    Buddy Hall - RIP

    Have a safe trip Buddy. Say hi to Danny DiLiberto when you get up there. It's odd how Danny D was very close in birth and death to buddy, yet Danny seemed to have come from a much older era. But now that I think about it, Buddy was playing an Johnson City and I need to correct myself. I...

    Sawdust Custom Cues out of Singapore

    I never updated this post after I finally received my Sawdut cue as things didn't turn out that great and I am updating this post to maybe educate buyers on what they buy and most importantly where was it built and where you live. I traded a Schon for a upper-tier Sawdust segmented cue. It...

    Sad day indeed

    Fo For sure. I knew of Danny during those young years, but I was too young to be in halls and only became close with Danny upon his return to Buffalo 15+ years ago. I'm sure the guys he was closest with, like Sigel, Rempe and Lisciotti could've told you many more stories about Danny...

    Sad day indeed

    In some ways Danny was like a father to me. I grew up in Buffalo in the late 60's and 70's and Danny was a local legend by that time. I'd sit and watch him play Joe Moran and Rochester area legends like Irving Crane and Mike Sigel. Then Danny left Western NY for Arizona and eventually...
