The Official History of Instant Dogma
(Woodrose, snakes & ladders, Freak Music,
Punk Rock Treehouse and everything else.)
2004
January 7 Monkees Night The idea was to do an all Monkees night at Wormtown Weds. There had been a series of shows, at The Lucky Dog, called the Green Street Music Series. They featured local luminaries backed by a house band. Artists showcased were The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and hits of the sixties and seventies. I decided to do the same with WW. We put together a backing band (Mr. Natural and The Selections) consisting of, Pete Zolli -bass, backing vocal, Greg Sullivan – drums, Keith Prescott – percussion, Deb Beaudry – backing vocal, Geof Blake – rehearsal vocalist, Dave Menard – keyboards, sax and Roger LaVallee – guitar, theramin. I played guitar and sang. We asked a bunch of local folks to sign up for a song. Some were no brainers, like Scott Ricuitti doing I'm a Believer. The Monkees set would last about an hour and a half and then various other bands would do some Monkees covers. We even dragged our tympani down to the show to accompany James Keyes performing Randi Scouse Git. It was a splendid time and for me the last major high point for Wormtown Wednesday.
