"Alan
R" (real name: Alan Rafferty) Alan is
Gerry's cousin. I think his mom sang him Gerry
tunes as lullabies. Alas, Gerry never wrote a
song about Alan.

"UncleJim"
(real name: Jim Rafferty)
see
another couple photos at the bottom of the
page...Jim is Gerry's brother and co-author
of several Gerry tunes, like "Don't Speak of
My Heart". He's recorded several albums
himself. Jim has a razor wit and seems to want to
talk about anything other than Gerry. Don't
psychoanalyze him -- he's a good egg.

"Captain
Compulsive" (real name: Rodney Walther) A Texas
boy, the Captain is the author of this unofficial
GR website. He's also an avid softball/baseball
coach. He thinks soccer is for sissies. The
Captain owns his own Oracle consulting firm.

"Zain"
(real name: Zain Habib) Zain
occasionally is allowed brief visits outside his
sanitarium so he can contribute his brand of
zaininess to the board. He also writes and draws
a comic strip called Zainy's World.

"Michael F" (real name:
Michael Field) A more recent poster, not
much is known about this Gerry Rafferty fan. A
crack investigative force is on the case. We do
know Michael F is an artist.

"jDobson" (real name:
Leslie Wilson) jDobson is a member of The
Tannahill Weavers and an accomplished musician.
He posts when he can, but he's on tour a lot.
While on tour, jDob plays with his bouzouki (a
lot).

can finally be revealed.

"carey
w" The fair Carey is a huge Gerry fan
and graphic artist by profession. Check out her
unofficial GR website (it looks cool). Our
investigative team snapped this partial picture
of Carey moments before she attacked our
undercover van.

"Neil-A"
(real name: Neil Aspinall) Neil's one
of the old-timers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Lonesome
Polecat" (real name: David Taylor) LP plays
devil's advocate and likes to stir things up. He
and Carey seem to have some sort of cosmic
trans-continental relationship.

"GRTourist"
(real name: Morgan Staggers) Another
Texan, GRT is a (gasp!) UT Longhorn. Well, the
women call him a shorthorn, but that's another
story.

"johnbee"
(real name: John Burke) Our
resident King of the Lyrics, johnbee knows his GR
songs forwards and backwards.

in the States. Rob pops in when he gets a chance.

"Dazy"
(real name: Debbie) Dazy says
she's the oldest poster on the message boards.
But hey, I know better than to guess a woman's
age!

"Nightowl"
(real name: Jim Oksen) The Ox-man
is the lyric quoter. Feeling down? Nightowl will
pick you up by quoting the appropriate Gerry
song.

"PoorMansSon"
(real name: Wray Ellis) Following
tradition, Wray, our resident Canadian,
contributes his knowledge of music. Don't knock
Wray -- he had a #1 hit single ("Dance For
Me") in New Zealand in 1986 (really!). He is
the only known man to escape the evil clutches of
the Zainy One. ~~~ Don't you love the Mickey
Mouse ears?
|

|
|
"MikeT"
(real name: Mike Trushell) Yet another
Mike! It seems Gerry's fans are limited to mostly
Mikes and Jims... MikeT is originally from
England, but lived in NZ for 12 years. I wonder
if he heard Wray's song? Mike's working on the
big Five-Oh.

"Cheese"
(real name: Colby Parmesan) This guy is
definitely extra-sharp. One of our resident Swiss
posters, Cheese has also lived in Provo-lone,
Utah. He has a brother in California, known as
Monterey Jack. In addition to his passion for
Gerry Rafferty, Cheese is also a big TV fan. He
watches "Everybody Loves Raymond",
starring Ray Romano. And of course, he enjoys the
classic "The Muensters" on reruns.

"Clem"
(real name: Clemens Ziegler) Clem is one
of the "heavy philosophy" posters. He
once met Gerry Rafferty at the "Examining
One's Own Navel" conference in Austria. And,
obviously, he needs a haircut.
