Today's adventure is a trip to Athens, Georgia and Wuxtry Records, the birthplace of R.E.M. Micky Dolenz just released a new EP of R.E.M. songs. I was at the release, and here is the story. Please subscribe, like and comment. Thanks for watching! #MickyDolenz #REM #AthensGA #WuxtryRecords #HenryDiltz #7aRecords #BrentCash #MichaelGuthrie

Thanks for sharing this with us! My wife is a Micky Dolenz fan and hates we missed this...

I might need to pick up this album. Who am I kidding….it’s Micky Dolenz….I’m definitely buying it!

[@TommyBurton75]

It's awesome. You'll love it.

Hi! Thank you for pisting this video. I used to live in GA and attended concerts in Athens quite frequently in my younger days. I met Mike Mills in the crowd after a Patti Smith show at the 40 Watt Club and got his autograph on the "Life's Rich Pageant" album. Stipe was on stage during the encore, but didn't see him around after the show. I would've loved to been there for the Mickey D. festivities. - Take care!

It was a great day. Glad you checked it out. Thanks!

[@MemphisMusicStories-2023]

Thanks for the heads-up!

[@TommyBurton75]

Indeed!

Hey Tommy, I'm so glad for you that you had such an awesome day!!! It couldn't happen to a nicer fella!!! Take care...

[@TommyBurton75]

Very surreal day. One I won't forget soon. Thanks, Tim! Hope all is well...

[@samstjohn1994]

Such an incredible day. So cool to see that video clip of Micky listing the Monkees writers, yet again, haha. I can tell you're on cloud 9 here.

[@TommyBurton75]

He left out Nez. I almost shouted it...

[@samstjohn1994]

What a jerk

[@jasonnesmith9482]

Thanks for the video! I got to play with Michael Guthrie that day and had the pleasure of remastering Direct Hits and Love Conquers All. As much as I wish Chris Stamey had released Direct Hits on his Car label, Guthrie self released it on the Ear label.

[@TommyBurton75]

Michael was telling me about it. Love those records. You guys were great yesterday. Thanks for stopping by...

Nice show Tommy looks like fun. Did Mickey sing?

[@TommyBurton75]

No singing from Micky. Just a little speech.

[@CriticalDarlings]

Glad you had fun, Tommy! We had a good time up on that roof. What a surreal day, eh?

[@TommyBurton75]

Absolutely surreal. And you guys rocked it. Spinning my cherished Michael Guthrie Band LP as we speak...

[@CriticalDarlings]

Can't go wrong with Direct Hits. Did you get the new album that he released at the end of last year? Several of my favorite MGB songs are on there. Wish it was on vinyl, but I'm glad to have it anywhere. @@TommyBurton75

[@CriticalDarlings]

And, of course, thank you! @@TommyBurton75

Monkees! You can call them goofy, but hey, there's nothing wrong with the Monkees.
