me sorprendí y me sentí orgulloso de haberlo conocido, una gran persona humilde y sencillo sobre todo un gran ser humano , tener millones de fans y no haberse olvidado de mí ? Descansa en paz Davy Jones, nunca te olvidaré.
Where was it? His second to last was at BB King's in NYC. I was supposed to go but the plans fell through. I remember there was another concert a day or 3 later & then he suddenly passed. I was so sad I missed that show.
Hes from Manchester in England, where ive lived for over 20 years. Its a great city, but rains a lot, but....not at the moment as i write this July 3rd 2018...its very warm, we are having a heatwave !
justmadeit2 Global Warming? Heatwave in Manchester England? Somethings not right! That’s very strange! The climates changed or is changing because I’m hearing a lot about heatwaves in places that are known for chilly weather. Bizarre!
This is sorta weird but this is my grandpa and I love to search him up just to see his face/ voice. I miss him
Lolo Mc nothing weird .. your missing a loved one ❤️👍
If true..your Gramps band meant sooooooo much to me.💜 At 12 yrs old in 86 all I watched was that show.
You had one heck of a grandpa made 3 or 4 generations happy with his music including a lot of scooby doo fans but I know how you feel my second cousin was Jim nabors I'm always looking for his songs or vids of him saying shazam or golly because my dad told me when I was little he would say them and start laughing like crazy I was just an infant and when Jimmy was on gomer Pyle or the Andy Griffith show he would say that on there because he knew my dad had me watching and I would just start cackling

BLESSINGS AND PRAISES 🤷♂️🙏🏼💖☮️😘💋💋💋
Davy was my doubles tennis partner, my friend and a wonderful person.
I miss you old friend.
Gentleman is what describes Davy Jones. He give credit to others and is incredibly humble. Very cool. I'm sad he's gone.
I'm sad he has gone to I'm in tears.
Was heartbreaking. Gone too soon..💔
You need creative people when you do this, Michel Nesmith got them Bob Dylan, they found Jimmy Hendrix in New York, wow
SNL, some shows still do this now!
he was there, and did it!
We all miss them.

You are so lucky to have met him!
I never met Davy, but I'm grateful I got to see him perform by himself in 2010...Just two years before he passed.
Lucky...lucky, lucky, lucky!
He stayed at my house a few times in Nashville. My mom helped write his autobiography Daydream Believing. He was a pretty genuine.soul
He had exactly 60 days left when this interview was held. Yes we never know what the future holds from one day to the next and really should try to value and embrace every minute of every day. Davy seemed to be a good example of a person who enjoyed life and tried to do just that. One of my favorite all-time rock performers. God bless him and may he continue to RIP.

I'm wondering if early heart disease existed in either side of his family.
He doesn't seem very healthy here.
@@dannyd1572 disagree. He looks incredible here especially for his age and he is still very active.
There a video of him very Last one him
Few weeks before died Fatale heartache
Man he had a drop dead gorgeous wife. Be kind to one another please. money isn't everything
I was born in 1956. Still remember screaming at the lunch table at my job when a coworker told me Davy had just died. I immediately called my daughter and my cousin. His passing still makes me sad. Loved him!
:(((((((
💔
It was so sad listening to him talk about his future plans here, "next year", etc... Miss him. 😢
+calisongbird
I agree he seems like a very nice guy. so sad to hear that he passed so soon. =(
People make plans and God laughs
Yeah, that kinda hurt
Just sad that he didn’t last two months after this interview
My God, he had only two months to live when he did this. It's true, you have to treat each day like it's your last.
Bender IsGreat brings tears to my eyes. He should have lived many more years. Makes me wonder why his doctors didn’t see the writing on the wall. 😢
hospital was liable, he supposedly went to Emergency complaining of chest pains, they merely examined him and released him that same day. He went home and died, they should have kept him overnight at least.
All in hindsight, of course.
YOLO
Exercise and eat well is a good start
Difficult to believe he passed so many years ago, where does time go
Excuse me for the correction here, but the man did not "pass" or go away he simply "died" as all we mortals do. Not pass, nor pass away just died. Why do Americans find it so difficult to express the correct term?

@@Janus-fn2uz Maybe birth/death are a mental concept and time a psychological construct!
Sad, happy... Mixed feelings regarding time..
Who would have ever thought Davy would not be around two months after this interview. He sounded and looked in great shape for his age, such a shock to fans.
Very humble and giving. Wonderful man. Rest In Peace Davy, Mike and Peter.
He was one of those people who's singing voice was identical to his speaking voice.
You can totally hear Daydream Believer when he talks.
Not really. He still sounds like himself, but his voice has unmistakably changed with age. It would be hard for me to imagine his younger self talking with the voice of his older self. No disrespect though.
@@c.syde65 It's the same voice, just aged a little.
@@Mr.56Goldtop I know it's the same voice. But it definitely doesn't sound quite the way it did when he was younger.

Really a shock, just a couple months before his death but he looked as healthy and happy as ever. Health is a scary thing, I guess things can just sneak up on you without warning. He is greatly missed.

I don't think he looks healthy here

I loved Davy Jones. He was such a good singer and so cute. I miss him. R.I.P. Davy 🙏🏻 ❤
Davy Jones looked gorgeous in 2011 for hes age , RIP
So very sad...may he rest in peace. I've always loved Davy and the Monkees. Their music brings back great childhood memories.
The Monkees were the soundtrack to my childhood. I'm glad to have seen them a few times in concert in later years. Davy was definitely the charming one, and a great entertainer. RIP
Great interview. Well prepared interviewers with a fantastic attitude, and some wonderful anecdotes from Davy. Somewhat bittersweet, especially when he talked about his plans for his horses in the next year or so. It looks like he had a lot of fun in his life. A shame it couldn't last longer.
I was 11 when I first saw the Monkees in 1966. Instantly crushed on Davy with that British accent. So sad that he was gone first, then Peter, and now Michael. My heart breaks for Micky.
Like so many, I fell for Davy in 1966..and weren’t we the lucky ones!!! What a lovely man. He looks happy here... so grateful for him and all he gave and still does. 💖
What a nice guy! Loved the Monkees from the start! Singing with the angels….❤️
Davy Jones ...... A piece of History That Will Always Bring Beautiful Memories
to your heart and Soul .
He was a class act. Another class act David Bowie changed his name because of the popular Davy Jones. That was Bowie's birth name. RIP to the 2 real Davy Jones. Class Acts.
I didn't know that. I heard that David Bowie changed his name from "David Jones" (not "Davy Jones") but I did not know he changed to Tom Jones. I thought Tom Jones was an established singer way before the Monkees or David Jones, like in the early 1960s at least.

That story is more legend than fact. Bowie changed his name before anyone knew who Davy Jones the Monkee was.
Really,?
Untrue he changed it due to Davy's popularity with The Monkees.
Here we come walking down the street.. Loved Davey and all the band. Raced home for the show after school.
Some fun fact: David Bowie's real name was David Jones but he changed it so fan 's could differentiate between the two.
Very sorry we lost him. Heavy heart of condolences to all the family and fans. I personally will never forget him as memories of the show are burned into my mind. A really nice kind human who everyone loved.
RIP Davey Jones
It's Davy. No E
Heart wrenching to watch him. Wish he were still around !
Jeff Lewis:Wish they were all still around,espec Peter.Pete & that computer, hysterical!I replay it when I'm down.And could listen to Shades of Grey,Joanne & For Pete's Sake all day.Sooo funny how that got its name!
Beautiful man.. so caring and loving to his fans. Always be my #1 ❤😘😍
His last directive in his documentary was “Never give up on your dreams.” And he had a very serious tone as he walked away looking back at the camera. He passed not long after that.
Your grandfather was my teenage heartthrob along with thousands other but is voice and sincerity and decency is what came through on stage as a performer.He left you a great legacy best of luck to you and your dreams and talent does run in families.😍
i will always remember the good times i had watching you when i was growing up may you rest in paece in gods arms thank you davy jones
Lovely to watch./he was such a natural..
Davy Jones was and always will be the love of my life. Great to hear he still had his mancunian accent after all those years in the USA.
R.i.p beautiful man ❤❤
So sad.... Cherish everyday, hug those you love, forgive those you don't ... Thanks Davy for being you! Miss you
Did we think we'd be watching him, and have lost him so unexpectedly? No.
Miss you, Davy.
Quite ironic that America's answer to the Beatles has an English lead singer. Top guy - the Monkees was a must watch series when I was young.
I'd never seen this before...Davy was just a regular guy never patting himself on the back and thinking he was just so great like so many other performers....a very likeable and down to earth guy..wish i could have met him in person..I'll forever miss him...R.I.P. Davy
This interview of Davy Jones is alot fun to watch.
A class act. Rest in Peace, Sir.
I just read this, if this is true and he was your Grandpa, he was such a nice guy .He hugged me and put his head on my chest at a concert. I thought i was going to faint. I saw the monkees live when they were on TV, I was about 9 yrs old. He was so handsome. My heart broke when i heard he passed away.
Hard to believe he was not going to be around much longer, so much energy.
I miss Davy Jones. LOVE that accent he still had.
Yes, he was a good guy. Completely unpretentious about the Monkees and acknowledging that they borrowed that madcap style from Hard Day's Night. And he made some music a lot of people loved, me included.
He was a gem 💎 miss you Davy
I'm 57. Huge influence to me as a child to want to become a guitar player. The Monkees that is.
How i miss you Davy Jones!!! But the most important of you is alive : your happy and beautiful soul, your gentle and sweet heart... and i belive that you are always near us, and close by the side Who loves you cause you know that i love you and i am sure you know this!!! God lights up you more and more!!! ;)
Camila Maeda agreed. Death is an illusion anyway. Yes, the physical body dies, but the person never does. We are all eternal. I know that Davy was also with the other Monkees when they had their 50th anniversary tour last year. 😊
So humble such a wonderful voice. Such a loss Davey Jones 🥰
... thanks for posting the interview ... I don't understand these ten thumbs down ... probably just mistakes ... great guy ... great loss ...
I met Davy Jones at a Houston Aeros hockey game in the Summit in Houston in the 1990s. He was great to talk with and he showed his wonderful smile throughout our talk.
In 2009 I also got to meet Mickey Dolentz at Cynthia Woods pavilion north of Houston. I was glad to have met two on the Monkees. I always loved their music, their hilarious show and their sense of humor. They were American icons. We need more fun groups like the Monkees today.

gracious to the end. Cool dude
Loved this man, Davey Jones. I miss him terribly. Its 2020, September and the whole West Coast USA is on fire. It touches my heart that one of his last charity events was for firefighters.
There were two David Jones in music.
One ended up as Bowie.
The other is my true love the Monkee man. I picked the correct David Jones to love forever. RIP my love.
The pandemic and the fires are making me so SAD. I need some Monkees memories to sustain me.
A gentleman. A good man. A true talent with natural charisma. Cheers brother.
Monkees posessed all around fabulous talent - always fun and musically entertaining.
what a truly great man sadly missed but with his songs he will be with us forever
I have a soft spot for Davy. Love you Davy and thank you for all those young girl feelings.
RIP. You are missed.
RIP / VIP Thanks Davy always for inspiring us all and the young musician's and singers of the world....👍👍👍😎😎🙌👌✨✨💖💖💖💖
Just the best time to have grown up. Born in 57. So enjoyed the show
Davy jones had a great voice, great singer!!!!! Great ancient.
He was always looking ahead. From a kid, teenager, and beyond.
Davy Jones is still missed July 2020, and will forever be missed...
Went to a Monkees concert in Roanoke, VA a long time ago with a high school classmate. His 2 daughters reluctantly went but had a fantastic time. RIP to the 3 who are gone but not forgotten.
Davy Jones, Gran persona !!! Lo conocí en un restaurante 5 meses antes de su desaparición, tuve una grata conversación de unos minutos y luego me despedí de él, pero después de tres día me busco para regalarme unos CDs y un retrato autografiado, me sorprendí y me sentí orgulloso de haberlo conocido, una gran persona humilde y sencillo sobre todo un gran ser humano , tener millones de fans y no haberse olvidado de mí ? Descansa en paz Davy Jones, nunca te olvidaré.
I was at his last concert! He was great!
Where was it? His second to last was at BB King's in NYC. I was supposed to go but the plans fell through. I remember there was another concert a day or 3 later & then he suddenly passed. I was so sad I missed that show.
Hes from Manchester in England, where ive lived for over 20 years. Its a great city, but rains a lot, but....not at the moment as i write this July 3rd 2018...its very warm, we are having a heatwave !
justmadeit2
Global Warming? Heatwave in Manchester England? Somethings not right! That’s very strange! The climates changed or is changing because I’m hearing a lot about heatwaves in places that are known for chilly weather. Bizarre!
"Daydream Believer" ......sung best by Davy. Love that song 🎵 💕
Miss you Davy. You will always have a special place in my heart.
😢 loved Davey to bits so cute always very much missed...and Peter too. 💕
Very gracious in his interview. Im sorry I never saw him with the Monkees. RIP Davy.
Mark Ganter You missed out!! I enjoyed them in the 60's and then in the 80's, and WILL always love this group! Sorry, it is in my DNA!
Very likable person. God bless him.
Seen him with Mickey and Peter in Detroit about 8 months before he died, one hell of a show. A little bit of everything... R.I.P
