jimbeaux 8:13:42 PM

Rob from Maryland 8:28:54 PM
John, I was wondering if you were birding in Arizona
John Pittman 8:29:05 PM
Hit return too quickly. ...and hanging out in a favorite place before Christmas 🎄 in L.A.
Pethie (host) 8:29:18 PM
I don't think I beeped!
Ambrose Hughes 8:29:50 PM
@jimbeaux, yes, sigh.
John Pittman 8:30:10 PM
Yes! I just came from Roswell NM where the sandhill cranes were 🤯🤯🤯
Corage Mike 8:30:17 PM
Double sigh.
Rob from Maryland 8:30:21 PM

This is good…. say what?
Corage Mike 8:35:03 PM
Feeling empowered!
Rofflestomp 8:35:12 PM
Sandhill cranes! I caught seeing them in Nebraska as I passed threw there once. Sounds like a Tom Robbins novel to me anytime I hear the name.
Pethie (host) 8:35:22 PM

Pethie (host) 8:59:17 PM
Mike was my favorite Monkee.
Rofflestomp 9:00:15 PM
Loved Mikes hat. I was a Tork fan personally.
Rob from Maryland 9:00:33 PM
This has always been my fave Monkees song
Pethie (host) 9:01:02 PM
Mike's hat was also very loveable.
Rob from Maryland 9:01:24 PM
@John, nice photo and hopefully hummers tomorrow!
Rofflestomp 9:01:54 PM
Yea, his hat was great addition to the band.
Matthew Maginley 9:02:27 PM
saw a photo of them recently, Mike was relatable somehow as a crush, in a George Harrison way if you know what I mean -compared to the rest. THe hat was adorable.
Matthew Maginley 9:03:13 PM
@ Rofflestomp lol - you're on a roll tonight : )
Alan Pasnyk 9:03:41 PM
@ Pethie: Leavin' the chat now for Fishsticks and WPRB on the FM in the Kitchen. I love the way that your show usually morphs into Music with Space coming up. G'night everyone! PEACE! ✌️ bcnu
Rob from Maryland 9:04:12 PM
Ah, yes, the hat!
Corage Mike 9:04:17 PM
Sigh.
Rob from Maryland 9:04:26 PM

Great pedal steel!
Pethie (host) 9:04:34 PM
Goodnight, Alan!
Rofflestomp 9:04:38 PM
Thanks Matthew, just enjoying this great day.
Matthew Maginley 9:04:46 PM
@ Rob hi Rob @ Roffle Peter Tork reminded me Harpo Marx - playing at a different level
Rofflestomp 9:04:53 PM
G'nite Alan
Corage Mike 9:05:05 PM
He was harpo.
Matthew Maginley 9:05:34 PM
g'nite Alan see you in M w/ Space
Rob from Maryland 9:05:44 PM
Hi Matthew
Matthew Maginley 9:06:52 PM
Pethie - very nice of you to honor Mike Nesmith- I doubt there is another station in the world playing these songs.
Rofflestomp 9:07:11 PM
"For Pete's Sake" was by far the best tune and summed up so much stuff. Not even written by Boyce and Hart.
Corage Mike 9:07:37 PM
Doing the eagles before the eagles.
Matthew Maginley 9:07:54 PM
more steel guitar!
Rofflestomp 9:08:35 PM
Nesmith was a Dallas native.
Pethie (host) 9:08:58 PM
He did have a lovely little twang in his voice
Ambrose Hughes 9:09:09 PM
@Rofflestomp, Houston!
Matthew Maginley 9:09:21 PM
(Was this song in The Great Lebowski?)
Pethie (host) 9:09:32 PM
Might have been!
John Pittman 9:09:38 PM
A++++
Rofflestomp 9:10:29 PM
@ Ambrose Checked his bio earlier today, Could have sworn it was Dallas area.
John Pittman 9:11:20 PM
I think the Lebowski version was The Sons of the Pioneers.
Ambrose Hughes 9:12:35 PM
@Rofflestomp, I read Houston but whatever, we know he was A Texan👍
Matthew Maginley 9:14:01 PM
@ John P. ahh it's a great song. I'll look it up. A favorite song. Thanks
Rofflestomp 9:14:41 PM
@Ambrose Your right, he moved to Dallas later with his mom.
Rofflestomp 9:15:24 PM
@Ambrose Yea, very Texan.
John Pittman 9:16:46 PM
@Rob Thanks!
Matthew Maginley 9:19:00 PM
Steel guitar sounds like bacon tastes

This is so good ❤ thank you Pethie.
Pethie (host) 9:20:43 PM
Thank you! I cobbled it together quick, and I'm no expert on the Monkees or Nesmith, but I wanted to play some of his songs tonight
Joseph Edward Bonaparte Junior 9:20:43 PM
❤️❤️❤️
John Pittman 9:23:01 PM
It was a wonderful selection of tunes - going to queue up the Ranch Stash album tomorrow when I'm out and about.
Rofflestomp 9:31:04 PM
I love that the songs you played were rather off brand, and not Hey, Hey were the Monkeys.
Rofflestomp 9:31:42 PM
'
Pethie (host) 9:33:24 PM
Ah, well, I have to credit my friend Julia for suggesting some lovely songs to play. She's very into the Monkees, has been since I met her back in the 80s
Rofflestomp 9:34:09 PM
Proff's to Julia!
Pethie (host) 9:36:26 PM
also RIP to Robbie Shakespeare!
Pethie (host) 9:36:54 PM
I put this song on the playlist before I had heard of his passing...
Ambrose Hughes 9:36:55 PM
BIG UP'S Pethie!
jimbeaux 9:37:16 PM
dang, i missed the slang about the cranes
Ambrose Hughes 9:37:22 PM

Rofflestomp 9:37:46 PM
The Grimm Reaper is having a field day with musicians this year.
Ambrose Hughes 9:38:58 PM
@Rofflestomp, yeah, guess he took time to sharpen his scythe
jimbeaux 9:39:14 PM

Pethie (host) 9:39:31 PM

jimbeaux 9:40:14 PM

Rofflestomp 9:40:35 PM
Disavowing all knowledge of music theory for the time being Ambrose!.
Pethie (host) 9:41:03 PM
I would imagine so! I will have to sneak a listen at work tomorrow (I'm at the library during his show--shhhhh)
Ambrose Hughes 9:41:38 PM
@Rofflestomp, 🤗
Rofflestomp 9:41:49 PM

Rofflestomp 9:43:08 PM

Pethie (host) 9:43:39 PM

Pethie (host) 9:44:06 PM
Ah! That's cool. I have always loved 'big electric cat'
Rofflestomp 9:45:15 PM
Animal Grace and Adidas In Heat are also top shelf for me.
Matthew Maginley 9:46:49 PM
6 hrs ago AB posted about Mike on his FB page " my favorite autobiography I’ve ever read (and I’ve read soooo many) is pictured here: Infinite Tuesdays. so good I think I’ll read it again. if you don’t know mike’s full history, do yourself a favor: google him. he was a special person."
Pethie (host) 9:47:31 PM
Oh that's so cool!
Pethie (host) 9:48:03 PM
Thanks for that, Matthew!
Rofflestomp 9:48:22 PM
Definitely going there!
Matthew Maginley 9:48:49 PM
Here is the beginning of the post. I'm ready to cry.."even if you’ve been reading this page for years, you would still have no idea what a fan I am of Michael Nesmith. I don’t think I have ever mentioned it. but for the last year or so I have been trying to contact him (unsuccessfully). why? because I think he is an unsung hero. his work makes me think we could be good friends. but it’s too late now. R.I.P. Nez. I truly wish we would have known each other. "
Pethie (host) 9:49:50 PM
So sweet.
Matthew Maginley 9:50:08 PM
@everybody - dont put off til tomorrow to tell people how you feel today. love to you all !
Pethie (host) 9:50:30 PM
So true, so true.
Rofflestomp 9:51:54 PM
