Peter Tork #1: Original Doodle

In the early 60s, Peter was involved in the Greenwich Village folk music scene. He befriended other up-and-coming musicians such as Stephen Stills, and after both moved to the Los Angeles area, Stills suggested Tork audition for a new television series about four pop-rock musicians. Peter got the job and became one of the four members of The Monkees.

Peter was a proficient musician and while The Monkees generally did not play their own instruments on their first two albums, he was an exception. He played keyboards, bass guitar, banjo, and other instruments on their recordings. He also wrote along with Joey Richards the closing theme song of the second season of The Monkees, For Pete's Sake.

Although he played the lovable dummy in the popular television show, he is actually a highly intelligent, literate person, as the other Monkees have always been keen to point out in interviews.

In 1994, Peter Tork used his talents to produce his own solo album, Stranger Things Have Happened. He released the album Two Man Band with James Lee Stanley in 1996. Once Again followed in early 2001.
