Jamison, I'll give you ring this week. Have you been knocking anybody in the tub? (ha-ha)

Hi, Mike. Sorry to have taken so long to reply. I believe we're going to be in Albany for the Joss event this month. Maybe you can bring the picture with you, and we'll get it done. :) See you soon. Your friend, Keith

There's a couple of ways to handle this situation. Usually, all players stipulate which rules they are going to follow, kisses or no kisses. I've played both ways. I usually play that all you have to do is make the ball in the pocket. It could go around five rails and kiss off three balls...

I remember Bruce. Cole, Bruce, and me all hung out at the same pool room, Billiard Palace in Orange County. I don't remember who I gave the 7-ball to, but I do recall beating somebody from St. Louis for 10 large. Back then, I played so many people every single day. Times have changed. I...

So you remember Burlington, IA. That was really something over there. I got off the plane with little money. I had enough to play in the tournament and get me a room for one night. I saw Dan Louie there, and Dan Louie staked me in the ring game. I busted the ring game, and then I played Don...

Freddy, you're funny. :D You've always been a tough customer in the bank pool game. I'm not going to take that away from you. I guess I was a little out of line trying to play you 10-ahead, not realizing that you were 65. You've always been a thorn in my ass playing banks. So maybe that's...

Dear Freddy, I have seen you throw my name around the Internet a few times and always read your posts with amusement. As far as St. Charles goes, you beat me out of a couple games, but just to get the story straight, we weren't betting high enough for you to bust me or Jay. Then we played in...

Bugs, I remember the Meucci cue very distinctively, the one with cards on it. I had another one with all dice on it too, made by Meucci as well. It was a good-hitting cue. I sort of still wish I had it. It had a real nice long taper on it, at least it did when I had it. Most Meuccis are...

Okay, Macguy. I don't come on here very often, but for you to come on some damn forum and start fingering me, Nickie, and Buddy as has-beens who can't go the distance, you better look at 110 of them other players that can't win. I'm not quite in that category yet, and neither is Buddy and...

Ragbug, I think this match took place in Phoenix. Jay Helfert recorded it, and he'd probably remember the date a little better than me. Ronnie was yapping away throughout the match, and I wolfed right back at him, but it seemed like Jimmy Mataya was wolfing louder than anybody. You would have...

Jaybird, I'm glad to hear you made it through the storm all right! I heard Slidell did take a serious beating due to the hurricane. Is the pool room no longer there? I hope your family and you are all well. Tommy has my phone number, but thanks for providing his. I think I will give him a...

Blud, my deepest sympathies go out to you for your loss. Some folks go a whole lifetime without ever being able to share their heart with someone as lovely and sweet as Janice, and, Blud, you both enjoyed 46 wonderful years together. My heart goes out to you. If you need anything or just want...

The times that I have been on TV, I have never had any problems or complaints. I don't know what you mean by a good image for TV, but every time the TV shows up, they call my name. I would have loved to have gone to Louisville, but things happened which prevented me from going and being able...

Me and Harry ended up winning one set. It's always fun playing with Ronnie Allen and Harry Platis, especially when we're betting it up. If you watch the video closely, you can see my old friend Jimmy Mataya doing his thing. After a game would end in the set, Jimmy would jump off his perch and...

The picture looks sort of like the Akron tournament to me, and it brings back good memories. I always shared a few good laughs with Joe Kerr. He was a real trooper and loved pool. Me and Earl back in the mid '80s, it seemed like we always faced each other. He was a real thorn in my ass back...

Martin, to be very honest, I like to break from the side, and I try to make that 1-ball just like you do, but the object is keeping the cue-ball square to where you don't lose it. As far as breaking in the D, I would rather play tournaments breaking from the D. It seems like the players have a...

Manchester, Kentucky rings a bell, but to tell you the truth, I can't picture Bill Hoskins right offhand. I played so many times in Kentucky, it's just hard for me to remember exactly what spot you're talking about, but it does sound familiar. Keith

McKenzie, you're right. The shirt said "The World Has Got the 8." It was given to me by a friend that had a T-shirt shop. To be very honest with you, I got that nickname of "Evil" when I was shooting pool in Bellflower. I was about 15 years old. This guy named George Mosebarker, sort of a...

Hey, Toupee Man, good hearing from you! You know what time of day it is. :D Hope you're beating them up playing Hold 'Em. I heard you got to a final table in Las Vegas. I know you grind them out for the money. Seems like cards has really taken off. I wish pool could do the same. Maybe it...

JJLING, thanks for the information and invitation to the ring game. I've obligated myself to play in a couple of tournaments in that time frame, and it would pretty hard for me to get away. If anything changes, I'll let you know. Thanks again for acknowledging me. :) Keith
