[Ipg-smz] So bummed

[Ken Hess]

Oh man. To have been there and done that. I loved the Monkees when I was a
little kid. I waited patiently for the episode where they sang Steppin'
Stone and my brother kept throwing stuffed animals at me which made me not
enjoy the episode. It was years later until I saw it again. It, of course,
was awesome. I think that everyone had the Greatest Hits Monkees album
--the black one with The Monkees written in bright orange. I think the RIAA
issued that one to every kid like they did later with the Frampton Comes
Alive album.

I want Mr. Schneider. I wonder who has him?
Thanks,

Ken
