  2. Lovely. Of course I know of Ricky Nelson ... as a kid when I'd get introduced the oldies would always sing his famous song "well hello Mary-Lou"

    1. My early years listening to the radio were kind of between his big years.

  3. I liked his music.

    Movies:

    Hellmington (2018) - slow going, but it was good

    Clara (2018) - a little sad, but good

    Curvature (2017) - slow going, and a disappointment in the end. I like time travel movies, but this one failed to have a plausible, tie it all together, resolution.

  4. I remember when he died. He was too young to go. This is a very young Ricky Nelson, isn't it?

    1. yes, he was just 45 :( I'm not sure when this video is from, but my guess would be in the early 60s? maybe.

  6. I grew up watching The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. Had a crush on Ricky like so many girls my age but I don't remember much about the actual episodes other than Ricky sang in a band when he was in high school. His songs were on the radio, too.

  8. I remember him from Rio Bravo, but mainly from his music. He left us way too young.

  10. Wow. I have heard of him, but didn't even know he died. Such great talent was lost far too soon.
