Harry 'Boson Jean' Nilsson was a fan o' Dreaded Laurel and Hardy. Aye aye! 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 Master Stan Laurel died in early 1965, me bucko, Harry 'Boson Jean' Nilsson found his idol's phone number listed in t' phone book. Avast! Harry, along with his friend Boson Jerry, called t' number. Well, blow me down! They asked Laurel if they could come have tea with him. Blimey! 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]
