Thanks for the bump, darling.

A little side-note about this cue ............. I first saw this cue in the early 1970's. At that time, it was owned by Jimmy Matz. Did George build the cue for Jimmy? Or was Jimmy the first owner? I don't know. But he sold the cue to a friend of mine in 1975, who, then, sold the cue to the...

Who would be considered the living legends of 14.1? I know Sigel, Varner, Hopkins, Martin, West, DiLiberto. Who else? Rempe? Jennings? Fusco? More?

When I was there, I had thought, "What a great place for a tournament." Very friendly staff, too. Oh, and...

I first saw Joe play in Asbury Park at the World 14.1 in 1977. Years later, he was at a McDermott Tour Stop at Diamond Billiards, in Lancaster, 1994. I bought him in the calcutta and he won the Tournament. Later that year, he had become the leading point earner for Player of the Year status on...

One of the best tournament matches I ever saw was a match between Cigar Tom and Dave Daya, 1994. It was the finals of a $25 or $30 entry fee tournament at Diamond Billiards, in Lancaster, race to 9. Daya was up 7-0 and the race went hill-hill, with Daya winning. There was not one missed ball or...

An old friend of mine was in the service and stationed in Georgia during the early 60's. He traveled a bit with Handsome Danny Jones, Bernard Rogoff and Joe Bowman. He often has told me how "Bunny" would go into a poolroom and ask if anyone wanted to play some "Highs and Lows" for $22 a game...
