Calico Girlfriend was indeed on the first First National Band album. I was one of those people who didn't really follow him until his solo period. He deserved an (even) higher profile than he got as a solo artist and songwriter. May his memory be a blessing.

Sad and shocked to hear the news. And to think I'd been asking about the man not too long ago on Becky's show (she'd just caught The Monkees final performance in LA), and recently was looking up cover versions of one of his songs on Second Hand Songs ("You Just May Be The One").
RIP Mr. Nesmith. You were such an extraordinary talent.

Anything Mike Nesmith did with Red Rhodes is well worth checking out. There is a live set circulating with only Mike on guitar and vocals and Red on pedal steel, and it's fantastic. The video "Live At The Britt" is excellent too, from the 90's.

Same typa thing happened to my dad... My dad's band auditioned to be the front band for The Who, and Keith Moon was there... Halfway through their set he threw a chair and said, "Why the f%$k would I want to hear someone who sounds EXACTLY LIKE US!?!?!?"

...and it was only cause they were playing for Keith Moon that they did that, cause they DID HAVE their own sound, but they figured he would like them if they played like The Who... innocent miscalculation 😂😂😂

Androu B.:

Full disclosure:
At the age of 8, I sent out for one of those offers from the Columbia Record And Tape Club where you only send in a penny for 12 albums of your choice. This was the early 70's, when 8-tracks were still in use, and we had a stereo system with an 8-track player at home. My choices were primo:

Alice Cooper - School's Out
2 Atomic Rooster albums
1 Blue Cheer album (the one with their cover of "Summertime Bues")
Bread - Guitar Man (I regret getting that one in retrospect)
John Entwhistle - Bang Your Head Against The Wall
2 Spirit Albums
1 Steppenwolf Album
The Who - Live At Leeds
2 Wishbone Ash albums

Btw, That Benny Trokan track gave me some heavy Kurt Cobain vibes.

Toni Basil is and was amazing, her dance sequence in The Monkees' "Head" with Davy Jones is one of the coolest pieces of film from the late 60's and a highlight of that whole film. "Daddy's Song" written by Nilsson, originally sung by Mike Nesmith but then given to Davy to sing

Androu B.:

The major problem with 8-tracks is that element on the tape that changes the track would break off while it's playing because the glue they use to fasten it on would turn brittle over time. That's the reason I lost all of the 8-tracks I ordered then.

There were a few of them I never got to hear, sadly, like the Wishbone Ash and John Entwhistle albums. It now just occured to me that I actually got a lot more than 12 albums in the deal. And now that you mention him, I remember getting Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player".

Thanks a lot, Mike! Great Show!
