Title: Clem "Howdy" Wilson Post by: metal flake paint on November 09, 2009, 02:49:18 AM Recently a guitar pick of Carl's with the words Clem "Howdy" Wilson stamped on it was posted on eBay. Was Clem Carl's nickname in the group and did he have a tendency to greet people by saying, "Howdy"? I seem to recall someone (Brian?) shouting, "No Clem, no!" during Our Favorite Recording Sessions.

If that's right you may have solved one of the many unanswered questions in my mind, so thank you. (I know, I know I totally need to get a life, lol)

(I know, I know I totally need to get a life, lol) Glad to be of service. You don't need to get a life, everyone has a hobby and ours just happens to revolve around Beach Boys minutiae!

In the booklet accompanying the Australian 4 CD release of The Capitol Years, Peter Reum suggests that Brian shouts "No Clem, no!" during the woodshop coda as a reference to Mike Love's nickname.

And I thought the 'No, Clem, no" line was from OFRS right before Mike says "By cracky, you put a little finger poppin' on that, there'll be a million and two sold"
