"It's unbelievable to think we've
been coming to EPCOT and the Flower Power series for over five years now,"
enthuses Gunnar Nelson. "It's incredible fun and we look forward to connecting
with our friends and fans each year in Florida."
Matthew Nelson agrees, "With three
shows a night, we get to really have fun mixing up the hits for the fans.
Plus, we love performing our Pop's music, like 'Garden Party' because it
makes us feel closer to him, and the theme park guests really enjoy it."
When Matthew and Gunnar, the twin
grandsons of TV's Ozzie & Harriet Nelson, scored the #1 billboard hit,
"Love and Affection", it landed the Nelson family in the Guinness Book
of World Records as the only family in entertainment with 3 successive
generations of #1 music hits.
VH1 recently ranked "Love and Affection"
among the "100 Greatest Songs of the 90s".
