- ^ Bentley, Mary. (2005). [Quoting Nelson Rangell] – "I didn't pick up an instrument until I was about 15...I started to play an instrument, I knew immediately that that's what I wanted to do, 'cause I did very little else after that. I just wanted to immerse myself in it all the time. It was my passion. To be able to find that early on, and know what you want to do, that's a lucky thing. I became very directed in that way after I started playing the flute."
