Above: Al snapped these pics at the 1986 Monkees Convention
in Philedelphia! It was a thrill to finally see one of
the Monkees in the flesh, and Peter was the first one
to meet the crowds that wild weekend!

Above images: Peter (with Micky and Davy) invaded
Charlotte, NC in 1996, staging a signing at the local Media
Play store, and meeting tons of fevered fans! See my own
footage of the event here! I was even able to hang
out (and discuss art) with Micky, who was hosting
a showing of his artwork downtown!

Above images: Peter rocks Lewisville, North Carolina, in 1997!
You'll hear how Peter made many more return appearances (sometimes
with partner James Lee Stanley, as a duo) to this intimate
venue, thrilling crowds onstage, and during his after-show
meet-and greet sessions! See footage from the 1997 show here!

Above: Peter was very generous with his time at the Lewisville
gigs, greeting fans and snapping pics, such as this one with Al Bigley!

Above images: Peter holds court during the sound-check at
the Monkees 2016 concert in Charlotte, NC! He engaged the
rapt audience with stories about his early feelings about
rock-and-roll, the banjo, and other topics!

Above: Stick around to the end of this episode to hear a very stirring
rendition of "Long Title: Do I Have To Do This All Over Again," by the
Monkeephiles. That's them above, posing with some unknown hangers-on.
Visit the Monkeephiles here! 

Above: What an unexpected treat! Comics and commercial artist
great Bill Sienkiewicz created this amazing tribute art
to Peter...

Episode #2! A Visual Guide! '86 Monkees! Chaney Jr.! Rose Marie! More!

In our magnificent and minty-new TEXAS PRAIRIE CHICKEN HOME COMPANION episode #2, you'll hear us (boy, will ya! This is a long one, folks!) talk about such topics as the impact of the 1986 Monkees reunion tour, inside facts on the guest-stars of "Monkees in a Ghost Town," and so much more! Glance below to take in some visual goodies, all in support of the hot topics you'll enjoy in episode #2! Click each image to enlarge!

Above: Once "Monkeemania 2.0" hit in 1986, the band received tons of 
coverage on TV, in the news, and in the press, such as this '86 
NATIONAL ENQUIRER clipping!

Above: You'll hear Al talk about how he was (somewhat sheepishly) buying 
mid-70s issues of 16 MAGAZINE, just for any Monkees coverage offered 
by said magazines at the time! Above is one of the first 70s bursts, 
from 1976!

Above: Of course, Lon Chaney, Jr. was spoofing his earlier role 
as "Lenny" (from 1939's famed OF MICE AND MEN) when seen as one of the 
two bad guys in the "Monkees in a Ghost Town" episode! He's flanked above 
by MICE co-star Burgess Meredith, who also has a MONKEES connection, 
appearing (as BATMAN's Penguin) in a 2nd season MONKEES romp!

Above: Of course, the other bad guy from "Ghost Town" was 
portrayed by actor Len Lesser, seen above both in that famed MONKEES 
episode, and as "Uncle Leo," years later, on SEINFELD!

Above: Of course, the real attraction in "Ghost Town" was 
the incomparable actress Rose Marie (as the bombastic "Big Man"),
seen here in a still from that show, with some guy named Mike Nesmith!
