Expertise
I can answer questions about the Monkees` recording career (both as a group and as solo acts), the Monkees` television series (episode names, dates, plots, etc), and Monkees` memoribilia (although I cannot estimate values of collectibles). I enjoy talking about Michael Nesmith`s (Nez) solo career.
Experience
I am a first generation Monkees fan, having watched the series in its original 1966 - 1968 television run. I have several reference books on the group and have developed a web network of reference materials.
