He is apparently quite technically adept with tube amps and wanted a schematic to do some work himself. Unfortunately there is none. So Ralph tried to provide the i... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview My understanding is the Monkees were permitted to play their own instruments around the time of their third album. Originally that was not in the plans.A lot of The Monkees stuff actually holds up pretty well as pop music IMHO. Most of their songs... | |
