A couple of reminders for West Coast Monkees people:

If you are in the Los Angeles area, listen to Peter Tork and Andrew Sandoval
on KRTH 101.FM tomorrow morning (July 6, 2005). They will be talking with DJ
Hollywood Hamilton sometime after 8am.

And don't forget on Saturday, July 9th from 5-7pm, Andrew and Peter will be
signing
copies of Andrew's new Monkees book at Tower in Sherman Oaks (Sherman Oaks

Former Monkee Peter Tork Teams Up With Music Historian

Andrew Sandoval for Performance and Book Signing


WHO: Rhino Records consultant and Monkees insider Andrew Sandoval and
former Monkees band member Peter Tork.

WHAT: Signing for the acclaimed new book The Monkees: The Day-by Day Story
of the 60s Pop TV Sensation (Thunder Bay Press, July 2005).

And a special performance by Peter Tork, former musician with the
Monkees. He will perform various Monkees hits, as well as original songs.

Revealing a remarkably rich and detailed story, The Monkees takes the
reader day-by-day through the band’s short but explosive career, bringing
to life recording sessions, concert performances, filming commitments, and
other public appearances, including encounters with The Beatles, Neil
Young, Jimi Hendrix and other key figures of the decade. It also contains
exclusive interviews with each band member. Publishers Weekly called the
book, “A strong package…captivating,” and the Associated Press said,
“Monkees fans will go ape over this one.”

recently, and the article was posted yesterday. Here's a link to the
edited version. If anyone's interested in the real thing, I'll
probably be posting it on my blog soon (stuartshea.blogspot.com)
