They may be coming to your town

    Holy crap. The surviving members of the Monkees are reuniting for a series of 12 concerts. Unfortunately as everyone knows Davey Jones passed away earlier this year. I figured that was the end of the band and there was no way micky Dolenz and Peter Tork would ever tour as the Monkees again. What makes this even  cooler is that my favorite member of the group--Michael Nesmith will be joining them. The monkees formed in the 60's and have done many reunion shows since 1986. Nesmith has only done a handful of shows with them since 1986. He hasn't shared the stage with them since 1997. I love his music and have his solo albums as well. I was trying to not get to excited about this figuring they would come nowhere near us to play. I was wrong. One of the 12 concerts is in Buffalo. Man i want to go so bad. They have said that they will be playing with a back up band but there will be a segment of the show where  just the 3 of them will playing  one of their albums in its entirety. So cool.
