It's with sadness that I learned that DAVID NELSON, Ricky Nelson's brother, has passed away. I'm linking to the Yahoo News story that has a great picture of the brothers attached to it.
"To his credit and doubtless a big boost to his sanity, David Nelson never seemed to resent the shadows in which he walked." - Reporter David Hinkley
I was in Los Angeles when I first met Rick Nelson because we were both playing on EP Enterprises, Elvis football team, and then I met David, who I also considered to be a friend. He was the shyer of the two.

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.
