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.

That's interesting, I always wondered who "Clem" was from OFRS. I never would've dreamed it could be Carl. 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)

In one of the er, 'unofficial cd' booklets, they claim that Brian calls out 'Clem!' during the woodshop session....

and wasn't that specific part (woodshop session incl. the -"No, Clem, No !!" remark) used in the fade-out of Do It Again?

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.

Also, doesn't Carl say "Hey howdy howdy", or something like that, on one of those radio Luxembourg segments? 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"
