Last week, Peter Tork began radiation treatment, as follow-up to his recent surgery for the removal of a cancer on his tongue. 
We asked everyone to take a minute on
Monday, June 8th, at 6:00am Pacific Standard Time
to hold him in your thoughts, say a prayer, light a cancle, and/or play a song from any of his collective music library -
from "The Monkees",
his solo CD "Stranger Things Have Happened"
his Two-Man Band CD's w/James Lee Stanley,
or any of his current band "Shoe Suede Blues" CD's.
We'll be playing music from his complete music library all day, every week, in our office.
As always, thank you in advance, for your support.
-Sandy Jacobson-

A message from Peter Tork, 
posted with permission from his publicist
Therra Gwyn, GwynCo Arts
regarding his recent surgery:
"Weekend Update "
(but not like the ones on SNL, unfortunately)
Saturday, March 14, 2009
My post-op recovery is coming along about as well as could be hoped for. I could wish for one of those metabolisms I see on the sci-fi movies, where wounds heal up as we watch. Short of that, however, I am doing very well. I have an appointment with my surgeon next week, and I expect to hear the bad news about the course of radiation necessary. I am harboring some faint hope that it will be milder than what they were telling me about radiation plan I'd have faced if it was the primary treatment for the cancer. I'll be faced with the reality soon enough. Meantime, I couldn't be more heartened by your response. So many of the people I have met are rallying to my side, and I'm really, really, amazed and almost overwhelmed with gratitude."
Peter

"I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends" Share
Friday, March 20, 2009

I'd be remiss if I didn't note that a particular gang of people
and a particular set of principles have been responsible for my life and for whatever good attitude as I've been able to keep up, even tho' I can't name them outright.

In many ways the principles are universal and available to all, in other ways they are particular, and to name them would be to put the spotlight where it isn't a good idea for me
or them. I just want it known that without my being able to get
outside myself and without my growing to understand that the narrow ego can't handle life on its own, I'd have been a dead man long ago, or worse, a living, bubbling pile of protoplasm face down in a gutter somewhere. Meanwhile, the help I have gotten seems to be available upon request, and I urge everyone to realize: there's help, and there are NO MEDALS for maintaining under stress and by yourself. I repeat:
NO MEDALS!!

Thank you to all who have helped and continue to help in big and small ways in this world.

Love,
Peter
