    There were actually two bona fide musicians in the Monkees: Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork. Nesmith already had shown himself to be an excellent songwriter before the group formed, most famously having composed "Different Drum," while Tork's musical proficiency was so lauded that he could have become a member of The Wrecking Crew, the famous group of session players which included for a time Glen Campbell.

    On the subject of Peter and Michael - there are more quotes (all filed under the tag "Peter and Michael" at thislovintime.tumblr.com), but to let Peter's words speak for themselves: “Well, I’ve never been really close with Michael [Nesmith] for some reason. You know, I have a lot of respect for him and admiration. But somehow we’ve never integrated. We’ve never been warm with each other. We worked together and did pretty well at it really.” - Peter, Clevescene, March 13, 2017

    Tork was vastly underutilized by the business. Every time I get a glimpse of his natural musical bents... there are recordings of him casually playing the banjo and singing floating around that are amazing also... it feels like no one could see him. So much early seventies pop that is pretty much a more organized, cleaned up version of the vibe on this song.

    Both my wife and I are great fans of Peter. Especially his icisive and peotic songwriting. As well as Monkees we have his other albums on CD. We have read many books and articles talking of him. I guess it is the simple fact that folk and blues wre his forte. He always gave of himself honestly and with empathy and thoughtful understanding. You could trust his music. He was a real free spirit. He believed what he sang. He cared for all people with tolerance and grace. He walked the walk. He also acknowledged the better instincts of others and of himself. He was a real hippie. He lived life caring and sharing. His talents musically were original and he worked very hard to get where e did. He was a beautiful optimistic , and generous soul. Thank you Peter for your rich musical legacy. You entertained so many. You smiled your way through adversity. You touched us and became part of the atmoshere of meaningful music. You were a brilliant psychedelic painter of song
