Beginning in high school Nelson worked as a disc jockey for local radio stations. Nelson had short DJ stints with KHBR in Hillsborro, Texas, and later with KBOP in Pleasanton, Texas, while singing locally in honky tonk bars. Nelson graduated from Abbott High School in 1951. He joined the Air Force the same year but was discharged after nine months due to back problems. He then studied agriculture, at Baylor University for one year in 1954. In 1956, Nelson moved to Vancouver, Washington, to begin a musical career, recording "Lumberjack," which was written by Leon Payne. The single sold fairly well, but did not establish a career.

I have actually learned a lot of new info that I didn't know about him. I really like this singer. He is really good. I got to met him on Springfield Square. His bus was broken down. And when I drove by I saw him and pulled in and said hey. I got a picture with him and got to talk to him for about 5 minutes. He is a awesome guy to hang out with. He is really funny. he has a very pretty bus with horses on a hill against the sunset. I will never forget that moment that i got to meet him.
