Davy Jones... RIP My Daydream Believer

I was stunned when I found out Davy Jones had died yesterday. He was a powerful presence from my childhood that I will sincerely miss. I LOVED the Monkees, they were my one of my most favorite shows when I was kid. On my local station it was syndication heaven... The Monkees, the Munsters, the Addams Family and the Banana Splits Show. All in a row!! I could not ask for a better schedule.

I crushed on Davy big time, that voice, that smile and those eyes accentuated with the sparklies. ;) He was the littlest Monkee, the sweetheart who won over most of the girls and I just loved him. He made my six year old heart beat faster. I wanted to color with him and imagined having him play dolls with me and of course, sing to me. Yes, I was a born seductress. Of course, I hadn't a clue at the time that he and the rest of the band, Mike, Mickey and Peter, had all moved beyond the show, LOL

Here's a few of my fave Monkees moments and songs in honor of Davy.





And here's a clip from the ep entitled Monkees in a Ghost Town. Look who have as the thugs: The Wolfman himself, Lon Chaney Jr. and Len Lesser...Uncle Leo from Seinfeld.
