MAY 8 - RICK NELSON HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! - THE NELSON TWINS

Rick Nelson was born May 8, 1940. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK!

I met Rick Nelson in Los Angeles through Elvis. He and I played on EP Enterprises, Elvis' football team in pick up games at Valley College and public parks. I have only good things to say about Rick, who came across as rather shy at first, but played to win. He was raised on his parent's television show "Ozzie and Harriet," and had grown up in the business and turned into a teen heartbreaker ! Friends of mine were always trying to find good songs to get over to Rick and his people.

Some of my generation of musical artists, have children who've followed in their footsteps into the music business. Rick Nelson's sons, who go by "The Nelsons," are two of them.
