    This song is so meaningful to me. My first crush was on a girl named Joanne. In 1970 I was 13. She was a year older than I was. We went Le Conte Jr High in Hollywood
    She never knew who I was. The closest I ever got to getting to know her was getting her phone number calling her hearing her voice and hanging up totally petrified! That whole episode lasted about a week! This song really gets to me! One of my many great memories of growing up in the 60's and 70's!

    Two years later he passed, a very difficult song to sing, the highs are difficult and he still had it. Rest in peace Michael, I'll always remember you as a young man in the Monkees.

    Old age is nobody's friend but Micheal is handling it better than most. I am about 10 years behind him and I hope I manage it with as much grace. He still has "that" voice.

    The most gifted musician and singer out of The Monkees and could hold his own against any of the singer/ guitarists of his generation. I loved this the very first time I heard it on the radio back around 1982. It was 12 years old by then and I realised Mike was a real musician and a great voice. God bless Mike. Sadly missed but forever remembered. 👏🌷🎼🎤

    Mike was my favorite Monkee!! My name is Joanne, so I was shocked when I found out in the 70s that there was actually a song about a girl (who spelled her name the same way I do) named Joanne...and then to find out it was written by Mike Nesmith!! Love the pedal steel and his high notes. He is missed. I saw Peter and Micky in Charlotte back several years ago. I was so disappointed that Mike didn't join them that tour. They did a great "Daydream Believer" memorial tribute to Davy that night. Our usher told us he saw them in Charlotte (when they first started touring) and a new guy (Jimi Hendrix) did warm up for them!! Yep! THAT Jimi!! 😁

It's certainly the most recent performance of him that I've had the opportunity to enjoy. Most importantly, Mike is in good form here, both in voice and on guitar (amazing for a person his age), and he's back at the Troubadour! It's, also, an excellent performance of one of his most well known and loved songs, Joanne. How could ANYONE NOT like this! Well done, Speedy. L308C66V19351S61/:-)
