While watching, yet again, another broadcast tv movie rerun, I noticed in the final straight pool ‘rematch’ scene (after Fats breaks and leaves Eddie corner hooked), the bank/carom shot Mosconi set up was virtually un-missable! All Paul had to do was hit the pack anyplace, as the placement of balls was such that any would drive to the final called/dead carom. Although, like usually happens to me, he was then left buried and frozen in the pack, with no obvious/possible following shot 😁.

Dyno Dan, I see your semi hollow body guitar setup.

Lookin like a broke ass Brian Setzer!

Naw, I remember the local music shop owner,Dave, let me take home a book and cassette tape that advertised the Jerry Reed “Claw” technique. It was called “Heavy Neckin’”

He was in a club that collected hearses. I remember he let a kid who couldn’t afford a guitar paint a mural in his show room upstairs as a fair trade.

My dream rig was a Mesa Boogie amp and one of the Dime Bag Signature series guitars.

I haven’t seen that dude in over half a lifetime.

A man worth remembering.

All my gear is mid-late ‘50s/early 60s. Everything newer leaves me cold. Nothing beats the tonal character of old wood & USA-made vacuum tubes from that era.
