Have to admit I never saw that one.
Mickey Dolenz (then known as Mickey Braddock) was a little boy who worked for the circus.
It wasn't bad, and the acting experience probably helped him get the Monkee job.
In the Monkees , Davey Jones and Mickey Dolenz, being from an acting rather than a music background, didn't mind that studio musicians played the instruments on the records, because to them it was just a show. Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork though, being professional musicians, raised a stink.
