micky sings mike

sounds like a backdoor attempt, belatedly, to get in with the alt.country scene. but if he can bring something new to nesmith's songs, let him have at it, i say. either way, it should be an interesting disc.

Interesting concept. I wonder if Different Drum gets in there. Nice song by the Stone Poneys. Now here's probably a dumb question. Nesmith is known by some as Nez but is the correct pronunciation of his name Nez Smith, or Nay Smith as some announcers say down here in NZ

quoting (from memory, more likely paraphrasing) dizzy gillespie, at the west virginia jazz fest many years ago:

"it doesn't matter what they call you [he was subbing for another act], just be called."

the consensus in north america at least is most likely "nez" though, i'd suspect.
