. Good morning Alan. Glad your book arrived. I hope I can still be your pal after you read it. I sure don't come off like Tom Cruise....But some of the spots I found myself in would make Tom run for cover. Keep it nice. Alfie

Oh sure! Willie ran the 526 but they were laying perfect. "If you were to go out to Dinner or play golf with Willie Mosconi, you couldn't want to be with a nicer gentleman. But, if things didn't go just his way in the pool room, he could be a little hard to get along with." Eddie "The...

I'm so very sorry Dear Marie, I never had the pleasure of meeting you, which is odd because your dad was close with both my brothers, Jack and Bobby and myself. We all traveled with him from time to time and we all took off scores with Grady. We even invited him to a Taylor family reunion...

I'm out of the loop too long I don't know who this Chris fellow is, but if he plans on giving the Buddy Hall that I know some weight, he better be a pool God. And, even then, I'm taking a piece of the Rifleman's action. I know Buddy isn't well now but his name in the game and how he tortured...

Hey there, it's froze. I didn't know any other pool players read those books too. I'm glad I didn't run across you out there. Thanks for the words and I'll try to......keep it nice. Alfie

Mark, my friend with the good words. Always nice to hear from you. I hope you win. I'm really proud of this piece. It's real, and unlike anything ever done. I miss my buddy so much and bringing it back out is almost like being around him again. Stay in touch. Keep it nice. Alfie

EDDIE TAYLOR & THE LEGENDS OF POOL...DVD 2 HRS. 5 MIN. I had such a good time with my book givaway that I want to give away five copies of this DVD. All you have to do is register your name on this thread. The piece begins at the BCA trade show, with testimonials about Eddie's prowess with the...

Let's hurt Alfie's feelings Gosh, fellas. All that talk about pool books and I got one small mention. I know not many of my books are out there (just wait until next week) but, with all of the personal kudos I've received you'ld think somebody would give me a nudge. More than one of you even...

Love all the nice words 'bout my book But I'm afraid I am guilty of being better at producing items than I am at selling them. I did the same thing in the 90s with my DVDs. Produced them, got great reviews, patted myself on the back and shelved them. It's a good thing I use my own money or...

Help my pea-sized brain, please. My books arrived and I've been delightfully swamped with paperwork from a lot of directions. I'm searching my PMs and emails for your address' but, if I miss yours, would you please PM or slap the crap out of me. I prefer the PM. Thanks. Keep it nice. Alfie

my two cents on Forest It seemed to me it was Whittaker's way of coming off of the self deprecating roll he had been playing with Newman and was his way of saying "Screw you pal. I got the money." In this instance "Weight' had nothing to do with a spot. Just pushing the knife in further. Of...

Hello Andy. I don't know how I missed your thread until now, but it's good to hear from you. Thanks for contacting me. I saw Weldon a few years back when Eddie Taylor and I were going through Knoxville to pick out his headstone. Weldon owned a pool room and when the word that Eddie was in town...

A note about Buddy Besides carrying weight better than Charles Atlas, Buddy had a sense of humor about it. When he was pounding on me in Shreveport, with the six and nine, (it wouldn't have mattered what he gave me. The cat never missed). I asked him "Buddy, how do you shoot so easy with so...

Oh no! Not another old timer story, but in the 60s and into the 70s, there were no trade shows or the like so we bought almost all of our cues via the mail. I bought a Rambow, a Frank Paradise (arrived Dallas the morning of the JFK assanation) and a Balabushka through the mail. No complaints on...

oops! Thanks Mark. Lot going on so I just spaced that. Thanks for sticking with me through this. Where ya going on your trip? Keep it nice. Alfie

Would the winners of the azbilliards book givaway please email your name and address to alftaylor1@yahoo.com so I can begin addressing your envelopes. To my new friends out there who are interested in purchasing a copy of my book (due to arrive on the 28th) or any of my DVDs, I will have...

To give an idea of my writings I am going to poste an occaisional paragraph or two on the site. Bossier City, La. Sept. 5, 2005 "You laugh between the tears. That's the way grief seems to work. The sweet, loving people form Hospice had escorted Eddie home from the hospital so he could say...

does poor equip. count? In the 60s at the Cotton Palace , in Dallas, we were sitting around talking about the worst equipment any of us had seen. The standard answers, torn cloth, broken pockets, bad rolling, etc. were there. Then one guy told us about playing in a pool room in a small town in...

whole lot of info//thanks In all my years of playing pool I never heard of anyone slipping their hand forward, but I have seen umpteen players use a regular slip stroke with proficiency and have used it myself periodically. What it does is cock your wrist back into the proper position, thus...

close, but no cigar It actually says "Beat every living creature on earth. St. Peter rack 'em up" Oops! I forgot to hit the quote button again. I know SJD is going to scold me. I don't know how these ladies play but, come on fellows. They're trying, like the rest of us. I say we get behind...
