Well, here's some trivia, you may not have known

There used to be a TV show called The Monkees.
It was based on a Beatles type pop band, that was actually made for the TV show.
They started with the singer and added musicians to form the band.



In the beginning the actual musicians were studio musicians, rather than the TV star band.
Nonetheless, the TV band included Davy Jones (the main vocalist), Peter Tork, Mickey Dolenz and Michael Nesmith.

Now, here's the somewhat unrelated (by one sense of the word) trivia.

Who invented the product 'White - Out' ?

Well, actually, it was originally called 'Mistake Out' and later became 'Liquid Paper'

The answer is Michael Nesmith's mom, Bette Nesmith Graham.

Umm Jim,

It’s the Monkees and it is Michael Nesmith..professor
My apologies to you and their other fans.
Yeah Jim, get with the program. And I thought everyone knew about the White Out Inventor. I'd stick with your usual blogs. You're not to convince anyone here you're hip with the Monkees. laugh
I'm not trying to convince anyone that I know much about the Monkees or ever cared for them.
However, I did not know that the mother of one of them invented 'White Out'.
I had the bigges
In 1967 Jimi Hendrix was the (short lived) opening act for The Monkees.
