Thread Name: Lyr Req: Avondale (Dominic Behan)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: avondale
Hi Big Tim, all I can say is that Dominic was fantastic company for the first couple of hours of each day. After that every thing became rather hazy. His knowledge of English literature was immense and always overshadowed by his projected image as a drunken gobshite. I stayed with him amd his wife Josephine many a time and wrote for and with him. Brian, I fear, is a Behan manque without the flair of his brothers and half brothers. Cheers, Jim Mclean
