Nelson to peform “Ricky Nelson Remembered” at Lakeside Casino

Gunnar Nelson has a favorite memory of his father that sticks out in his mind.

It was 2 a.m. in in the morning and Gunnar and his twin brother Matthew had finished playing a gig in a Los Angeles nightclub earlier that night. Now, they were in the kitchen with their dad, singer and entertainer Ricky Nelson.

"It was one of those great talks you can only have in the kitchen," Gunnar said during an Osceola Sentinel-Tribune telephone interview Jan. 30.
