John Carl Kuehne ( 6 February 1942 - 12 February 2000 ), better known as '''John London''', was an American Musician and Songwriter , and was involved in several Hollywood Television and Movie productions. He was most notably associated with both the band The Monkees , and their 1960s television series. A friend of Michael Nesmith 's from Texas , who had played with him (mostly Bass Guitar ) in several working bands, he accompanied Nesmith and then-wife Phyllis Barbour to California , to try their luck in the Los Angeles -area music scene. When Nesmith was cast in ''The Monkees'', he recruited London as his stand-in on the set, and when the originally-fictitious band began playing on their own recordings, London sometimes served as bassist, allowing Peter Tork to play Keyboards , Banjo , or another instrument. London also co-wrote "Don't Call On Me" with Nesmith, which was featured on '' Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, & Jones, Ltd. '' and a second-season TV episode, and appeared in bit parts on the show. Years after the Monkees, London served as Key Grip on several different productions, including '' 48 Hrs. '', '' Who Will Love My Children? '', '' The Karate Kid '', '' Long Time Gone '', and '' Hudson Hawk ''. He died in Rockport , Texas, during 2000. |
