Fan Quotes
"You're all lucky to have this man up here." (Tommy Smothers - appearing at Big Top Chautauqua)
"Warren is truly a Man of the Cloth. His canvas shows span the gamut of human emotions that brings one to their knees or soars one to the sky to almost 'touch the face of God' because he has been there." (Richard & Ramona Thearin - Northland Lodge, Hayward, WI)
"Long after the work of others has faded, I'm convinced there will remain this vibrant body of "Big Dang Deals" set in Wisconsin by a unique artist from Washburn. A treasure trove of stage presentations... words and music by Warren Nelson... which generations to come will easily and eagerly tap into. Works steeped in local history, humor, talk and song, perfectly capturing a Wisconsin culture, time and place, reaching beyond the Midwest as well." (Norbert Blei - Door County, WI)
"Warren Nelson has put into song all the things in our hearts that make us proud to be part of the Forest Service. He took the time to understand our culture and the jobs we do. The songs reflect the good work done for forests and the people of the country." (Anne Archie - US Forest Service)
"He is a remarkable talent, evidenced by his record of composing and producing so many marvelous shows, most with historic themes." (Hank Sampson - Stillwater, MN)
"Nelson scoops up odd observations and random thoughts like stray critters that wander onto the train track." (Mary Carole McCauly - Journal Sentinel, Milwaukee, WI)
"I would like to add Warren Nelson's name to our small, select list of Honorary New Christy Minstrels. He has earned it. (Randy Sparks, Founder)
"Warren is one of the finest songwriters I've ever known." (Phoebe LeGere - New York City performer/writer)
