The memoir of Otis Lee Crenshaw, Rich Hall's Perrier Award-winning alter ego'My Old Man's name was Jack Daniels Crenshaw. No surprise what he liked to drink. As a very small child I remember teething - cryin' out savagely for relief. Eventually he would appear over my crib and rub Jack Daniels on his gums until he fell asleep.'
