 Roy Nelson...Known as The Doctor, this old Woodstocker may be 'reelin in the years' but
still has enough gray matter to bring the old classics back to life on his keys and guitar. As a product of the 60s and 70s, his main musical influences include: Crosby Stills Nash, Jethro
Tull, Led Zep, Hendrix, Sly Stone, Yes, Steely Dan, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and other immortals. Also known for his cribbage prowless, he will normally introduce himself as, "Nelson's my name,
cribbage is my game."
Instruments:
The Doctor's main solid wood guitars are a Taylor 314ce six string and a 1972 Guild D-112
twelve string. His keyboard is manufactured by Ensoniq and played through a Roland amp. Stop in any music store and you find The Doctor in a corner dreaming about his next purchase with all of
the top brand name guitars and keyboards - just in case his lottery ticket scores.
Favorite Icehole song:
"You can't beat four-part harmony, listening or performing. That's why my favorite Ice Hole songs are 7 Bridges Road by the Eagles and the blue grass version of Fat Bottom Girls by Queen."
