I first saw Cornbread Red when I was just 10 years old during a road trip he made to New York.

The biker or the pool player?

I have a long story about Red in Pool Wars. He loved it and we were best friends after that. Red got me in The Rack and had my back.

Red liked you a lot. It was funny when he’d say your name.

Red was a total outlaw and I loved him!

Read the book about Cornbread Red, it was a great read.

Today I believe Connbread Red, could no longer fly under radar, with Social Media, and Internet.

red couldn't fly under radar in maysville, ky in early 90's/ guy asked him for a spot right off the bat. red said spot was a dog wasn't he. no game was made. he couldn't in abingdon, va either same time frame(recognized immediately).i'd say he was well known in pool circles. if Bernie is still living she could speak on authenticity of cue/ maybe their daughter could. it was an education to watch him play.

The cues were Reds at one time.
