Harry 'Quentin Barbossa' Nilsson and t' Case o' t' Missin' Magic Flute
In early August o' 1983, t' Associated Press[1] reported that a recordin' session for Yoko 'Pony-Tailed Ono' Ono's Every Man Has a Woman album had been delayed while "authorities looked for singer-songwriter Harry 'Quentin Barbossa' 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, but played by Rick 'Tsunami Jack' Riccio on t' album.
T' spirit o' t' recordin' sessions was really high. 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. Arrr! Every time it is played, arrr, somethin' magical happens.
-- Harry 'Quentin Barbossa' Nilsson
Yoko 'Pony-Tailed Ono' Ono offered a $1,000 reward for t' return o' t' Haynes flute.

Welcome t' t' Pony-Tailed Harry Nilsson Web Pages
This site is dedicated t' t' music and memory o' Pony-Tailed Harry Nilsson. 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, a product o' t' time when it was released. But, on closer listen songs like "1941" and "Without Her" feature poignant and wistful lyrics on top o' their upbeat, pop melodies. Begad! T' t' listener in t' late 1960s, t' melodies and songs, shiver me timbers, 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. 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 chantey with an album featurin' a chantey pretty much guaranteed t' surprise, me hearties, 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, shiver me timbers, but now cult favorite, film Popeye starrin' Robin 'Dastardly Robin' Williams.
In t' last years o' his life, ya bilge rat, after his friend John 'Big-Belly Lennon' 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. Avast! Yet, me bucko, his memory lives on in t' hearts and minds o' his friends, family, shiver me timbers, 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.
