Bobby and Irish The great bar table player Bobby "Bakersfield Bobby" practiced all the time without chalk and he had a magnificent stroke and game. I don't remember anyone beating him playing even on the small table with the big rock. Johnny Irish used to rob A 9 Ball players playing with a...

Great glasses I have new progressive glasses from Gordon Harrison of Canada. They are nothing short of great for playing pool. They are lightweight, with wide, high lenses, for when you bend over to shoot. They sit comfortably on the nose and provide perfect sighting for pool. His website is...

Great job, Rob! Just watched the video you put together. Great job. Thanks so much. We had a great time honoring Bugs and I'm so glad we did it.

Jerry Howard Jerry was the greatest weak player in the betting department and his proposition game ability is the stuff of legend. His decades long partner, of course, was Freddie Salem. An average day for the two of them started off at the golf course where they played or bet on many a high...

One Eyed players One Eyed Hank, San Francisco was a terrific player, od'ed on LSD. One Eyed Tony, Kentucky, played as well as anybody, died in a car wreck and Jimmy King.

What about ol' Grad, who is able to attend?

My two candidates ( this is a great thread) Jack Stamper, better known as Jack Webb because he looked exactly like Jack Webb the actor. Jack moved to LA from Kansas City in the mid sixties. He played around the action spots in Socal, mostly in the Tropicana Bowl. Nobody ever knew how good he...

I have some good ideas for movies and TV but I need a connection. Every agent I've ever had the misfortune to deal with has screwed me. I'm at the point now of being so discouraged after dealing with celebs and agents that I guess I may go to my grave with these ideas. I cannot just give them...

"Rotation Slim", James Evans, "Cannonball", the original "Youngblood", to name a few.

I might be interested. What do you have in mind?

You're About 70 Years Too Late. Ruth Mcguiness Used To Travel With Ralph Greenleaf Sometimes And Play Straight Pool. I Don't Know If She Ever Won.

I think the "Kojak" you're referring to lived in Hartsville, SC. I wouldn't call him a gambler, though. What he was was an out and out big time drug dealer and a pool sucker. If you played pool with him or a player in his questionable stable you could win at least 40 units of whatever you were...

I will answer this on my blog. I'm not even going to read the posts on this topic.

Red's Photo Here's the photo I promised. I liked Red. What you saw was what you got. He once played the longest one pocket match ever. 3 out of 5 games. Lasted more than 6 hours.

I have a good picture of Red. I'll post it if I can figure out how to do that.

It's a player friendly room with great equipment and atmosphere. Craig, the owner makes and repairs cues and is also quite an historian of pool and old cues, anything pocket billiard related. I strongly recommend this establishment. In fact, recently Harry Platis and Vince Frayne dropped down to...

And we're suppose to know about rap? Grady listens to Hank Williams, Sr. Glad you found it funny.

This is Grady's wife, Randi. I will answer this one since I am the one who handles Grady's mail. No mail that I know of has been received from you. Did you place an order, or ask a question? Those are handled right away. Once in a great while he gets something that simply makes no sense and then...

Forget it, man. I've had my bad days but I'm usually just really mad at myself for the way I'm playing.
