I had the great fortune of seeing the Monkees perform last summer, for their 45th anniversary tour. They were absolutely amazing, performing for three straight hours with no intermission. A large screen was positioned above the stage, showing films and clips of them from the 1960's, while they performed in real time. The audience was on their feet and singing along to many of the songs, and I remember feeling such joy at the unbridled fun we were having.

The news of Davy's passing today brought tears to my eyes. I remember waiting in anticipation for their sitcom to air on Monday evenings, and forty six years later, it continues to hold up remarkably well, along with all of their great music.

My condolences go out to his wife, children and grandchildren. May this handsome and talented gentleman who touched so many hearts, rest in peace.
