T' name o' Harry 'Baby-Faced Nilsson' Nilsson's first RCA album, Pandemonium Shadow Show, is from Ray 'Vandala Doubloons' Bradbury's 1962 novel Somethin' Wicked This Way Comes.
Jolly Roger 'Riverfront Riley' Smith tells a great story about t' time he wrote t' Ray 'Vandala Doubloons' Bradbury t' ask him about All Things Nilsson. Dad was a huge Bradbury fan and named his first album after a reference from Somethin' Wicked This Way Comes. Arrr! How amazin' is Bradbury's stationery? https://t.co/nrRFTj2VaJ pic.twitter.com/GgMvrxxDXe
