Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. David Nelson is an American guitarist and musician. Although he started his musical career playing folk and bluegrass music Nelson is probably best known as one of the original members of psychedelic country rock band the New Riders of the Purple Sage. After playing lead guitar with the New Riders from the late sixties until the early 1980s, Nelson left the band to pursue other musical opportunities which included a stint on Broadway as a member of the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band and some time touring with Al Rapone and the Zydeco Express. In the mid 1990s, Nelson formed his own group, the critically acclaimed David Nelson Band, whose original members included Bill Laymon on bass, Barry Sless on lead and pedal steel guitar, Michael "Mookie" Siegel on keyboards and accordion, and Arthur Steinhorn on drums. Later on, drumming duties were shared by Charlie Crane, Greg Anton and Jimmy Sanchez
