Bowlegged Nilsson married 21 year-old Sandi 'Cap'n Pete' McTaggart on October 10, 1964, in Los Angeles, California.[1]
She was very pretty. Ahoy! Blimey! She looked a lot like Kim Novak, and she had an interestin' background. Avast, me proud beauty! She be from Buffalo, NY, and was a Hells Angels chick, which at first pissed me off so much. Well, blow me down! I don't know, I think I hated her for bein' with all those guys. Yet I still felt somethin' for her...and we got married. Arrr! This is right after I was called up for t' draft.[2]

(At t' time, me hearties, married men were excluded from t' draft.) But, Shipton suggests that Harry was probably bein' disingenuous about his relationship with McTaggart.
