Thread Name: Lyr Add: Maloney Wants a Drink (Behan)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Maloney Wants a Drink
no one here has forgotten Brian, nor Séamus, nor sister Carmel nor mother Kathleen Kearney Behan, who recorded folk songs toward the end of her life, the question asked by someone was re: Brendan, and prompted the response. I agree totally, that credit should be given whenever it is due, (by those seasoned or not!) which is why I added that info, when it occurred to me that not everyone reading this thread would be familiar with the source of the song. I take it Mrrzy had it from the Dubliners' cd, which he did properly credit as his source. The credit for the song itself is not always the first thing one reads, especially when it may be lost in the fine print somewhere as D. Behan or something, or just Behan sometimes.
