GUNNAR AND MATTHEW NELSON KICK OFF THEIR “RICKY NELSON REMEMBERED” TOUR!
Gunnar and Matthew Nelson, stopped by Charlie’s new radio partner studios, Black Card Radio in Burbank, where Charlie’s national syndicated radio show is now recorded and distributed to the U.S., Canada, and internationally!
The Nelson twins are in the Guinness Book of World Records being part of 3 straight generations of a family who had #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 Record Charts. Their grandfather Ozzie Nelson, had a #1 hit in the 30’s as a big band singer, their Dad Rick Nelson, not only had a number one song, but also in the same week that happened, had the #1 TV show, and #1 movie for another Guiness record, and the Nelson twins themselves had a #1 record with their 1990 hit “(Can’t Live Without Your) Love & Affection!
They’re currently getting ready to kick off a year-long national tour in Southern California with a tribute to their dad, “Ricky Nelson Remembered”, as well as their CD “Like Father, Like Sons” where they’ve recorded a dozen of their dad’s hits, as well as the bonus track, “Just Once More”!
“Fans of Matthew and Gunnar, and their dad Rick Nelson, will get chills as the twins literally channel their father’s voice and phrasing in this tribute to their Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame father with a CD full of his hits! The sound similarity of their voices with their dad’s original recordings is striking!” – Charlie Tuna

IF YOU THINK YOU HEAR A LITTLE SADNESS IN MY VOICE THIS WEEKEND, THIS PICTURE IS WHY!
Our family’s little 13 and a half year old Maltese, Bailey, lost his battle with a number of ailments, the latest being pancreatitis, and he passed this past Thursday. Whoever coined the term “man’s best friend”, couldn’t have said it better. This little guy brought such energy, enthusiasm and love to everyone he encountered, I can’t even put into words how devastating it was to lose him.
Sure, he’s just a dog some people will say, but anyone who’s ever had a pet knows that they literally become a family member, and are just as loved and cared for as any person would be.
It’s only been a couple of days, but his absence around the house and that little bark that warned any intruder who entered his territory that he was ready to defend it, is something I’ll miss forever. It’s really incredible the effect a little 10 pound white ball of fur and love can have on your life!
The one question I will always have is why God designed pets to live only an average life span of 15 years or so. I guess He wanted us to just have a a short sneak preview of what heaven must be like, with the unconditional love a pet brings in the seemingly fleeting years they get to spend with you!
Thank You Bailey! I loved every minute you spent with me!

PARIS HILTON’S PITCHING BEER ON TV AND THE AD STIRS UP CONTROVERSY IN BRAZIL!
The land that brought us Carnival, Gisele, the skimpiest of bikinis has a problem with what has to be one of Paris Hilton’s demurest performances in a long time.
Brazil’s Secretariat for Women’s Affairs has objected to a commercial for Devassa beer, starring the heiress, in which she stands in the window of an office building and attracts interested looks from passersby on the street below—as well as a photographer in possession of what must be a zoom lens—as she writhes around holding a can of suds.

WANNA GET A SNEAK PREVIEW OF WHAT HEAVEN LOOKS LIKE? THIS YOUNG LADY PAINTS IT!
Arkiyana was 12 years old when this story first was shown on CNN in 2007. She started painting at age 4. Her Mother is an atheist, so God was never discussed in their home–she really had never been taught anything about Him or the Bible. She has visions and has told her Mom she has visited heaven numerous times. She says God gives her the talent. She has never had an art lesson.
P.S. Her family now believes in God!

CHARLIE WITH MISS NEBRASKA 2008-2009, GRETCHEN BERQUIST. GRETCHEN PRESENTED THE NEBRASKA BROADCASTERS AWARDS TO THE WINNERS AS CHARLIE ANNOUNCED THEM AND BROUGHT THEM TO THE STAGE THIS PAST WEEK IN OMAHA.

CHARLIE WITH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS EXECUTIVE VP, JOHN DAVID!
John is headquartered in Washington D.C., and was my former newsman at KOMA radio in Oklahoma City. He spent the first few minutes of his keynote luncheon address to the Nebraska broadcasters remembering all the crazy stuff and stunts we pulled while just a couple of kids working together in the mid 60’s. One of them I had forgotten about was during one of John’s newscasts, everytime he would pause between sentences, I would open my mike and sniff very audibly at the end of his sentences. As John pointed out, the listeners must have thought he had a terrible cold. He admitted that was the one time he did finally break up on the air.
CHARLIE WITH JOHN MITCHELL AND HIS WIFE MARY, AND CHARLIE’S MOM ON THE FAR RIGHT! JOHN GAVE ME MY FIRST JOB IN RADIO IN MY HOMETOWN OF KEARNEY, NEBRASKA, ON THE STATION HE OWNED, KGFW, WHEN I WAS A 16 YEAR OLD SOPHOMORE IN HIGH SCHOOL. HE BELIEVED IN ME BACK THEN SO MUCH, HE MOVED ME TO THE MORNING SHOW JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I WAS HIRED!
One very special note about my mom, pictured above on the right! She bought me a used 78 rpm record player for $2, which she painted to look like new, when I was just 5 years old. She also got me a bunch of old records to play, since she realized that I wanted to grow up to be on the radio because I loved listening to our local hometown morning radio personality, Jack Lewis. I used to sit in my room playing all that music and pretending I was on the air……you know, I just realized that’s what I still do, only now it’s actually going out on the radio!
CHARLIE WITH NEBRASKA GOVERNOR DAVE HEINEMAN! NEBRASKA HAS THE 2ND LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN THE NATION AND FINANCIALLY IS IN GREAT SHAPE! THEIR STATE CONSTITUTION SAYS THEY CAN’T SPEND WHAT THEY DON’T HAVE….WHAT A CONCEPT!
