"...is even better now than when they opened the historical Woodstock Festival. Nancy Nevins has too much soul to be white. Like Billie, Nancy sings from vast and probably painful experience with a voice much richer now than in earlier recordings"

July 2008

Hi Friends,

Surprise! Sweetwater with Hugh Hefner on Playboy After Dark ! a popular tv show in its day (Hugh looks young, doesn't he?)

Hey ! See the new photos taken by Iren Watt at the Coffee Gallery. She's so cool she sent a bunch my way. I hope you like ‘em.

I've been doing a lot of writing and teaching-summer school. I've been spending a lot of time these days on the back of a Road King motorcycle with my personal road king. He does my depression a world of good, too, believe me. So I'm a biker chick- yay!

Been getting a lot of authors' requests for contributing my memoirs of Woodstock and I'm enjoying sharing them. Watch for a flood of books next year on the occasion of Woodstock's 40th. Later, I'll let you know who I think gets to the truth about Woodstock (wink).

In 2009, the 40 year anniversary of Woodstock will happen and I am still here! If you know anyone looking for a cool show from a legendary cult figure, I'm your "Huckleberry" as my friend, Joe Graves used to say. And if you're a book publisher, get in touch. I have something for you!

You know, I still get email from all over the world about the 1999 VH1 movie, Sweetwater a True Rock Story, because it airs sometimes somewhere or someone buys it. The writer always loves the music-Sweetwater music. I still get asked, so if you want Sweetwater music, go to Collector's Choice:

Don't forget to see my youtube video at www.myspace.com/Nancy Nevins where you can also be my friend, which I will love and appreciate.

Finally there's a different P.O.Box number now. See the updated info on the left.

Be good to yourself and I hope I see you on the Road soon! Yours in song, peace, and love,

Nancy

Don’t forget to write me at nancynevins@verizon.net if you feel like it, and if you’re new to my site, please read on to catch up on my good, talented, long-time friend, Paul Berenson, and how all this got started. . . .

Paul's a good friend and he is one well-informed music afficionado. Believe it. There's little Paul doesn't know about classical or pop music. Just ask him (smile) Sometimes, you can call him on air at KIST and KCSB, you know.

I spent time with Paul on his radio show in August for the 35th anniversary of Woodstock. You can see some photos of me at the radio station. (It was awfully early and I buzzed up to the station from L.A. at 4 am. I dressed funky, since it's radio-- so-- whatever. Don't judge my scruffy look too hard.)

Paul and I met a hundred years ago, through Chris Huston, Sweetwater's second record producer. Thanks to the Internet we re-connected and Paul offered to help me with a website. He loves Sweetwater and is a serious believer in my music and my writing. Man, how I appreciate that.

“500,000 people heard them at Woodstock. No one heard from them again.” this collection, which the band itself helped compile from their three Reprise albums... features three unreleased sides. Think a jazzier Jefferson Airplane…that’s the tasty material that awaits you here, and all of it’s been out of print for decades.
