What a moving tribute to Davy Jones. ...Dear Kathy,<br />What a moving tribute to Davy Jones. I never even knew his name, much less the songs he sang or the musicals in which he appeared. Nor have I ever listened to the Monkees. <br /><br />Your tribute shows us a man who journeyed through fame and fortune and then hard things happened and yet he remained his gracious self. I wish I'd known his work earlier.<br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-38784971369632532052012-03-04T08:19:31.699-07:002012-03-04T08:19:31.699-07:00This memory has made my day, Kathy.

But now, I think highly of him, too, for his kindness and his wish to have always been kind. Good on him.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-73998460498594930302012-03-04T05:45:09.300-07:002012-03-04T05:45:09.300-07:00A treasured memory for you...and now for us...a pe...A treasured memory for you...and now for us...a personal story of international interest.

I can relate on so many levels, but mostly being so terribly shy and having to step out of that comfort zone. What's second nature now was strangely alien "back then," and it's clear we share that. But what I love most about it is how things came full circle. We don't always have that opportunity to close the circle, revisit an experience so physically that many years later. I just love it. FYI, lots of PBS stations will be showing the "60s Rock, Pop and Soul" special in March during pledge -- he's a co-host. Enjoy. I know I will.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-89876103598897649512012-03-01T23:01:10.069-07:002012-03-01T23:01:10.069-07:00This is beautiful - and it's nice to know that...This is beautiful - and it's nice to know that he was as kind and friendly in real life as he seemed to be in his public appearances.
