Q: “Actually, I was going to ask you about your career before [The Monkees].” Peter Tork: “Oh, I was a folk singer. Before that I was in school, and before that I was in the bosom of my family. I was in New York singing folk songs on the Greenwich Village stages.” [see early 1960s for more about Peter's Village days] Q: “How did you end up going out to California?” PT: “‘37 Chevy. Broke down outside of Las Vegas. When it started to belch brown water out of the tail pipe I knew it was all over. We hitch hiked the rest of the way. I had a lady friend waiting for me, I thought. Turned out I was far more threatening in the flesh than at a calm, safe distance, so that didn’t last long. But she connected me to with the Golden Bear Cafe in Huntington Beach, where I got a job washing dishes. I did some work accompanying Steve Stills when he was with Ron Long and the Buffalo Fish. I accompanied this black trio called the [Apollas], on the stand-up string bass.” Q: “Did you go out there looking for an acting career, a singing career, or both?” PT: “No, actually I thought the world should make a place for dishwashers and people who jerk beers. No, I always thought I was gonna be an entertainer, I think. I think I thought. Acting was not out of that realm. I had no idea I was gonna break loose; that was out of the blue. “ Q: “If the Monkees gig hadn’t come along, do you think you would’ve kept playing folk music?” PT: “No, I would have gone to rock in short order. The Beatles were coming along and that was a thrill. I would have put down that acoustic guitar long since, anyway. I often wonder about that. Where would I be had I not joined the Monkees? But I think, all told, it would’ve been just the same. I think I would’ve been more consistent than I am now but the overall effect would’ve been about the same.” - Goldmine, May 1982

"Miss Peel we are needed". Dianna Rigg as Emma Peel. You will be seeing a whole lot of her and Steed from time to time. I'm a fan of the original: The Avengers.

“I do, I do [recall seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show, on February 9, 1964]. I didn’t have TV, but my grandmother did, and I called her up and said, ‘Grandma, can we come up and watch Ed Sullivan on your…?’ She said, ‘Oh, yes, okay, darling, if you must.’ (Laughs) I remember it pretty vividly. What I remember among other things, that — as exciting as it was to see that, that they actually had done a somewhat better job on their records. That they — you know, the live show, I don’t know if they were nervous or if they didn’t care because the kids were screaming or what have you.” - Peter Tork, Breakfast With The Beatles, June 16, 2013

“What I was working towards was to be in a group. When the Beatles hit, where were all the folkies going to go? But I also wanted to be a folk music performer. A lot of what I did was hanging out, feeling for the first time that I was part of the scene, walking down the street and seeing people I knew, doing a little flirting.” - Peter Tork, Bringing It All Back Home: 25 Years of American Music at Folk City (1986)

Also on that same Ed Sullivan Show — the cast of Broadway’s Oliver!, including Davy Jones. On a Oliver!-related note…

“I used to do that song [‘Who Will Buy?’] when I was a Greenwich Village hippie folksinger. I don’t know why, but the song appealed to me, both on its own account as an exercise in chord changes and how to play it on guitar. It was amazing that I did a song from Oliver!, and there, in my face, lo and behold, was Davy Jones, the American original Artful Dodger.” - Peter Tork, The Birds, The Bees and The Monkees box set liner notes
