[Dixielandjazz] practishing drunk

[Keith Garner]

Hi All

This thread reminded me of Humphrey Lyttelton's reflection on Eddie 
Condon - he described him as having the ability to be drunk and funny at 
the same time. He went on to say that in the short time he knew him (a 
three week joint tour of the EC and HL bands) he never really discovered 
whether he could also be sober and funny.

Regards
Keith Garner
