He was shortly offered a slot machine at a normal acoustic display that Loose Diamond jewelry associates Scrappy Jud Newcomb and Troy Campbell, two previous pals in the Chicago House, had been organizing at Un Chino. On the membership, Nelson forged friendships with regional songwriters and music artists such as for example Kris McKay, Jo Carol Pierce, David Halley, and Rick Brotherton.
