Davy Jones was in San Ramon, Calif. Thursday signing books and promoting a
flower shop of a friend’s called Enchanted Forrest. There were more than 150
people attending the two-hour event, almost 20-1 women. For an account of
the event and a Wednesday story about where Davy Jones is at today see
newschoice.com. On the left hand side of the page you will see a list of
newspapers. Click on Tri-Valley Herald and put Davy Jones in the search line
and two stories should come up. Both were very well written and are fun to
read. Ciao – AFH

Screen Gems Network Launches New Hour of Programming May 1 With ‘The
Partridge Family’ and ‘The Monkees’

CULVER CITY, Calif., May 2 /PRNewswire/ — Columbia TriStar Television
Distribution’s (CTTD) Screen Gems Network launches a new one-hour programming
block this week with “The Monkees” and “The Partridge Family.” The new shows
begin airing today, Monday through Friday, in national syndication. The
Screen Gems Network is a fresh and fluid programming source with a rotation
of the most popular episodes of some of the best shows ever made from the
library of Columbia TriStar. Two of television’s most memorable wishmakers,
“Bewitched” and “I Dream of Jeannie,” launched on Screen Gems Network in
September, 1999 and are now replaced by two more classic favorites.

“The Monkees,” which originally aired from September 1966 to March 1968, and
“The Partridge Family,” which originally aired from September 1970 to 1974,
were the first television series to revolve around bands. Now we have pop
and rock bands everywhere on the small screen, but nostalgia for this period
is more than alive and well with series like “That ’70s Show” and last
evening’s NBC special movie presentation, “The ’70s.” Screen Gems Network
will package all Monkees and Partridge family episodes with fun and nostalgic
“interstitials” containing classic commercials, show trivia and other
exclusive elements.

Screen Gems Network brings classic television back to daytime with over 350
classic television series from the 1950’s to the 1980’s. These series are
just a few of the countless popular television programs from Columbia TriStar
Television Distribution, with the largest television library in the
entertainment business.

CTTD is a Sony Pictures Entertainment Company. Sony Pictures’ global
operations encompass motion picture production and distribution, television
programming and syndication, home video acquisition and distribution,
operation of studio facilities, development of new entertainment technologies
and distribution of filmed entertainment in 67 countries. Sony Pictures

On page 8 of Newsweek’s May 8th edition, Micky is mentioned along with
three other artists participating in a Paramount Studios charity auction.

It is in the Periscope section and is titled “Did He Sign It ‘Edvard
Monkee’?” Readers are encouraged to “match genius with creation” as a
quiz. Sly Stallone, Ringo Starr and Donna Summer are the other artists
featured.

All of the works (by “many noted artists”) are on sale at

This appears on the citizensvoice.com, a local

newspaper’s website, and speaks briefly about Peter

and Shoes Suede Blues playing at the Nescopeck Briggs

Farms Blues Festival, for those interested.

Peter Tork & Shoe Suede Blues

to play Briggs Farm Blues Fest

——————————————————————————–

By Jerry Kishbaugh

Citizens’ Voice Entertainment Editor

——————————————————————————–

It appears Peter Tork may have gotten the Monkee off

his back.

Yeah, that’s right, the former member of the Monkees’

pop group is now immersed in the blues.

In fact, Peter Tork & Shoe Suede Blues will be

headlining the third annual Briggs Farm Blues

Festival, which will have a two-day run in July.

For those of you who haven’t attended the previous two

blues fests at Briggs Farm in Nescopeck, this is one

of the best music events of the summer. The two-day,

outdoor concert takes place on the bucolic environs of

the spacious and beautiful Briggs Farm. In addition to

offering a great line-up of blues’ artists, the

festival also boasts some of the finest food

concessions around (including mouth-watering roasted

sweet corn).

Peter Tork & Shoe Suede Blues will kick off the third

edition of the Briggs Farm Blues Festival on Friday,

July 14, at 5 p.m. For those old enough to remember,

Peter Tork was a member of the world-famous 1960’s pop

group the Monkees and one of the four stars of the

popular television series, “The Monkees.” In addition

to Tork, the other Monkees were Mike Nesmith, Mickey

Dolenz and Davey Jones.

Following the Peter Tork contingent at 7 p.m. on July

14 will be Australia’s leading blues band, Harper,

currently in the midst of its fifth tour of the U.S.

Closing out the festival’s fist night of blues’ fare

will be vocalist Melissa Reaves, who is making at

return engagement at the Briggs Farm get-together.

Day two (Saturday, July 15) of the blues’ fest will

kick off with another returnee, the Susquehanna

Delta’s own Krypton City Blues Revue, which is one

hell of a dynamic band. The Krypton City boys will

take the stage at 5 p.m. Next up will be B.C. & the

Blues Crew, a hot blues unit that is slated to perform

at 7 p.m.

Concluding the blues’ festival with a set beginning at

9 p.m. will be JSP recording artist Johnny Rawls.

According to “Blues Access” magazine (1999), Rawls

offers “some of the best Southern soul music of this

or any year.”

If you’re a fan of the blues and like to camp in the

country, don’t miss the opportunity to kick back for

the whole weekend at Briggs Farm. There is plenty of

camping space available on-site.

The third running of the Briggs Farm Blues Festival

also will feature a 5-K trail run at 9 a.m. on

Saturday, July 15, blues hayrides, fresh roasted corn

and other tasty delights, and, of course, great music

in a serene setting. Also on tap for Saturday night

will be a give-away of an Epiphone Special II electric

guitar provided by Schoolhouse Music of Danville.

Simply put, the outdoor Briggs Farm Blues Festival is

a great way to spend a summer day or weekend.

Briggs Farm is located four miles north of Interstate

80 exit 38 on Route 93 in Nescopeck Township.

Davy Jones Daydream Believin’ book review from 4/28/00 issue Somerset/Pulaski News Journal, Somerset Ky.

Daydream Believin By: Davy Jones. Hercules promotions p.o. box 9539 metairie La. 70055.

Imagine living in your own apartment in New York City at the age of 15; performing to sell out crowds on Broadway, and being told by Judy Garland: “after tonight, this city is yours”. That was only the beginning for David, (soon to be Davy) Jones of the Monkees.

This book (Daydream Believin ) tells more of a personal account of these times and many other stories in Jones truly fascinating life. Going from class clown to stable boy; in a near instant to superstardom as the artful dodger in “Oliver!” Without giving too much away here, Jones takes us inside Monkeemania, (when the band outsold the Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined) to the groups slow demise, the struggling years after the fame, going back on the acting stage, and then back on tour during the Monkees Mega comeback in the late 80s, to present day operations as a singer/songwriter/recording artist with devoted fans the world over.

This book reads fast, as Davy talks to the reader as if you were setting in a cafe with him sipping a bottomless coffee. Many personal photos included. I recently had the opportunity to chat with David after a Daydream Believin book signing in Nashville, which was recorded digitally for an exclusive radio interview. Until then, I m sure Davy would like you to visit his website: www.davyjones.net. Ask about the book at On Cue. It s a classic story of a classic rock legend.
