Dear TIGER BEAT Readers,
Since the Monkees are on their huge national tour, they haven’t been filming their series since June. So, for this month’s column, we’ve chosen pictures from the shows they did just before leaving on tour.
The weather was a gas in June, so the Monkee company spent many days outdoors at the Columbia Ranch in Burbank, just over the hill from our TiGER BEAT offices. I saw Davy with his shirt off almost every minute they weren’t filming. Both he and Mike often trek off to Palm Springs on the weekends, when they can, so they both have extra-super tans!
Well, I’m almost out of space for this month, but I know I’ll never have enough space to tell you about next month’s activities—I’ll be on tour with them for a whole Monkee-mad week! I’ll tell you every detail next month!
Love,
Ann Moses
Info Clowning around with the next day’s call sheet, Mike had the whole crew in stitches. He can keep everybody laughing and still have a straight face. 
Info Above, Davy’s holding onto Mike’s wool hat. I’d like to see how he looks in it. 
Info It’s hard to find Peter without some kind of instrument in his hand. Even when the Monkees filmed in the jungle (only an outdoor set) he had his guitar along. 
Info [Above], Davy shows series actor, Monty Landis, some new chords that he just learned. Davy’s learning more each day and he practices all the time. 
Info Davy’s Indian beads are a gas! He’s been wearing them for four weeks straight now. They’re blue and white. 
Info Reading Tiger Beat and Monkee Spectacular is a regular occurrence on the set. The guys get a laugh out of seeing things they told me weeks before end up in print. They really giggle over some of the photos! 
Info Harpo and Genie The Tailor were two of the visitors on the set this month. Davy surprised Harpo by asking him to be on the show! 
Info Peter has been playing photographer lately. He borrows the cameraman’s equipment and has a ball trying out weird angles and capturing funny expressions. 
Info Mike’s fast becoming the man with a thousand faces. 
Info [Above], he is traveling by bike out at the Columbia Ranch, the outdoor sets.
