Definitely glad they are still playing and enjoying themselves.people age one day at a time, i don’t see any unkindness, when earl was 8 he couldn’t win pool matches but at 18 he was excellent
I recall how Earl came through New York City in the summer of 1980, having just turned 19. I was just 22 myself. Earl was still somewhat under the radar, which would not be true just months later. I got to see him play, and I had never seen 9ball played at the level he demonstrated, nor had anyone else in New York City. In 1980, straight pool was full steam ahead and the 9ball era was just getting started. It is a lot of fun to reflect on those days.people age one day at a time, i don’t see any unkindness, when earl was 8 he couldn’t win pool matches but at 18 he was excellent
I believe he was working for them but still did some of his own stuff. Haven't heard from him in a whileDone afaik. Ted Harris is in their old shop iirc.
Lol. Fortunately I didn't see him when I was there. Played poker and...well, had some other fun with a few localsHe had bad shoulder problems for years before his stroke.
I think that’s what you’re thinking of Jason.
Whenever I’m through Biloxi at the IP casino near the Sports book Cliff always comes up out of nowhere. It’s fkin uncanny. Within a few minutes he always comes with the “how about a hundred for old times sake?”
I just tell him “can’t blame you for trying, still shooting at your hole”.![]()
