First Quarter Notes-- 2010
(smile)

16 January 2010:  Kenny Bly played bass with me at the Church of Truth in Pasadena-- a mere 34 years after the last time we played together at the Pasadena Icehouse.  In '74, we opened there for a little known comedian, Jay Leno.  It was great to gig again with Kenny before the musical fires lie down.

To a warm, friendly crowd, we worked my new tune, "That's a Daddy," into our set. We were a hit!  I'd love to take Kenny on the road when the next tour gets lined up. Stay tuned.

CBS' Stacey Butler,( channel 2 in L.A.) interviewed me for 3+ hours last summer. The interview is here:

"The Road Back to Woodstock" shot my performance with the Heroes of Woodstock on Labor Day. Isn't that cool? The film is a TV flick that will also be available on DVD. I'll keep you posted. The photos are here.

I had a great interview with Kevin Modesti of the L.A. Daily News that celebrated Sweetwater and me at Devonshire Downs in the San Fernando Valley in 1969. Modesti's piece ran on the front page, Father's Day, June 21, 2009. How special! My Dad was a journalist long ago he probly smiled from heaven when that happened. Hans Gutknecht's photos are here.

Ang Lee uses my arrangement of "Motherless Child" in Taking Woodstock. You may miss the song because though you hear the music, he never shows the bands playing in his fiction. Still, my name rolls by in the credits. Yay! (smile)

I'm featured in at least 6 of the big Woodstock anniversary books this time. Go to your nearest Barnes and Noble, folks!

Also, Artie Kornfield interviewed me on his Artist First Radio Network show which is online and is now archived, I think.

On August 11, I was on Paul Berenson's show at 3 pm on Progressive Talk 1490, KIST, Santa Barbara. The mp3 is posted here and at NickandPaulShow.com/.

Warner Bros Rhino is releasing a few new CD sets, 40 year Woodstock anniversary products, domestic and international! It’s music that‘s never been heard. Sweetwater’s included with 2 songs I wrote that we performed at Woodstock. At last, Warners admits we were there!

A few months ago, Cherry /Revola Records in England licensed from Warner Bros. the first Sweetwater CD and is re-mastering for a new release any day now. Tiffany Anders is writing liner notes. We are going abroad, friend-buds (smile)

More news! Catch Paul Berenson's new radio show : The Nick and Paul Show, 3-4pm M-F, Progressive Talk 1490, KIST, Santa Barbara.

Thanx for the interview, Rona Elliot. I look forward to your History Channel special! More exciting developments loom. And hey, a fan captured Albert and me with Sweetwater at the Fillmore East years ago. See photo below.  Thanks, Bob!" Stay tuned.

Don’t forget to write me at nancy@nancynevins.com 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 you know.

I spent time with Paul on his radio show in August for the 35^th 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.
