Up, down, over and out--Nelson keeps writing great songs. Born and bred in the Northeast, now in the maelstrom of Seattle's exploding acoustic roots thrash, what goes around is coming around. He claims to be the only folksinger whose picture is on the Woodstock album and whose inventions are in the Smithsonian. Who knew? Still passionate about life, still hooked on American music, still writing great songs that tell stories. Still burning.
