What are you listening to now - No. 8 🎵🎻🎶🎼🎸

[Bamboo Harvester]

Linda fronted this band and it’s my first memory of her as a performer. The song was written by Mike Nesmith before he became a member of The Monkees.

Speaking of the great man, this was another of his gems post Monkees.

I love that song. The horns with a touch of 60s psychedelia make it memorable.

The Monkees were a phenomenon. I remember the songs and the TV show. It was funny playing with everyone in the street, bigger families in those days, and someone would shout that the show was starting and immediately the street would be deserted.

I went and saw the Mike and Mickey show at the Palais about 5 years ago. I listened to all the old songs that I was familiar with and then Mike took centre stage with this one and it floored me. The harmonising between the two gave it a sweetness. Even at their age they still had it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did on the night.

This would have been a great song to dance to at parties in the 1960’s.

The songs are well crafted. The musicians could play. More like love letters to me.

It’s note perfect.

I knew there was a point to this song and I witnessed it last night.

Monkees were my first gig, 1967, Festival Hall full of screaming teen girls. Thanks for taking me, mum.
