He is an excellent guitarist as well as an accomplished songwriter. His songs sound like the rest of us feel. After so many years at the mercy of the high and mighty his characters are anything but defeated. They are dazed, angry, amazed and climbing." - John Gorka > > "Every song bristles with sincerity, spirituality, and a keen insight about real life and real people that makes this the best acoustic singer-songwriter CD you'll probably hear this year" -John Sinkevics , The Grand Rapids Press > > Dusty Road to Beulah Land is a rich and thoughtful book of stories. Drew Nelson has the ability to write with conviction about the struggles of working people, the miner, the farmer, the steel plant worker, just trying to get by. Songs touch on his participation in Native American life and culture (bGrandmother Moon,b bRaindanceb). The production is smart, and Nelson's voice is warm and weathered. His songs move like the river under ice. Drew Nelson is an authentic voice of community and renewal. > Drew grew up in Michigan, but escaped the narrow confines of a small-town upbringing by joining the Navy and traveling the world. He came home with fresh eyes to appreciate the realities of life in America. These experiences provided insight and understanding that find an outlet in songs filled with discovery, revelation, and hope. > > Nelson is now expanding his love of music to the creation of the instruments he plays. He has just finished making his first guitar, and hopes to start a tradition of building and signing one a year to auction off for charity. In addition to giving back to us through his music, Nelson is involved in many community-based efforts to educate the next generation and make our world a better place to live. > > -----Original Message----- From: Vanessa Wills > Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 6:32 AM > To: shindell-list@smoe.org > Subject: Re: [RS] Good old days. > > I miss the list, too.

Hey folks...quick request. When you're responding to a message -- whether Digest or individual messages -- PLEASE edit out the message you're responding to (typically added automatically to the end of your response) except for just enough to make the context of your response clear. For folks on Digest, it means they get extra long messages, and last time we had a spurt in list activity, we had about 25 people leave the list within a week, citing that specific issue. So . . . thanks. RG ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 07:13:11 -0500 From: "Michael & Linda Marmer" Subject: Re: [RS] Good old days.
