Jeff has a lot of nicknames. I refer to him as the Man or the master, as in the mastermind behind such amazing music. Through YouTube, I've run across a couple more. There's the Lynnemeister and then, there's my least favorite, "Uncle Jeffy" because, it is explained, he's like a favorite uncle you'd want to go visit. Nope. He's like no uncle I've EVER been related to. Here on the message board, we refer to him as Damey. I was told that that is just a nickname for his real name which is much longer. I cannot remember the full name that he was given by this message board. If someone remembers, please let me know.
I was wondering if any of you have a nickname for him or know of others that are used.

I believe Paul McCartney calls him Jet Flynn. Not sure if that’s with or without the ’e’

I'm far too lazy to go and look properly but it's here somewhere about ten years ago. I believe it was bestowed upon him because of the annoying failure of the UK monarchy to give him a well - deserved knight(or dame)hood. Quite right too, and one of the many great ideas of my much-missed ninja twin BSJ.

"Jeff has a lot of nicknames"
he couldn't even stick to a single Wilbury nickname: Otis and Clayton

I particularly enjoyed the one he used whenever the band checked into a new hotel. Under the monicker of ‘Spratley Bagweed’.
They even reference ‘Spratley’s Dancing Academy’ on the sleeve notes on Out of the Blue.

, but we're OK. 
Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
