the frequently asked questions ABOUT US: Do y'all work for Reckless Kelly? Nope. We aren't officially affiliated with the band. We don't make any money from this site in any way. If you want Official RK Info, check out their website. If you want unofficial RK info, give us a shout. So, um... why do you do it if there's no money in it? It's fun. The site lets us meet some really swell fans, and also artistically express our admittedly dorky addiction to Reckless Kelly, et al. Plus we like being helpful, and people tell us that they like what DA provides. Are you The Reckless Kelly Fan Club? Do you really think RK is the fan-club type of band? We don't. RK fans are mostly loose, laidback folks that don't really seem to need a membership card and an autographed 8x10 and a sticker for their Trapper Keeper. Still, if by "RK fan club," you mean a more organized sort of arrangement, I guess we are it for the present. If you want to meet other fans, get info on events, blah blah, first you should check out the RK message boards, then get on the RK mailing list, and then you should get on our mailing list (we share scoop that the band's website sometimes won't). Can I link to your site? By all means! How do I get to be a Desolation Angel contributor? Check out our guidelines here. How do I find y'all at a concert? Gregg and Randy both have photos on their pages so you can see what they look like; Tracy and Anne are working on it. Tracy and/or Gregg are always near the stage, and almost always taking pictures. Despite Willy Braun's claim that there are tons of Tracys out there, Tracy is sure that there are not, so just shout for her and she'll answer. Where does the name "Desolation Angel" come from? From a new RK song called "Desolation Angels," which was inspired by a Jack Kerouac poem. ABOUT THE BOYS: Does Willy have a girlfriend? Please don't ever really ask this question out loud. It makes you look like a groupie. Aren't y'all groupies? Rent the movie "Almost Famous" for your answer. Seriously, does Willy have a girlfriend? Heaps and piles of them all over the world: they are called the Hillbilly Harem. No, but seriously -- if Willy has a main squeeze, we don't know about her. Cody does have a serious girlfriend, and we all adore her, so hands off. Ditto for David, who is married. Jay and Jimmy are single, best we can tell. If you really need to know, walk on up and ask yourself. Why is there a screaming girl on that guitar? The image is actually on the pickguard, and the image is from a photo of an audience member at a Beatles concert. Willy customized the pickguard himself - isn't he handy? What's that scary monkey thing on the stage? That's Lester. He's not scary, he's cute. He travels with the band, and once got stolen (but the kidnappers turned out to be the band Blind Luck, and their front man ended up a Motorcar, so it's all cool). Lester came back safe and sound. Does Jay always wear overalls? No. Why does RK sing that one Cross Canadian Ragweed song? If you mean "Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah," that was written by Willy Braun, thankyouverymuch. "Crazy Eddie" is an RK original, and it's the new favorite cover for anybody with a guitar -- much like "Road Goes On Forever" was a staple back when Pat Green and Cory Morrow and Owen Temple and Roger Creager were still playing frat parties and the Back Forty. get home
