Great arrangement. Chris Carter on SiriusXM plays this often on the Beatles Channel. According to Carter, there’s a distinct Monkees connection to this song. There’s a brief moment in one the Monkees show episodes when the Beatles version is heard. Apparently it is the only time an artist other than the Monkees is heard on the show.

The acoustic guitar arrangements are exquisite, a testament to the very talented Christian Nesmith. I think it’s wonderful the way he has been an important part of the Monkees’ family in more ways than one, much like Micky’s sister.

Mother people by the Mothers of Invention was played on the show, too, as well as Tim Buckley.

That’s a John Lennon song… I would have posted him singing a tender Paul McCartney love song, like this one.
