The Woody and Shelley Story Monday 19-Feb-2001 10:53:08 Thanks for the Woody and Shelley story. It warmed the cockles of my whatever. Could we hear more about Woody living in that tree. I too once lived in a tree. Hank Gorval
Studio Gallery Wednesday 14-Feb-2001 22:58:27 Love that new studio gallery. Great work Kenny B. Jethro Bassman
Re: Studio Gallery Thursday 15-Feb-2001 01:56:07 Where is this studio? It seems familiar somehow. Paul B.
Re: Re: Studio Gallery Thursday 15-Feb-2001 13:54:03 The studio Little Brown is located in Mooseneck Northern Ontario and is in the woods on the estate of Lord Willoughby Wette of the Hudson's Bay Company. The reason for its original construction are a mystery. Some say it was originally the estate maple sugar shack others that it was a discrete retreat for Lord Willoughby's indiscrete rendezvouses. Still others insist it was a nursery for all of Lord Willoughby's little indiscretions known as the Play and Learn Nursery School. Regards Brother Ray

crazy relatives and friends Monday 12-Feb-2001 00:31:04 After hearing so much about this infamous website - I finally decided to drag myself to an internet cafe to see it for my own eyes. WOW - I'm speechless and I need a beer (or two) to recover from the shock. What a crazy website...the history of the band brought tears to my eyes. I only have one question - why is my dearest mommy referred to as "wendy?" Meg Burton
Re: crazy relatives and friends Monday 12-Feb-2001 12:59:46 And why is your Dad called Jethro? Teddy Bear
Re: Re: crazy relatives and friends Wednesday 14-Feb-2001 22:55:51 Apparently I have been confused. I spoke to Wendy and found out that her real name is Gertrude Hemmelfarb. But she is known as Betty B. Wet to her friends and relatives. The Wendy came about because I had a bass in my ear at the time. Sorry about that. This should clarify the situation. Brother Ray has been in the sauce again. Aliens! What an far-fetched story. Sorry I gotta go I thought I saw a bright light in my back yard. Love Zaphod Beeblebrox Jethro Bassman
Re: Re: crazy relatives and friends Friday 16-Feb-2001 13:23:06 At a well in Midian Moses meets the daughters of Jethro and he helps them water their flocks. Jethro invites Moses to live with him and Moses marries one of his daughters Zipporah (Exodus 2:18-22). While tending Jethro's flocks Moses comes on a burning bush from which God speaks to him commanding him to return and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt (Exodus 3:1-4:23). Moses returns but at an inn on the way God tries to kill him because Moses has not circumcised his son. Zipporah performs the ritual saving Moses (Exodus 4:24-26). Brother Ray
Re: crazy relatives and friends Monday 12-Feb-2001 14:47:44 Greetings from the other side of the world! I am glad to see that the big bowtie in the sky (otherwise known as cyberspace) can bring us together. It is easy to explain why your mother is called Wendy. Jethro was at one time abducted by illegal aliens and taken behind the Iron Curtain where he was brainwashed into believing he was Peter Pan. It seems likely that this was done in order to find out if Jethro could fly. Unfortunately the end result was that Jethro wandered around looking for Wendy. This frustrated your mother so much that she abducted herself behind the Iron Curtain and had herself brainwashed into believing that she was Wendy. This would have worked but Jethro would not believe her so she had him brainwashed into believing that she was Wendy. Unfortunately this brainwashing washed away the initial brainwashing so that Jethro no longer believed he was Peter Pan but was wondering how he ended up with Peter Pan's Wendy as his main squeeze. Your mother of course now believed she was Wendy and that Jethro was Peter Pan. Jethro knew that there was only one thing he could do and that was to head behind the Iron Curtain and have himself brainwashed into thinking he was Peter Pan. This pleased the illegal aliens because they still wanted to see if Jethro could fly. Unfortunately this last bout of brainwashing washed away the previous one and Jethro returned thinking he was Peter Pan but not that your mother was Wendy. This was quite similar to the situation we started with but with your mother still thinking she was Wendy. Hope this clears things up for you! Best wishes Brother Ray Brother Ray
Re: Re: crazy relatives and friends Wednesday 14-Feb-2001 02:38:04 What?! I was able to follow you up to the word "the" but then you lost me. To quote an immortal sage: "Screw you guys. I'm going home." Paul (a.k.a. Scotty) p.s. How come Brother Ray is so yappy on this website but come every Bluesfest he's as quiet as a bug in a rug. Paul B.
Re: Re: Re: crazy relatives and friends Wednesday 14-Feb-2001 12:16:08 Now there's a question that really deserves an answer! Brother Ray
The Willie and Shirley Story Thursday 8-Feb-2001 15:09:35 Thanks for the Willie and Shirley story! It is nice to see some romantic content on your web site! Keep up the good work! Gloria
Re: The Willie and Shirley Story Friday 9-Feb-2001 19:42:25 I can't tell you how much I was moved by the Shirley and Willie Story so I won't. But you idiots have finally done SOMETHING right! Hank Gorval
Re: The Willie and Shirley Story Saturday 10-Feb-2001 00:58:53 NOW I get it! Yes we want more! The Crow 7
Nice Site Wednesday 7-Feb-2001 01:30:24 I thought I'd finally check out the official Wetband website. I got tired of going to those 'unofficial' Wetband sites with naked pictures of Kenny. The site's pretty good so far. I like the history of the group and its members and I like the fact that you have a message board. A website needs a place where people can argue with each other about stupid little things. By the way I think it's spelled "Willee". The only negative thing I can think of is the picture you chose of me. First off I'm over to the side...you can hardly see me! And my shirt's ugly! And I'm not really playing...I'm posing for the camera! I'm going to have to do a better pose for the camera in the upcoming b-fest. Lastly I've decided on an alias for myself. Scotty's too close to the name of that engineer guy on Star Trek. I've decided on Paul as in Paul McCartney or Paul Schaeffer (both accomplished keyboardists). Sorry for the lengthy message and see you in 18 days Paul B. Joel Scotty
Re: Nice Site Wednesday 7-Feb-2001 22:20:36 Well Paul first I'm surprised you made REPEAT visits to those unauthorised 'sites' featuring apparently me without my Maple Leafs Sweater on. As for the gallery picture we caught you in action as usual: ugly shirt posing for the camera not really playing off to the side. It's a reality shot OK? What more could you want? Kenny B.
Re: Re: Nice Site Thursday 8-Feb-2001 16:02:30 Of course what I really mean is you fit right in with the rest of us! Looking forward to playing with you again Scot- er I mean Paul. See you at the Fest! KennyB
Neil P. Ludwig Tuesday 6-Feb-2001 23:47:51 Just wanted to say that after initial listening to the masters from the Practfest 2001 Neil's drumming is superb....I thought so at the time but this is borne out on the tapes....great stuff Neil! Official tape to be released soon! Cheers! And thanks for having Practfest! Kenny B. Wet

Steve Earle Rules! Friday 2-Feb-2001 01:03:54 Steve Earle was fantastic man! You oughta have heard his encore(s). Time Has Come Today (Chanbers Bros.) She's A Woman (Beatles) and Dead Flowers (you know who) plus more. Fantastic! And the rest of the show was amazing. Willie was right. Seeing him do 'When I Fall' with Stacey was worth the price of admission alone. He even did a couple of Kenny's songs. I'm in to getting the band back together now. I is inspired. He played for 2 1/2 hours. Just an all round great show! Just ask Willie. Jethro
Re: Steve Earle Rules! Friday 2-Feb-2001 01:18:16 That's great Jethro! Glad you saw him. Willie will tell you when I saw him at Calgary Folk Festival not FIVE feet away from me....sorry Willie just couldn't help myself... nice of you to say he did a few of my songs Jethro something tells me he 'improved upon them' just a wee bit! KennyB
For the love of squirrels Wednesday 31-Jan-2001 22:19:24 I would like to dispel the libelous rumour circulating the net that I want to slow down the squirrels. I say all power to the squirrels and full speed ahead. I feed the squirrels in my backyard and I love to watch them run and gambol through the snow. Whoever started that nasty rumour please desist. Long live the squirrels! Jethro Bassman
Re: For the love of squirrels Wednesday 31-Jan-2001 22:29:08 Jethro Squirrelman I have to say that I try to feed the Birds - and although most squirrels are not a problem and do not need slowing down there is one SmartSquirrel that definitely does...I'm in awe of your song as recorded (several times) at the last T-Fest (so i hear) 'Slow Down This Squirrel'... in awe I tell you... Captain Squirrel
Rare Photos Uncovered Wednesday 31-Jan-2001 22:10:03 I have uncovered two rare photos to share with you. I will get them on the site soon. First there is a picture of Willie from his motel touring days. Second is a picture of me from my little-known short-lived disastorous stand-up comedian days (also at a motel)during my years of hitch-hiking around the world. I also have lots of photos of Blues Festivals Pracfests a recent Maritime Tour (with Willie) Wendy and I in London any many more which can be shared if there is ever a gallery created where these may hang. May you be forever Wet. Jethro Bassman
We're on to yous guys! Wednesday 31-Jan-2001 03:26:59 Hey Jethro! I can see right through your sunglasses. It's you isn't it! I know it is! And we're on to Willie too! You can't fool us with that name change! We're gonna get you and your little dog too! You'll get 20+ years for what you've done! Dudley Do-Right and The Mounties Dudley Do-Right
Re: We're on to yous guys! Wednesday 31-Jan-2001 22:00:56 I admit it. My name is Jethro. And the picture of me with sunglasses on is really a picture of sunglasses with me hidden behind them. Other then that I admit nothing except for good-looking women in my front door. Jethro Bassman
Re: Re: We're on to yous guys! Thursday 1-Feb-2001 01:43:44 Crap. Due to an accident involving your case files and a can of kerosene it turns out all the charges against yous guys were dropped 6 years ago...except one: Willie owes a fine of $1 058.63 for possession of Labatt 50 outside of Quebec. And I was so looking forward to locking you two trouble-makers up for good... Dudley Do-Right sans The Mounties p.s. I'm a huge fan of Woody and Kenny. Any chance I could get their autographs? Dudley Do-Right
Missing Link In Kenny's Story Tuesday 30-Jan-2001 01:15:42 I am interested to note that my bio doesn't seem to include my seminal role in the mid-70's Guelph area rock band IceScraper. Oh well I changed my name since then and I certainly don't need anyone from those days tracking me down over legal issues. Besides our one-time manager Nick Ford has left the country anyway after absconding with all the uh profits. Ha! He's probably still listening to his 8-track. Still if I hadn't hitched a ride with him in that white VW Beetle on a cold winter's night on the way to Hamilton there would never have been an IceScraper...think of it. Anyway I'm just Kenny now. Kenny B.
Important Note About Garsold Rathskeller Tuesday 30-Jan-2001 01:01:38 Yes the original Garsold Rathskeller was located above a tire shop in Guelph. I should know I was living there at the time and recommended it to the famous club managers. One of it's distinguishing features was the 'painted woman' adorning the interior of the bathtub. Which happened to have been painted by Apt. #6's previous inhabitants my sister-in-law (although she wasn't when she painted it and she isn't now but she was for a while). Woody especially may remember that it was located at # 21 Gordon Street. An address surpassed only by 221B (well actually maybe also by 33 1/2 another later Garsold Rathskeller address). Anyway also of importance I think is the now long-gone but famous signage that was affixed to the tire shop below: "RECAPPING TIRES TUBES" ... boy does it ever!!! Cheers Kenny B. Kenny B.
Re: Important Note About Garsold Rathskeller Tuesday 30-Jan-2001 22:33:38 Don't forget the "e" on the end of Garsolde. It is considerably more important than the end of Willy. Ray Brother
Re: Re: Important Note About Garsold Rathskeller Wednesday 31-Jan-2001 10:54:04 Ray you are entirely right. Well put. I stand sheepishly corrected. I couldn't agree more. I am getting careless in my old age...plus the brittle bones of my fingers don't type as well as they used.... Kenny B.
Practice makes imperfect or almost perfect or? Monday 29-Jan-2001 14:19:06 Hi y'all Grate jack webb sight! Yup I done been practicing hard (I haven't been practicing spelling or grammer). Now what was I practicing I can't remember? Oh yeah shucks I done practiced on the drums three times this week until my pore ole arms was sore and rubbery! Last night I also practiced drinking and my pore old head is sore today! Neil P Ludwig
Willie's Back Monday 29-Jan-2001 11:07:07 Just got back from a tour of the west couch and I MUST SAY this has gone far enough. I was NOT kidnapped. I've been busy returning my empties to the beer store. I now have enough room in the kitchen to reach the fridge. To Judge Judy to would just like to say - Judy Judy Judy. A rose by any other name is still a smelly flower. Even the great one himself - Willie of the Farm-Aid spells this name thusly. Get used to it! Love the gallery photos Woodie (aside: what kennie he mean by that?). Farewell and keep your stick on the ice. Willy - I mean - Willie B.  
Re: Willie's Back Monday 29-Jan-2001 15:37:07 Welcome back Willie! On the other hand you're spelling my name wrong. You always stood out from the rest of us (well except for Count Bassman) because your name was slightly different. And now you want to go lumping us all in this 'ie' category....I myself am definitely in the 'Y' category. 'ie' on Wood and Kenn IS sissy - whereas 'ie' on Will is fine and individual. There. I think I've straightened this all out. I've sent you a personal note explaining what the Woodster meant by that caption in the Gallery. Keep your stick on the ice and your duct-tape to yourself! And keep on practising. See you at the Pracfest. Kenny B.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER Sunday 28-Jan-2001 13:16:43 The Witch Hunt Survival Project has been disassociated from this website at the request of Mr. Jethro Bassman and his legal guardians who believe that it was a slander upon his Aunt Gloria (no relation). Mr Bassman was unavailable for comment as he has left for Woody Island in a last ditch desperate attempt to rescue his Aunt Gloria (no relation) from the foul clutches of the Reality TV Moguls. Ray Brother

Retro Gallery Saturday 27-Jan-2001 00:42:55 Bravo! on the Retro Gallery. Once again here's to all the Ladies all the fellas in our lives. Kenny B
Re: Retro Gallery Saturday 27-Jan-2001 23:19:16 I love the new gallery. The retro and greats gallery are both fantastic. Good work wet master. Without sounding too negative it's good to say goodbye to all that Survivor junk. It looks like Woody has taken over the editing from that suspicious Brother Ray character. Good work Woody! We now have a site worthy of our great band. Let's get some music samples next. I am now reading Dave Bidini's 'Tropic of Hockey'. He does a great comparison of defencemen to bass players. We set the rhytymn and tone while the centres and other forwards get the glory and the good-looking women. Bass players rule! Jethro
Free Willy Movement Wednesday 24-Jan-2001 18:06:39 If the Free Willy Movement is trying to raise funds to send him back to Russia maybe they should have 'Gulag Aid'. P.S. Keep up the great work on the Gallery Of The Greats! Kenny B.
Dangerous Legal Precedent Monday 22-Jan-2001 14:18:09 Now listen up you jokers and listen good. To allow Willy to change his name to Willie sets up a dangerous legal precedent whereby and forthwith the remaining members of said band would be constrained to change their names to the following sissy appellations: Woodie Kennie and Jethrie. Is that what you want? No? Then stop this nonsense and get on with the music forthwith. Yours in all legal egressions Judge Judy Judge Judy
Re: Dangerous Legal Precedent Monday 22-Jan-2001 16:05:18 Now YOU listen Judie: first have you EVER seen the following spelling anywhere?:'Willy Nelson'.Or for that matter 'Willy Nilly'. Ok second Willie's name has always been spelled like that (on all the publications posters and albums that I've seen) until this site opened up just recentlie. Willie is not changing his name this site has arbitrarilie changed his name for him. And THAT's a dangerous legal precedent. Do you hear me Judieeeee??? Do you? Plus if you were (or possiblie are) male this spelling might be slang for anatomical references like say 'Peter'...or 'Pieter' or whatever...Judging is dangerous Judie. Annoyied
Re: Re: Dangerous Legal Precedent Monday 22-Jan-2001 22:33:50 How IGNORANT are you? Let me count the ways: 1. Willie Nelson is not anyone's authority on names or legal precedents. Have you seen his ponytail? 2. Consult any dictionary on the planet and you will find "willy nilly" and NEVER "willie nillie". 3. The appearance of a misspelling on any number of non-legal documents does not stand up in a court of law. 4. Since you are of a prurient nature consult any dictionary of modern slang such as Bloomsbury's and find: willie: penis A schoolchildren's word which is used usually coyly or facetiously by adults. Under "willy" you will find NOTHING. GET OVER YOURSELF!! Judge Judy
Re: Re: Re: Dangerous Legal Precedent Monday 22-Jan-2001 23:28:43 Well gee you seem awfully sensitive - or is it righteous - about the matter of a fictitious name as it may be represented in a fictional scenario. Especially when it seems the subject himself has clearly indicated his preference for the spelling of his own name. For a 'judge' you do an awful lot of name-calling speaking about school children tendencies. Oh well have fun Judie. Hope you really earned your position of power. Though I doubt it. Annoyied
Re: Dangerous Legal Precedent Tuesday 23-Jan-2001 12:03:12 Judie is a moron. Go get her Willie. Jethro
Message from the Webmaster Sunday 21-Jan-2001 22:20:22 Visitors who dare to stroll down to the bottom of the Wetband Homepage will note that we now have a mirror site set up (http://wet2) where one may find a site not unlike if not totally identical to this one. Anyone with some webspace to donate can now host their own Wetband website absolutely free! Nominations for the Gallery of Greats will be gratefully accepted. Please include a scanned mug shot of the proposed inductee. Regards The Webmaster  
Re: Message from the Webmaster Wednesday 31-Jan-2001 23:01:29 So is it a parallel universe? Home of the DryBand? Elspott
Re: Re: Message from the Webmaster Thursday 1-Feb-2001 08:52:43 That's right the Home Of The DRYband a parallel universe where they move up in rank by assassination... The DRY Woody better watch himself over there...I wonder if the Parallel Woody doesn't have a beard...and Ernie's patch is probably on the other eye. Crow7
Re: Re: Re: Message from the Webmaster Friday 2-Feb-2001 01:09:39 And maybe I can play bass in that universe. Jethro
By The Way Sunday 21-Jan-2001 00:32:53 Just a minor thing: it was 'DER Garsolde Rathskeller'..... Kenny B?
Gallery Of The Greats Sunday 21-Jan-2001 00:21:35 Hey I think the Gallery is a great idea.... how about Gareth Hudson?... and Rain One? another great drummer and producer...and Ian D.12-String? Keep it going.... Cheers Kenny B? Kenny B.
Re: Gallery Of The Greats Sunday 21-Jan-2001 15:59:53 Yes all the people that you mention I had to rearrange their faces and give them all another name but they will appear in the course of time! Brother Ray
Re: Gallery Of The Greats Tuesday 23-Jan-2001 11:59:14 The Gallery is great! Jethro
Yo Willie here Saturday 20-Jan-2001 22:11:05 Hi there folks. Willie here just back from an extended motel tour out west. Sorry I missed all the excitement. Jees you'd think after all these years and being brothers and all you guys would know how to spell my name. That dude Mr. Assman apparently is the only one. And Ray my brother keep mouth shut. You had no call telling everyone about the girl guide outfit. Anyway gotta go. I'm meeting a couple of newfies and we're off on a west coast motel tour. See you when I get back. WillIE. Willie B
Re: Yo Willie here Sunday 21-Jan-2001 23:46:10 I guess it figures that a guy who was on the road for twenty years has even forgotten how to spell his own name! Brother Ray
Wetband Chronology Thursday 18-Jan-2001 13:46:16 I was trying to put together a Wet family chronology. If Willie left on his motel tour from Alberta before Kenny was born and was STILL on that tour when Kenny was playing clubs in Ontario that suggests to me that Willie must have been on that motel tour for about TWENTY YEARS?????????? Wetfan
Re: Wetband Chronology Thursday 18-Jan-2001 22:33:52 Yeah that sounds about right. Jethro
Willy - The Missing Years Re: Wetband Chronology Friday 19-Jan-2001 12:40:40 The Moosejaw office thought it best to keep Willy on the road so that he wouldn't come back and puch their lights out. What happened to Willy during those twenty years? Only Willy and motel managers from coast to coast know the truth. But a lot of great stories come gushing out of Willy's songs like fine draught beer. Brother Ray
Re: Willy - The Missing Years Re: Wetband Chronology Wednesday 31-Jan-2001 22:52:04 It seems to me that time is not linear in WetLand. Elspott
Re: Re: Willy - The Missing Years Re: Wetband Chronology Friday 2-Feb-2001 01:12:15 Shouldn't that say Willie (sic) the Missing Ear. Jethro
Walls Monday 15-Jan-2001 22:45:16 Who's this WB who is credited with writing Tom Petty's great song - Walls? Did you guys really write any of your material? Or are you just frauds? A Tom Petty Fan
Re: Walls Wednesday 17-Jan-2001 02:20:24 Arrrrrrrrrrrr. I agree the Wetband are a bunch of lying thieving blackguards. Fraud is too good a word to use for their detestable and despicable musical practices. Tom Pretty though I do not know the man should sue the backsides off these musical morons. Long John Silver
Kenny is my hero! Friday 12-Jan-2001 23:15:14 We need more pictures of Kenny. And why not some of his songs. I love Kenny. He is the greatest. A Kenny B. fan forever. Wet for Kenny
Re: Kenny is my hero! Monday 15-Jan-2001 15:01:13 Don't forget Jethro! He's also worth wetting your pants over. Brother Ray
Re: Re: Kenny is my hero! Saturday 20-Jan-2001 02:09:58 True enough Brother Ray. I agree entirely Jethro is great! Jethro is THE MAN!!!!! Also Ray (not mentioning any names) at least Jethro and I CAN wet our pants! KennyB
Autobiography Thursday 11-Jan-2001 17:09:42 Hey my autobiography is real. Has Joe Dummer lied to you before? I forgot to add that the name of my second group (with no instruments) was 'The Black Plague'. Could the Wet Master add this? Thanks fans. Jethro Bassman Jethro Bassman
Surprise Party for Ernie Thursday 11-Jan-2001 14:37:25 A big surprise party will be held for barkeep Ernie Huckleberry at the Golden Nugget Saloon on the evening of Friday January 12 2001 starting at 10pm. Don't tell Ernie! Lots of his weird friends will be there Frankie
Re: Surprise Party for Ernie Thursday 11-Jan-2001 17:16:40 Who's Ernie? I've never met him. Jethro
Re: Re: Surprise Party for Ernie Friday 12-Jan-2001 01:27:19 Ernie is the barkeep at the Golden Nugget who accidently tripped and hit his eye on a doorknob in the dark basement while showing the new barmaid Seven some of the particulars. He is currently missing from the hospital but is expected to show up at his surprise party at 10 pm on Friday night along with many of his so-called friends.  
Re: Surprise Party for Ernie Friday 12-Jan-2001 17:45:32 Kenny and I will be unable to attend the surprise party as we are attending a different gig in Orangeville. TTFN Sheila B
Jethro Besmirches Family Name Wednesday 10-Jan-2001 13:54:05 Dear Jethro he was always such a sweet little boy. Why oh why has he grown up and disowned us his own family? What have we ever done to him. Jethro come home to the embrace of your kin! Yours Truly Gloria Assman Aunt Gloria
Re: Jethro Besmirches Family Name Thursday 11-Jan-2001 00:17:44 I am no Assman. I am a breast man. Who the hell is Gloria? Jethro Bassman
Brother Ray's Distorted History Tuesday 9-Jan-2001 23:03:17 Brother Ray's had too many beers again. Contrary to his story I never knew any of the Wet family until that fateful day that they picked me up by the side of the road hitchhiking. Where I was going and where I was coming from has always remained a secret know only by me and my long time companion Wendy B. Wet. So take whatever history you read from Brother Ray with a block of salt. Thanks fans. Jethro Jethro Bassman
Re: Brother Ray's Distorted History Tuesday 9-Jan-2001 23:48:52 Deny deny deny. There is no doubt now that Jethro thinks he is still on the run from the authorities in Newfoundland. It is time for Willy to speak up and tell his side of the story and not be the fall guy for Jethro Bassman. Ray Brother
Re: Re: Brother Ray's Distorted History Wednesday 10-Jan-2001 01:04:02 I think it's time for Willie's name to be spelled right.  
Re: Re: Re: Brother Ray's Distorted History Wednesday 10-Jan-2001 13:58:43 Willy is the male form of the nickname for William or Willoughby. Just as most Bobby boys don't like Bobbie so most Willies don't like Willie which is short for Willomena or Willodelphia. Unless of course...no we won't go there though Willy was once seen wearing a Girl Guide uniform! Ray Brother
Wet and Confused Tuesday 9-Jan-2001 22:46:30 I love your new Wet page. I am a long-time fan of the band and I think it's great that you guys finally got what you deserve. But I am confused. I have all your albums but they used to always call you 'The Wet Band' and then I saw 'Wetband' start to appear. And now your site says 'Wetband' too. What's wrong with 'The Wet Band'? It has a regal connotation to it. 'Wetband' sounds like a new brand of disposable diapers. And another thing isn't Willy's name really Willie? Just look at Wet Boogie in G. It says Willie. You guys are confusing me. Can we get some Kenny songs on the site. He's my hero. Love you guys. Long-time Wet Fan
Re: Wet and Confused Tuesday 9-Jan-2001 23:45:01 As the Wet Band has grown closer together and tighter as a band it was only natural that their name would do the same thing. Regards Brother Ray Band Historian and Mouthpiece Ray Brother
Re: Re: Wet and Confused Tuesday 9-Jan-2001 23:51:08 I think Brother Ray is getting tighter too. A Wet Observer
Wetband Oasis Monday 8-Jan-2001 01:17:43 As a long-time Wetband fan who has been at every show of theirs since 1973 but one I have always considered them and their music to be a sanctuary from pomposity sanctimoniousness and arrogance. This site is refreshng in that it follows in the same mold. Keep it up dudes! Harth Gudson
Date with Jethro Wednesday 3-Jan-2001 13:15:34 That Jethro is a great looking dude. How can I meet him? Why does he hang around with those other ugly specimens?  
Re: Date with Jethro Thursday 4-Jan-2001 01:21:12 You can sure spot a lady's man when you see one! Getting hold of Jethro is like trying to nail a glob of mercury to a telephone pole. Jethro is out and about every night it seems going here and there. You can reach him by dialing 967-1111 and asking for a delivery from the guy who drives the red truck. IF Jethro didn't hang around with those other ugly specimens there would be no way for you to see what a handsome raffish fellow he is. Ray Brother
