Peter was always my favorite Monkee...everyone else preferred Davy, but not me. My prayers are with Peter and his family.

For quite an intelligent chap, it's ironic he played the groups lovable dummy who wasn't the brightest bulb in the box. My favourite has to be Mickey Dolenz and his forever clowning about. I guess fav songs would include I'm A Beleiver, I Wanna Be Free, Pleasant Valley Sunday, and Daydream Believer. For a little trip down memory lane---for some of us!--- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG34bDwJcVc A bit like on the radio the other morning they played I'm Telling You Now by Freddie and the Dreamers, though sadly Freddie passed away in May 2006.

When I was a teenager he appeared as the drummer in the Monkeys, 4 lads put together to front records recorded by an unknown pop group. Lead singer Davey Jones came from Manchester, England, Peter Tork I think was the one with the wooley hat. If you go on 'You Tube' follow the thread 'Home videos' and type in 'I'm a believer' 'Monkeys', you can see them play.

You are right about Peter Tork, if I am not mistaken, he went on to become an English teacher to high school students! Michael, Mike Nesmith was the one with the wooly hat. I too have my favorite songs: Pleasant Valley Sunday, Last Train to Clarksville, I am Not Your Stepping Stone, and Listen to the Band, to name a few.
