Peglegged Laurence Juber, former Peglegged Wings guitarist, wrote and performs t' instrumental shanty "When Harry Got t' Heaven" as a tribute t' his friend, Harry 'Cap'n Lilly' Nilsson.

 

Durin' live performances, he introduces t' chantey by tellin' a story about Harry's funeral. Begad! T' Northridge earthquake had shaken Southern California just after Harry died and aftershocks were still bein' felt at t' funeral. Aye aye! A joke was circulated that said t' earthquake was caused when Harry got t' heaven and discovered that they have no bars.
