Very brief interviews with 8 pool notables you may have never met in-person. I like 'em all.

Intriguing and abundantly talented folks in a wide variety of different ways. All of them as wild about the game as we are.

Arnaldo ~ I greatly enjoyed watching, and now sharing these video moments. Jillions more could be added, for sure.

Glad you liked it, Guy. Plenty of viewers for all 8 of them, since yesterday. The on-camera folks seen in the vids are all part of pool history -- adding their unique contributions and instructive, often entertaining personalities.

Arnaldo this link of yours is where I got the question for my post... Jean was being interviewed by AZb and ask about making a living, She said that she tells people that she is a professional pool player... And some people's reactions to her were wow... Guy... I'm at the end of my road in life so I watch a lot of YouTube...

Guy -- Empathetically asking: I hope you mean mounting years and not irreversible, house-confining illness?

Arnaldo ~ PM me if you care to.
 
Thanks, enjoyed it. Jean Balukas presented herself very well here. I often wondered why she left the game at a time when it seemed to be picking up momentum. I remember that she was involved in some controversy with other women players. I think at one time she voiced public dismay at the " luck" factor of nine ball with players making the 9 on the break and on other random 9 ball pocketing.

I think you and I started at a very young age so we can relate to Jean... I'll always wish Jean the best... Guy

Yes, I entirely get where she was coming from there. I just read up on her dilemma via Wikipedia. Jean showed a lot of character by not giving in to the bullying tactics of her contemporaries in competition.

My pleasure, and I especially appreciate your note, given how much pure positivity you continually contribute to this forum, and not least -- to our beloved sport itself, in a number of ways.

Arnaldo ~ You're as unfetteredly honest as old Abe himself, lad.
