My Unplanned Sabbatical

A journey with follicular lymphoma

Daydream Believer

Woke this morning to the news that Davey Jones had passed away at the age of 66 of a heart attack.

Now I know some of you will have memories of the Monkeys, the band and the show. I know I do as a young boy it was one of my favorites. 66 is a bit young I think.

Anyway for those of you who remember the band and what I think was their biggest hit  – click below. Quirky, silly song but brings a smile. Top hair!

Today is a good day (ignoring Davey). Feel great. Have worked a bit, even participated in a conference call – fancy that. Good to use the brain.

Cheers

    Mickey on tamborine – it gives me hope that I too can still be in a rock band and have my own teleseries.

    Do you think there is an under representaiton of triangle players in rock bands – who doesn’t have fond memories of those from school?

    • I excelled at the triangle in primary school. All the wogs got the triangle at my school. High achievers.

        Hey Duch – glad to hear you are feeling better. The Monkeys was one one of my fav bands. It was because of them I wanted to be a drummer (much to the disgust of my wog parents) and now I am humming the Daydreamer song in Qantas lounge waiting for my plane to arrive (late as usual!). Bacione. Fx

    • Sneza worried you are muscling in on the friendship!! Such WLF
