   About The Willys
The Willys hail from South Central Pennsylvania where most folks come as tourists to take in a famous Civil War battlefield and search for ghosts. But if you look a little closer you will find under the veneer of a tourist town a most prolific little rock and roll band that has opened for national acts and have written four full length discs (that play to England, Russia, Africa, Iceland, Sweden, Australia and Japan). They continue to be the most booked band in the area. The Willys are a real band in the sense that no one member is a front man. Jumping around on tables is not their style. They consistenly serve up 3 part harmonies and fabulous guitar work on top of one of the hotest rhythm sections around. If you like satelite radio you will enjoy the Willys eclectic list of cover songs. We invite you to try out our own compositions by listening to what's newly posted here or checking out previous recordings at www.cdbaby.com and searching for Willys recordings. Thanks for getting the Willys!

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

Actually, I'm Bill's nephew in law (Bill's Brother's step-son), so any resemblance is coincidental. I do live in Philadelphia, but I will probably be up in Shippensburg visiting. Maybe I could sit in at one of your gigs or something. That would be cool. I've got a lot of exciting stuff going on right now that's going to take my music to a whole new level. Anyway, thanks for the add, and I'll hopefully see you at some point in the future.

peace,
nate rylan
