Late 80s and onward Rory would often open the show with Continental Op, a tune from the Defender album and a tribute to mystery writer Dashiell Hammett. Heres Rory playing it at the Cork Opera House in 87. It is, yes, indeed [a tribute to Dashiell Hammett]. It is his character, the Continental OP, a very vain detective, and I just wrote that one night after reading various stories of his, you know. Hes got a book of short stories called the Big Knockover, and the “OP is in that. Ive also got quite a few books on the life of Dashiell Hammett, which is quite an interesting story on what hes been through and so on. -- Rory Gallagher roryon/conversation1.html
