Best known now as a dear friend of the artist Arshile Gorky and a profound influence on the composer Alan Hovhaness, Yenovk Der Hergopian was an artist and transmitter of old Armenian and Kurdish bardic songs who made memory and immediacy his life's work. He and his collaborator released only 16 powerful performances in the 40s (with the support of Hovhaness and friends).

One critic called him “a cross between Freddy Mercury and Roy Orbison.” Most people know Micky as an actor, director, producer, radio DJ, writer, and singer on most of The Monkees’s hits, but he’s also an inventor and furniture maker. It’s been my honor and privliege (and sometimes learning experience) to work and hang out with Micky and to be part of the 2011 Monkees reunion tour of the UK and US. HB and God bless Micky. Here we are doing my #1 favorite Monkees track:
