Beginning in May of 1999 and continuing through the Summer of 2005, I prepared and printed 12 newsletters called Nelson's Notes. They were mailed to around 100 had signed up at my concerts. I also had copies to hand out during my concerts. These newsletters began during a short period of time that David was on a sabbatical from performing. He was still doing a lot of picking though and came to many of my solo shows (we would practice afterwards).
Nelson's Notes included my performance schedule (as it was available when I printed them); some articles that I wrote concerning what had happened, or was happening, in my life; quotes that I liked and/or encouraged me to do better; funny stories and jokes; uplifting stories; and a variety of other items I found interesting. I may see about putting these past issues in a pdf form and making available on our web site sometime.
I had another issue in the works in 2006 when my computer crashed and I lost it. I started again on a laptop and had a little less finished when it was also lost. I also lost most of the addresses of those I had been sending this to. Since I was already working quite a bit on our website and other outlets, I put this newsletter to the side. I may resurrect it at some point, but will likely do it in an electronic version when I do. Until then, I will work on this blog, our website, our MySpace account, and other sites we are using.
The one thing that I do regret from that last planned issue of Nelson's Notes was that David had written an article for it. It was about something that had happened to him several years ago. I have kept his story with the plan to still produce the newsletter. At this time though, it does not appear that I will be printing another one anytime soon. So I want to share David's article with you here.

David had sent this to me with the suggestion of calling the section 'Buck's Box'. After reading through the story, and remembering it, I decided to call it 'Buck's Bits', and maybe that title will make more sense to you after you read the story.
For those who had received Nelson's Notes and had so often encouraged me in that endeavor, I thank you for you support and comments. For those that came in after that time, I look forward to getting to know you better. I hope you will all check back often to keep updated with us.

Thank,
Nelson
