Former Monkee Peter Tork Says He Has Cancer

Fortunately, Tork is doing well:
The 67-year-old Tork had surgery Wednesday in New York. His spokeswoman says he is doing well and will begin radiation treatment after a short recovery period.

He announced on his Web site Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma on the lower region of his tongue. He says it's an uncommon but slow-growing type of cancer, and it hasn't spread beyond the initial site.

I enjoy The Monkees and they gave me great pleasure in the past. I'd mentioned not long ago the walk through our vinyl collection and it turns out Clara has three or four of their albums. It'd be nice to transfer them to digital and have a listen.

I hope for Mr. Tork's good health.
