The Monkees' guitarist Mike Nesmith, died 12/10/21 from heart disease. Combining his 2 favorite genres: psychedelic rock and country, he innovated songwriting for The Monkees as well as multiple artists. I created a playlist of favorite songs I recommend from his music career.

Theme Song: "Dance Track", composed by Jessica Ann Catena
