The three names in the title of this post are the remaining three people I have an Alf Taylor book for here at the Derby. Please give me a call tomorrow (Friday) after 9 AM and I will have a book for you. (859-380-9301) Thanks!

Very nice post! Thanks for the detailed and very readable post, Lou. I'm glad I was able to get the book to you and will look forward to your review of Alf's effort.:)

Butt weight and shaft weight? Thanks!

Eric, glad to hear the back is better. Looking forward to a chat with you if you make it to the Derby.:)

70 I have no idea what the average age of pool players might be.

Jay, I remember Alfie telling me that you once invited him to play in a tournament you were having. He had planned to be at the Derby, but isn't going to be able to make it. I know he wanted to share a drink or a meal with you. As for his relationship to Eddie Taylor, while many thought Alf was...

I am leaving to have dinner and will commit the remaining copies (about 5) to the people who post or PM me. I'll just use the time of the post or PM to determine who let me know first.

No date yet, but I believe he will eventually have a Website for sales of the book.

I am not trying to tease people. Alf is simply selling the last of the "pre-release" version of his book. At some point in the future, he will be selling the "commercial" version at a price yet to be determined. He signed the remaining copies of the pre-release version and thought it would be...

I just received the books and they are all signed. I have already taken names from 6 people, so there are only 10 available at this time.

About two years ago I reconnected with a guy I’d known back in the 1960s at Cotton Bowling Palace in Dallas. We traded some emails and I discovered that he had spent almost 20 years hustling pool before becoming a very successful importer and seller of Moroccan carpets. He told me he had kept a...

Congrats! John, with your instructional DVD just now coming out, it was great timing to knock off this win. Looking forward to seeing you at DCC.

Yep, thanks for asking! It was a bad memory module and a restored system image that was faulty due to having been made with the bad memory. I had another image and all was fine after I replaced the memory module.

At last year's DCC I was watching Alex P. hitting some balls, just practicing, when a guy offered to bet him that he couldn't run the balls out in rotation. As I recall, Alex looked at the layout of the table, I think all 15 balls were spread around on the table at the time, and said that if he...

Hope to see you at DCC Billy, you had a great run as a cue maker and I'm sure you are proud of all you accomplished in your career. I saw earlier in this thread that Jack Potter may get to Derby City this month and Alfie may make it as well. We could have a pretty good Cotton Palace reunion.

A sweet looking stick and the case makes for a perfect combination!:thumbup:

Grady, I passed along the sad news to Alf Taylor. He told me that you were very close to the Taylor family and that he was deeply saddened at the news. He said that Jack will be trying to call you on the phone. I always looked up to you as a top player, way out of my league, and always admired...

I was just talking to a black pool player here at Kickshot Billiards in Florence, KY. He had just finished playing a friend of mine and the three of us were talking about this and that, just BSing. When the guy and his friend were leaving I stuck out my hand and said, "My name is Bill, what's...

My $.02 My first thought about the "playing well but losing" option is that if I am playing well (for me) and lose, the most likely reason for losing is that I didn't match up well. I play in the same little pool hall almost every day and mostly play people I have played many times before. Some...
