This quote was from Michael Nesmith talking
about Davy Jones when ask about The Monkees.
If you did not read: Davy Jones I Want A Piece
Of That at: http://customx-custommodels.blogspot.com/
It goes from Davy Jones born to ending with his
signing a contact with Columbia ,who also had con-
tracts with Colpix Records,and Screen Gems,both
own by Columbia Pictures.It also shared where he
he recieved his nickname:Davy,and also who shared
the loved of horses,and where he was when he said:
I Want A Piece Of That.
Davy was had just met Bob Rafelson and Bert-
Schnieder,the directors,of "The Monkees"concept the
directors,of"The Monkees"concept.Davy was the only
one who assigned to a deal with the studio.At this point,
he was the first selected to his acting trialor for this project.
In which the whole concept,was actually held,until the movie,
The Beatles Hard Days Night movie came out.When that
was was a office smash,the producers brainstored,about four
in a folk rock group,but with different backgrounds.They wanted
They wanted the"Loving Spoonful,"but they were already under
contract,with someone else.So,they,through out different names,
and,when one person called out:"The Monkees" it stuck. Now
they had to find four young men,who were from different back
grounds,yet would be like the Marx Brothers.They had Davy,
now the search was on to find the other three.
They had screen tests and besides,Davy,they chose Micky

they had "Monkee Day"in August 1966,Micky and Davy said:
"They are playing are song on the radio.The song they played
was"Last Train To Clarksville."Dolenz,and Jones,were so happy.
Then Micheal Nesmith was also on the Colpix Lable,just as Davy
was.His Country style,being a real musician,who had his own way
of doing things.He was also married to Phylis,and had a son to care
of with his wife.Peter Tork was also a musician,who was discovered,
while being employed as a dish washer.Peter had the most musical
ability,and was teased about it.He could play drums,guitar,banjo,flute,
french horn,bass guitar,key board,and so many more musical instruments.
It is true fact that Micky Dolenz,Peter Tork,and Michael Nesmith,did
not want Davy Jones as the lead singer.Instead,Micky Dolenz was chose
as the lead singer.Then Micky was chosen for drums,since no one wanted
to play them.Davy did get on the drums,but the director over the music,felt
Davy would not be seen by the camaras.Instead Davy would be the front
runner,playing the tamberine,and maracas.Some song Davy sang lead on.
The first episode of The Monkees Royal Flush Davy Jones sang lead on
the first song.
There was alot competition with Micky,Mike,and Peter,but Davy just did
what he was told.
