A letter from Abi's parents
From: Sarah
Date: 17 Nov 2003

Comments
Today I received a letter from Abi's parents wanting me to let
everyone know how touching her on-line friends' well-wishes were to them.
Everyone's messages were very appreciated. They are of course, still in
shock but they are finding comfort in Abi's friends and reminiscing about
the good times. Thank you, everyone.

Sarah, My heart goes out to her family and friends. I think when
you tune into a board as much as one does here you really can get a sense of
what a person is like. Although this was only a small slice of her life I
like to think that I knew her a little. For those her really knew her my
heart aches for you. She seemed witty,intellegent, and gracious. I only wish
I had met her, she would be the person I would be proud to call my friend.

I was very sorry to hear of Abi's passing...it was a great shock!!!
I traded many times with her & enjoyed her mixes & artwork!!! As for a
tribute...wouldn't it be nice if all of her posts were unarchived &
professionally bound, including pictures she drew & give this to her parents
& brother? I know they are hurting now...in the future they will look at
that & be glad they have a rememberance of all she did & meant here!!! Any
Feedback? Robert

Hello everyone. I am planning on doing a tribute to/for Abi & her
family & friends. All suggestions can be sent to (of course)
mailto:abi@themonkees.com . I am so sad that she is gone, it's just
terrible. I've asked her family what we can do for her. She was one of the
main strengths of this board. You could Always depend on her great wit &
intelligence to liven the place up. Phil

Hmm...I'll have to give this some thought because it deserves to be
something really great. I'm thinking that her family might enjoy hearing
some of our favorite Abi stories...things she said or did to help us or make
us laugh. A lot of us will have something to share. We can compile our
stories along with a few touching words and send them to her family. I
really don't want to make them burst into tears. I'd like to see if we can
bring smiles to their faces. Hopefully, they'll find comfort in the fact
that Abi touched so many of our hearts.

I have a pic called Monkees Friendships she made from 2001. I also
remember a 4th of July one and a Christmas one, but I can't find
them...perhaps they were on line? I also have the flip book that we sent
around, do you remember filling it out Sean, Doo, Lor, and Christy? In it
she wrote, "Friends are people who trust each other. People who forgive in a
blink of an eye. People who do things for one another. People who are YOU!"
What a trip though, going through my letters from Abi. What a sweet soul she
was. Especially touching was a letter to me from her hospital days over two
years ago. She was praising life and was so happy to get out of that
horrible experience. So sad it couldn't last. My favorite is her last words
in the flip book. She wrote to me, "If we are siamese twins, where are we
joined?" Oh Abi, I'll miss you so much!!!

Sean said she had a Piglet pin for me, because she knew I liked Piglet
stuff. I found some cards last night from her. Teresa, I would appreciate it
if your would email me any pics you have that she drew. I could print these
out if Phil needs me to or whatever I can do to help.

Abi's funeral was today. According to her friend, Lisa, they played
a song by The Damned, one of Abi's favorite groups, as people came in. They
played Daydream Believer in the middle, and a Big Country song, another
favorite group of hers, at the end. Some of our posts were read aloud at the
service. I really wish I could have gone. I'll miss you Abi :(

EMI in talks with Time Warner

Comments
Okay maybes not the most interesting thing to read but EMI is in
very early talks with Warner to buy out their music buisness....... So what?
you may ask well Warner own Rhino as part of their music bits...... Of
course it might just mean the music side of things of bands going today, and
of course it might just fade away. But it would be interesting to know what
would happen to Rhino if another company got hold of them and how it would
effect us as Monkees fans.

Well the whole issue of Universal dropping their wholesale price
down and lowering their standard CD price closer to $9.99 and also knocking
off their point-of -purchase promos (which is where the big money is for
retail stores) is gonna change the way music is bought and sold. It's just
the next step towards killing off the rest of the small and independent cool
record shops and small chains. Everyone in the business keeps talking that
in 5 years CDs will be no more, we'll all be downloading SINGLES..death to
the album..Sure it's paranoia, but a lot of retail stores are starting to
feel the heat and it doesnt look pleasant. I find it interesting they'll
trying to tell me I would rather have a compressed sounding file format then
a real tangible CD with great sound quality, liner notes and cover art. Just
when Sony's trying to sell SACD's to everyone , which cool 5.1 mixes, along
with 24 bit stereo mixes to boot, the industry is saying no one wants that,
they want a shitty mp3 with copying restictions and spyware file format
downloaded to their freaking Ipod. Forget albums...So where those The
Monkees stand in all of this? EMI wants Warner so, they can compete with
Universals new plans. They dont want to sell to retail CDs that cost to
produce. They want you to pay for each song in their catalog and they want
to tell you how and when you can play it. They want to kill used CD sales ,
hell they want to kill CDs altogether. So for The Monkees and every other
music fan out there..it's a different industry being built with new rules
right now. Expect to be paying more for a lot less. Chris

Point 1:The Monkees didn't split in 2001 they went on as Davy and
Micky until 2002 when they just fizzeled out as is the norm. Point 2 Peter
decided to leave well before September arrived so that had nothing to do
with anything. Point 3 The 2kees respected the backing bands wishes not to
fly after Sept 11 until 2002 when they came over to Britain. Point 4: All
the Monkees have quit formally at one point Micky did it in 1989 so doesn't
really consider himself the head honcho Monkee....

Not sure how many of you listen to the nationally syndicated radio

Actually he did go under that name for a fair bit it being his, but
he wasn't well known his early stuff didn't sell. Then when the Monkees got
huge he had to change it. It has to be the best thing to happen for him as
he's massive still now nad Davy Jones isn't.

Well not quite but....... Never Mind The Buzzcocks had Hewey on and
in the intros round the team he was on had Last Train to perform and his
impression of Davy was something to behold believe me. The tamborine mime
was good enough but when he did the Davy dance..... shock of the performance
is Dick Valentine [Electric Six], to whom it was being performed to, &
extreamly well mostly they are pants, claims never to have heard of The
Monkees..... Has he been living under a rock? If doped up Hewey knows of
them and the Davy dance surely Dick should too! Thought I had to share cause

I read the message on AMM and I am truly sorry for your loss. My
condelences to all of you and Abi's family. z Do not stand at my grave and
weep; I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am
the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the
gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift
uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that
shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not
die.

ill so I keep E-mailing her to keep her spirts up even if she couldn't

The Disney Channel in the UK and their Disney + no doubt are to
start up showing The Monkees again after the summer holidays when kids are
less likely to watch them. They are running episodes on Saturday and Sunday
at 7.30am & 11pm [+ will be an hour after I believe, this is how it works I
think.] They have been listed thus in both TV & Satelitte Week & Radio
Times. [I'm sure they have 11pm but it oculd br 11.30pm whatever it's still
kind of late!] They are a must see due to the Too Many Girls eppi having a
different print to what we've normally had in recent years and also for the
Peculiar version of Frodis!

Hello, I have been looking through the posts people have been

of them & am going to print them out to show my Mam & Dad. They already know
- as do I - how well liked (& loved) she was by you all but, reading the
posts will be a great help. I've been trying to email many of her online
friends from a big list I found in her room, but our Abi's writing is a bit
hard to read & a few of the emails are coming back to me as undelivered.
Sorry if you are one of them. Before I go I'd just like to thank you all for
being such a big & invaluable part of our Abi's life. She loved you all so
much. I would love to hear from anyone who would like to talk, my email is;
cheryl.iain@ntlworld.com I may take a while to answer as we are all very
busy trying to tie up our Abi's affairs & such. Thanks again & lots of love-

My favorite Abi memory

Comments
Since things are kinda slow here today I thought I would share my
favorite Abi memory and I hope some of the rest of you will do the same! One
summer Abi and I did a trade of Monkees things... I had sent her a Pool It
promo poster so she sent me Davy's mutant Monkees book. It turns out there
was a pic of me on the fans page! How cool was it that Abi, my Monkee-twin
sending me something so special like that!! My second favorite memory has to
be when we all went on voice chat and I got to hear how her British accent
sounded...also how funny Doo's and 86's southern accents were!! LOL Good
times!!! : ) Anyone else care to share?

Sarah, I remember that voice chat well, however, I don't recall
Doo's and my Southern accents being funny <cough> Just kidding ;) That chat
would have to be one of my favorite memories too because she said "Helloooooo
Christy!"...lol. I sent her a box full...FULL...of American stuff like
Hershey's chocolate and she specifically requested Southern-related items...lol.
She hated the Hershey's chocolate, but loved the Southern stuff...lol. I
could always be really weird with her and she always came back to the chats
the next day...lol. Could I "lol" any more?? She sent me all kinds of
Cadbury's chocolate which totally ruled. She always sent the coolest stuff
for my birthday and Christmas. I will always cherish my Clanger :)

I know I haven't been here in forever. I was one of the first to
find out yesterday of her passing, and I have to say that besides the fact
that I am in utter shock, I am also very upset. I was rather close with Abi,
and she had to have been one of my closest "online" friends. It went beyond
that in lots of ways, and I didn't look at her like that. She was Abi was
England...my buddy across the ocean. Sarah informed me moments after she
found out, and I was and have been pretty much in hysterics over it. It just
doesn't seem right, or that it was her time to go. She will be missed more
than she or anyone could ever realize on my end. She was my sarcastic
British "trollop" whom I loved and adored so much. I just wish I was able to
have spoken more to her the week she got ill...it all happened too
suddenly....

It's Wednesday now and I'm still in shock. It kind of hit me about
an hour after Christy called me and I cried my eyes out. I have so many
regrets. I regret that I let my life get so busy lately that I haven't had
time to talk to my closest online friends like Abi, Christy, Sarah, and
Sean. I regret that I never got around to sending Abi her Christmas present
last year. I'd got her some glitter make up and orange eye shadow. I regret
that I put things off until they are too late. I regret that I never told
Abi what a great person she was and what a difference she made in my life. I
regret that we never got together and saved up to send Abi a plane ticket to
come to the US as some of us had talked about in the past. I would have
loved to have met her in person. She always remembered me at Christmas and
my birthday and even helped me lose a ton of weight recently. This is my
first time online since I heard the news and frankly, I've been avoiding
coming to the board because I knew it would be upsetting. I just read all
the wonderful posts about Abi and am sitting here crying again. She was a
wonderful person and will be greatly missed. It's still so unreal. Manda

'Manda, she knew what was going on in your life so don't feel any
regrets. I wish we could have gotten her here too...she would have loved New
Orleans. Her sense of humor (she would correct me and say it was humour) is
what I will miss most. She was one of a kind and will be greatly missed.
It's obvious she contributed a great deal to this board by the length of
this thread. I asked her friend, Lisa, if we could put a picture of Abi up
as a memorial, but she didn't think Abi would like that too much. For those
of us who knew her well, that was our Abi! :) She would probably call me a
bint for even suggesting it...lol. Her parents are holding up as best as
they can. She was a generous, kind person and it hurts to think she is gone.

Peter & James NEW Live Album
From: Barry
Date: 28 Sep 2003
Time: 22:10:20 -0700
Comments
Hi all, I checked Peter Tork's website and found this bit of
information: "Updated September 23, 2003: THIS JUST IN ...Peter will be
joining forces with James Lee Stanley to perform as Two Man Band in Alta
Dena, CA in November. Word is that it's for a future "live" album ..." I
wonder what this live album will contain. Perhaps a best of "Two Man Band"
and "Once Again"? I hope this is not the case. "Once Again" barely got any
promotion as Peter became involved with the Monkees again during its release
than this was followed by heavy involvement with Shoe Suede Blues. From what
I recall Peter and James played a few dates promoting "Once Again" but not
many. In my opinon they should tour to promote this album and not worry
about another one. I'm hoping that they release the solo sets of each
individual. James did this a few years ago with "Freelance Human Being" but
I'd love to see him do it again and include Peter's set as a second CD.
Finally with regards to the live element of the album, didn't PT and JLS go
into record "Two Man Band" initially because they didn't trust the sound
systems in venues? I'd assuem James could provide a studio to record the
album in so why go live? If a CD is released I hope it is as enjoyable as
their last two releases. Any thoughts anyone? Barry

sound like, the ones I have sound fine but surely this will have better
production and won't end up like the live SSB stuff which sound a little

Ah, Electric Six...they are amusing. How can one resist a song with
the chorus, "I wanna take you to a gay bar, gay bar!" And the Thrills, they
are pleasant...and have made a few Monkee references, if I'm not mistaken.

Okay bought this last week it's regions 2 & 4 PAL 2003 Universal

What no commentary round table w/ Nez , Alex Cox, and others? I got
the tin can license plate edition w/ the sound track CD and booklet. The
commentary is full of Nez and more entertaining then the movie, although
it's my fave Nez movie and has a cool soundtrack.

So all this hoo hah over Rubberneckin' did it kind of fall flat
like it did here in the UK when released? It only made #5 which isn't that
great considering the hype it was given. Makes me smile though as I love the
guy and have said as much many times.......... Mind you it's not saying much
for taste over here considering what HAS been at #1 the past 5 weeks.....
I'm sure it's a cover...... So what has this got to do with The Monkees? Ask
Mr Tork about his inspiration there is a link tenous yes...... Oh and
concerning Bewitched Charlies Angels [Columbia product] had Robert Freddy
Englund in it the other day.......

ONLY # 5!?? The guy has been dead for 26 years and the song is 10
years older than that! I'd say #5 is remarkable! Personally, I don't think
the song is as good as the last one and they butchered it with the song
production and hokey video. 'Let Yourself Go' would have been a much better
song choice. The new CD copllection 'Second to None' comes out today (I
think). Let's just hope RCA/BMG doesn't burn E out.

It's been far too long since I have posted here. Scanning through
the posts I have seen posts that I don't know what has happened. I don't
want to come across sounding insensitive or ignorant. I read little bits of
some of the posts by people I knew and I am looking to find out more so I
don't offend anyone. I will be more specific if others will be patient
enough and kind enough to bear with me. I will continue to post more in the
future. Thank you. Greg

Monday Oct 27. It was a complete shock for everyone. She had been sick for a
while, but no one knew it was that serious.

Yeah, I had noticed the posts and when I did visit here quite often
just a few years ago I always noticed posts by Abi. I was shocked and
surprised that she had passed away. I still can't believe it. Again, sincere
sympathies are sent out to her family and friends who knew her better than I
did (e.g. reading her posts here on the Monkees Discussion board). Greg

You Just May Be The One

Comments
I was watching the Monkees doing the early version of this
song......Does anyone prefer it over the HQ version? To me it sounds too
"produced" and too perfect (even with that annoying mistake in the bass part
during the end of the bridge). Perhaps knowing that the HQ version is all
four of them lends weight to the exhuberance of the particular performance.
Anyone have any comments about this or any other "Monkees Produced" versions
of songs vs the earlier orginals?
From:
Freddd

And does it matter that the earlier version is titled And You May
Just Be The One in the episode? Apparantly it does as the song is
copywritten under both monikers.

It bothers me when the first version speeds up in at the bridge.
The Headquarters version is better for that alone - and it is a warmer
recording (I agree the first version is cold). One thing that bothers me
about Headquarters songs is Davy's out of sync tam-boring. It is horrible in
No Time, as if he gets tired of playing fast and changes speed constantly -
it ruins the song for me (it's all I can hear when I listen to it - I wish I
could tune it out, but it too over the top of the recording). Chip should
have tracked Davy's part as an overdub, then Davy could have given a better
performance. I guess some purest like the live feel of the Headquarters
tracks. I would have prefered a more perfectionist approach - but that
arguement takes me away from the fact I like the second version of YJMBTO
better. Six on one, half a dozen on the other.
