Ricky Nelson News

Today we send up a big happy birthday to a Taurus rock 'n roll trailblazer, Ricky Nelson.

Let's go on a journey back in time. Let's get on the bus or trolley and head "up town" . It's 1958, hit records of the day include Sheb Wooley's Purple People Eater, Bird Dog by the Everleys and Ricky Nelson's Poor Little Fool and we're trying to look like our pop heroes in new black "drainies", black shirts, white ties and pointed shoes.

Tickets are now on sale for "Ricky Nelson Remembered," a live show celebrating the music of the late Ricky Nelson that plays the Downey Theatre on April 12.

Get ready, Texas. A blast from the past in the form of a nostalgic but lively tribute to one of America's musical greats might be headed your way in March.
