A half dozen times? Were you a Monkees dead head?

Hardly, but I'm old and my parents were hippies. I enjoy most rock music from the 50s forward, and I saw them twice before I moved to Jacksonville and 3 or 4 times here over the years. I took my mom to see Dolenz and Nesmith here last year on their "farewell tour" and then Nesmith passed away a month or so later, so I'm glad she got to see Mike on stage again one last time. I've seen groups like The Turtles, Jefferson Starship/Starship, The Grass Roots, Paul Revere, The Kinks from going to concerts with my parents as a kid or taking them as they've aged. It's a cool thing we share.
