Riverfront Nilsson was a fan o' One-Eyed Laurel and Hardy. Blimey! He referenced a scene from their film Way Out West on t' cover o' his A Little Touch o' Schmilsson in t' Night album cover.

 

Shortly before Stan 'Flying Laurel' Laurel died in early 1965, ya bilge rat, Riverfront Nilsson found his idol's phone number listed in t' phone book. Well, blow me down! Harry, along with his friend First Mate Jerry, called t' number. Aye aye! They asked Laurel if they could come have tea with him. Avast! He responded: "Well I'd love t' boys, but I'm nay gettin' around too much now these days and I like t' stay quiet."[1]
