Tell us a little about your family.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am the son of the late Reverend and Mrs. C. A. Nelson. My Dad is remembered as the preacher who sang \u201cIt’s Real\u201d at camp meetings and General Conference. I am married to Denise Ammons of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and we have two children, Mindy Gerving and Joey Nelson.<\/p>\n

Describe your spiritual journey.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because my Dad was my pastor, I have always gone to church. There has never been a time in my life that I was not going to church. Events have always been much more important to me than the date of the event. I don’t remember the date of my baptism, but I can tell you that my Dad baptized me on a Sunday morning in very cold water. I received the Holy Ghost on June 6, 1960, but subsequent renewals mean more to me than the initial infilling.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite Scripture in the Bible?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Philippians 3:10-14; \u201cBrethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is your music background?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My parents encouraged me to start playing the saxophone in the fifth-grade band. I do not own my original Conn saxophone, but I still own the saxophone that my parents bought me when I was a sophomore in high school. A few years ago, Denise and our church purchased me a new Dave Guardala saxophone. My saxophone is my worship instrument and I really enjoy playing it.<\/p>\n

What is one of your favorite songs to play? Why is it your favorite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I enjoy playing all of the old hymns. \u201cIt Is No Secret\u201d and \u201cI Am Thine O Lord\u201d are two of my favorites.<\/p>\n

What other talents do you have?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can make people laugh, sometimes!<\/p>\n

What is the best advise you have ever been given?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Live for God and your gift will make room for itself.<\/p>\n

Where can we listen, purchase, and connect with you?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

All of my recorded songs can be purchased on CDBaby. You can purchase a CD through my website Sunday Sax and you can reach me on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Fun Stuff<\/h3>\n

What would you do with a million dollars?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would use it to pay off bills-as far as it would go!<\/p>\n

What time in history would you like to visit for a week?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The week of June 13, 1970; I would like to watch me get married to the gorgeous Denise Ammons.<\/p>\n

East Coast or West Coast?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither; I don’t like the politics on either coast.<\/p>\n

MAC or PC?<\/strong><\/p>\n

PC<\/p>\n

Pen or Pencil?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pen<\/p>\n
