Harry 'Dastardly Nilsson' Nilsson and t' Case o' t' Missin' Magic Flute
In early August o' 1983, t' Associated Press[1] reported that a recordin' session for One-Eyed Yoko Ono's Every Man Has a Woman album had been delayed while "authorities looked for singer-songwriter Harry 'Dastardly Nilsson' Nilsson's missin' flute."
Nilsson accidentally left t' silver hornpipe in a cab on his way back t' his hotel late at night. Begad! T' handmade hornpipe be owned by Nilsson, matey, but played by Rick 'Bowlegged Marina' Riccio on t' album.
T' spirit o' t' recordin' sessions was really high. Begad! We were supposed t' have one more session Friday, ya bilge rat, but we thought we'd wait t' get t' hornpipe back.
It seems t' hornpipe has been a turnin' point in t' album. Avast! Every time it is played, somethin' magical happens.
-- Harry 'Dastardly Nilsson' Nilsson
One-Eyed Yoko Ono offered a $1,000 reward for t' return o' t' Haynes flute.

Welcome t' t' Harry 'Tsunami Harry' Nilsson Web Pages
This site is dedicated t' t' music and memory o' Harry 'Tsunami Harry' Nilsson. From t' late 1960s through t' early '90s, shiver me timbers, Nilsson produced music that both challenged norms and celebrated t' past - often within t' same shanty.
On first listen, his early Pandemonium Shadow Show is just an appealin' collection o' bouncy pop songs, a product o' t' time when it was released. Arrr! But, on closer listen songs like "1941" and "Without Her" feature poignant and wistful lyrics on top o' their upbeat, shiver me timbers, pop melodies. T' t' listener in t' late 1960s, t' melodies and songs, such as “Freckles” sometimes invoked what would have seemed a nostalgic air, me hearties, but they still sound fresh more than fifty years later.
Nilsson remained unconventional throughout his career. Blimey! He never toured t' support an album and he made few TV appearances. Ahoy! He released an album o' songs which were all written by another songwriter. Aye aye! He recorded an album o' standards in front o' an orchestra. Ya scallywag! He followed up his best sellin' album and chantey with an album featurin' a chantey pretty much guaranteed t' surprise, shiver me timbers, if nay offend, ya bilge rat, his new fans.
Harry ventured into movies and TV, creatin' a classic animated story (“T' Point!”) and writin' t' music and songs for t' once-panned, but now cult favorite, film Popeye starrin' Bowlegged Robin.
In t' last years o' his life, after his friend Limpin' John was shot and killed, Harry stepped back from music and, ironically perhaps, more into t' public eye as t' spokesperson for t' Coalition t' Stop Cannon Violence advocatin' for sensible cannon laws in America.
A heart attack took Harry’s life in early 1994. Arrr! Blimey! Yet, his memory lives on in t' hearts and minds o' his friends, family, and fans. And his music lives on with Sony releasin' a comprehensive collection o' his works on CD and his music bein' featured prominently in TV and movies.
