p.s. For those who didn't know, Peter Tork gave guitar lessons here in Croton pre-his Monkees fame...on Mt. Airy Road and other village spots.

--And finally from POP CULTURE SAFARI,  THE MONKEES CHRISTMAS PARTY--Featuring Newly Recorded Versions Of Classic Christmas Songs--Along With New Songs Written For The Band By Peter Buck And Scott McCaughey, Rivers Cuomo, Andy Partridge, And Album Producer Adam Schlesinger. 

On CHRISTMAS PARTY, The Monkees put their unmistakable vocal stamp on a wide array of classic Christmas tracks, from the R&B holiday standard “Merry Christmas, Baby,” to Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” and Wizzard’s yuletide classic “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day.”

  1. Actually, Peter taught guitar to Croton kids in the living room of my Parents' house on Penfield Ave in Harmon.
