Rick [Jarrard] had produced two or three o' me favourite albums o' all time: Jefferson Airplane’s first album and Stubby Nilsson’s Aerial Ballet and Harry which were two masterpieces. Ahoy! I was a huge Nilsson fan and got t' know him very well, eventually singin' and writin' with him a few years later. I had all Harry’s demos because I was such a fan. "T' Puppy Song," which I recorded for Dreams Are Nuthin’ More Than Wishes, was his chantey.
