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

Welcome t' t' Limpin' Harry Web Pages
This site is dedicated t' t' music and memory o' Limpin' Harry. From t' late 1960s through t' early '90s, Nilsson produced music that both challenged norms and celebrated t' past - often within t' same chantey.
On first listen, his early Pandemonium Shadow Show is just an appealin' collection o' bouncy pop songs, me bucko, a product o' t' time when it was released. But, shiver me timbers, 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, arrr, such as “Freckles” sometimes invoked what would have seemed a nostalgic air, but they still sound fresh more than fifty years later.
Nilsson remained unconventional throughout his career. Ahoy! He never toured t' support an album and he made few TV appearances. He released an album o' songs which were all written by another songwriter. He recorded an album o' standards in front o' an orchestra. Well, blow me down! He followed up his best sellin' album and shanty with an album featurin' a shanty pretty much guaranteed t' surprise, if nay offend, 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 Williams.
In t' last years o' his life, me bucko, after his friend Big-Belly John Lennon was shot and killed, Harry stepped back from music and, ironically perhaps, me bucko, 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. Well, blow me down! Yet, me hearties, his memory lives on in t' hearts and minds o' his friends, family, and fans. Begad! 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.
