Happy Birthday Davy and Mike

Two Colgems alumni share December 30 as a birthday, and they are two of the biggest stars that were on the label.

Davy Jones and Michael Nesmith--one half of the Monkees--were each born on this day. Davy was born December 30, 1945 in Manchester, England, while Papa Nez was born December 30, 1942 in Houston, Texas.

Through an incredible stroke of luck and talent, both wound up as members of the Monkees, along with Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork.

So, here's a toast to Davy and Mike--good luck on your birthday, and may you have many, many more!
