Robianna's Story

Well, actually, I have several meetings. The first occured around 1976. TWO of the Monkee's, Davey and Mickey were singing with Boyce and Hart. Boyce and Hart had a couple of hits in the 60's two, so the four joined up to complete the Monkee's. They did a concert and my college, DeAnza. In Northern Cal. It was a fun concert and aftewards I met and spoke lengthly with Davey and Mickey. I was raised in England, in a small villiage called Hatch End. Davey had been there several times. It's the next villiage over from Pinner where Elton John grew up. Anywho, apart from being slightly older looking they were sweet and funny and very nice. A couple years later, I was working in my parents Antiques business in Saratoga Cal. My parents were bigtime wholesalers with warehouses in San Fran, San Jose and Orange. Well, the Dolenzs' became good customers. I was working one day in the smaller Saratoga shop and in walk Mr. and Mrs. D. What a suprise for me. For I remember quite well, every week when the Monkee's would come on my Telly and the opening theme song would end, "you better get ready, we may be coming to your town..." and I would wistfully say, "Hatch End? Impossible!" Little did I know that I would be living in the states and they would INDEED be coming to my town, and my business !!!!! Whoyeah ! I loved Mickey but you will forgive me if I say that my all time favorite Monkee was Michael, Or the NEZ !!! I still adore him and his music. Well, that's it for me. Thank you for letting me share my story.
