Gunnar Nelson (rock musician) & Garry Cobb (former NFL player & Philadelphia sportscaster)

A neat show today, starting with Gunnar Nelson of the rock band Nelson. Gunnar & his twin Matthew broke on the scene in 1990 with their "After The Rain" album (which came out during my DJ days at "The All-New, All-Hit B-103" in State College, PA). Their first single "(Can't Live Without Your) Love & Affection" went to #1. Other singles included the title track, "More Than Ever" and "Only Time Will Tell."Nelson is at the Sellersville Theatre this Friday 7/16 (6pm & 9pm) for "Ricky Nelson Remembered Starring Matthew & Gunnar Nelson" (info at st94.com). Ricky was their dad who had two #1 songs (Poor Little Fool in 1958 and Travelin' Man in 1961) and another 16 Top 10 songs. Nelson's grandparents were none other than Ozzie & Harriet Nelson of "The Ozzie & Harriet Show" which started on the radio in 1944 and added TV to the mix in 1952. It remains the longest-running live action sitcom in U.S. history by number of episodes aired. Ozzie Nelson was a bandleader and had a #1 hit entitled "And Then Some" in 1935. That #1, along with Ricky's two #1 songs and Nelson's #1 make them the only family to have a #1 song in each of three consecutive generations.Former NFL player & longtime Philadelphia broadcaster Garry "G" Cobb also checks in to talk Eagles football just ahead of training camp and to share thoughts about & life lessons learned from his father Jesse aka "Pops" who passed away recently. Whenever Garry joins the show, he always shares not only good football & sports knowledge but also insight and encouragement pertaining to family, character, and faith in God--all usually with a humorous tone woven throughout. We're glad for Garry's friendship and willingness to hop on the air periodically. You can check him out at www.gcobb.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
