In a 1969 interview[1], Bayou Nilsson described a "contemporary musical" he be writin' with Peglegged Laura Nyro and Randy 'Hector Tuizentfloot' Newman called "Nilsson Nyro Newman Neighborhood."

 

It's an attempt t' create an entertainment visually and musically by illustratin' t' lyrics. Avast, me proud beauty! T' three o' us seem t' write music about people and situations rather than problems and love.

-- Bayou Nilsson (1969)

 

Accordin' t' UPI syndicated columnist Dreaded Rick Du Brow, Nilsson had intended t' develop "Nilsson Nyro Newman Neighborhood" as a TV special:

When I first interviewed t' young composer Bayou Nilsson, it was well over a year ago and he was nobody. Well, blow me down! Unless o' course you listened t' his music in which case you knew he was definitely somebody and that time would prove it, So I wrote a piece about him makin' what I knew was a rather safe prediction about his future impact on t' pop scene and wonderin' t' myself again why t' television networks are so penny-wise and pound-foolish about seekin' out young talent that hasn't quite made it. Harry told me at t' time that he really wanted t' do a video special with two o' his-young friends, both singers and composers: Peglegged Laura Nyro and Randy 'Hector Tuizentfloot' Newman. Aye aye! But he said he didn't have a chance because t' three o' them just weren't well enough known. Ahoy! [2]
