 Review - A Little More Luck by Frank Nelson
Next the nomadic Nelsons return to England for 10 more months of hilarious house and pet-sitting with Animal Aunts - plenty long enough to appreciate that when it comes to the British and their animals, it's not just the dogs that are barking.
Frank’s writing is lovely, almost like having a conversation with a friend – it helps that he is so honest on the things that he tells us, and although their luck has no small amount of planning involved, there have been times when all has not gone particularly swimmingly for them.
There is something about Franks writing that strikes me as very English, it is not just the comments about English people abroad and our rather pallid legs appearing in shorts, but he maintains a sense of wonder mixed with a slight cynicism at the foibles of other nations.

 Jazz/Jerry Jazz Musician/Nelson Riddle biographer Peter Levinson interview
Nelson Riddle will forever be linked with the music and recordings of such unforgettable vocalists as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Rosemary Clooney, Linda Ronstadt, and dozens of others.
I think Nelson's great talent was that he could work off a melody and work on using its strengths and highlight the important elements of a song to make it more dynamic and heart-rending.
If Nelson had devoted more time to thinking about what he was going to write for a movie, he could have come up with better material as a composer.

 38 Wn.2d 570, A. A. RAWLINS et al., Appellants, v. W. FRANK NELSON, Respondent
Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for Walla Walla county, Horrigan, J., entered April 21, 1950, in favor of the defendant, notwithstanding the verdict of the jury in favor of the plaintiff, in an action for personal injuries.
Nelson, who was at the farm only at milking time, gave Rawlins no instructions except as to his hours of work.
Another reason why Nelson's employees usually chose that route was that the prevailing winds were from the south, and it was naturally desirable to unload the chopped hay with the wind rather than against it.
