It’s a crying shame we don’t play more parks and fairs. I would love to go right to the Chamber of Commerce or whoever they are, so that we could get involved in a different way. – Davy Jones

People ask me if I ever get sick of playing ‘Daydream Believer’ or whatever. But I don’t look at it that way. Do they ask if Tony Bennett is tired of ‘I Left My Heart in San Francisco?’ – Davy Jones
I know a lot of people in the retirement village that I have a house in in Florida that are on the Internet and are reading the paper on the Internet, and they’re communicating on the Internet. – Davy Jones
I’m about to challenge for the Maryland Cup in the next couple of years, as an owner, a trainer, and a rider. – Davy Jones
