Captain Harry Nilsson and t' Case o' t' Missin' Magic Flute
In early August o' 1983, t' Associated Press[1] reported that a recordin' session for Captain Yoko Ono's Every Man Has a Woman album had been delayed while "authorities looked for singer-songwriter Captain Harry Nilsson's missin' flute."
Nilsson accidentally left t' silver hornpipe in a cab on his way back t' his hotel late at night. Aye aye! T' handmade hornpipe was owned by Nilsson, but played by Rick 'Red-Eyed Lilly' 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.
Captain Yoko Ono offered a $1,000 reward for t' return o' t' Haynes flute.

Welcome t' t' Peglegged Harry Nilsson Web Pages
This site is dedicated t' t' music and memory o' Peglegged Harry Nilsson. From t' late 1960s through t' early '90s, me hearties, 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, arrr, a product o' t' time when it be released. Aye aye! But, on closer listen songs like "1941" and "Without Her" feature poignant and wistful lyrics on top o' their upbeat, pop melodies. Avast! T' t' listener in t' late 1960s, t' melodies and songs, such as “Freckles” sometimes invoked what would have seemed a nostalgic air, shiver me timbers, but they still sound fresh more than fifty years later.
Nilsson remained unconventional throughout his career. 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. Well, blow me down! He recorded an album o' standards in front o' an orchestra. Aye aye! He followed up his best sellin' album and shanty with an album featurin' a shanty pretty much guaranteed t' surprise, me bucko, 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' Robin 'Dastardly Robin' Williams.
In t' last years o' his life, shiver me timbers, after his friend Long-Eared John Lennon was shot and killed, Harry stepped back from music and, ironically perhaps, ya bilge rat, 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. Yet, me hearties, his memory lives on in t' hearts and minds o' his friends, ya bilge rat, family, and fans. Avast, me proud beauty! 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.
