Notes About The Poem
How I remembered their look back in 1981 checking-in.
Listen to poem:
1981, In Collaboration With Ricky Nelson
Ricky Nelson, T-shirt, and khaki pants,
Four a.m. check-in, big wigs are my job,
With a grain of salt, 'it's my life I snub,
A chosen degree, and the good lord grants,
He asked what type of room would I give them,
Wife had a t-shirt that dropped to her knees,
"The Bell Tower, our bridal suite, sign please,"
His band doubled-up, as a rule of thumb,
I would learn a year later, they broke up,
At the time, they both were very charming,
And she's sister to actor Mark Harmon,
By the way, that suite was 1k a pop!
Rick and his band would die in a plane crash, (1985)
And his wife of that time died in New Mex. (2018)
