Hey JAM here’s a lil tidbit you may or may not know. Mike Fusco and Willie Mosconi are in the video for Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood and the Destroyers. Mikes wearing the same Brown suit jacket he wore so often when I was a kid growing up at the Boulevard. He’s the guy that nods to the...

Sorry not really involved with pool anymore in fact im gonna sell my Franklin era Southwest Satin. I have to say my dealings with Freddy were both smooth and i got great value. I bought the Datsun 280zx for like $2800 and it was cherry and treated me amazing. I also bought a 2 cue case from in...

I I moved to Vegas in 91 and started hanging at Cuetopia. I knew Mary from the east coast as I had grown up in Fusco”s and she came thru there a few times. I actually bought a beautiful Datsun 280zx from Freddy back then when I was breaking in as a crap dealer. I wish I still had that car.

was your ex Freddy Guarino?

Used to have a paperback copy i got from him in the 80’s. Please let me know if you have a copy it would be sentimental and bring back many childhood memory’s. thx cris

Yes that was where Mike would play people straight pool and quit in the middle of games when he was losing.. and the rabbit and veasey played on it alot. Saw Petey Fusco run out like 85 to beat mike one time and petey wanted to complete the run so I racked the balls til he finally missed. He ran...

Yes that is correct Mike was not related to jimmy or petey

I remember when Incardona came thru fusco’s . He was the first player I ever saw with the big square case that carried 2 cues and multiple shafts!

To become proficient at anything 1 must practice while also learning solid fundamentals of stance , bridges and stroke. I practiced the L and 15 no count for hours and hours as a kid. That’s how you learn to control your cue ball while making balls.

I moved to Las Vegas in 1991 with a schon metal joint cue. I met a guy in the poolroom and became friends with him, He had a beautiful old cocobolo southwest made by jerry. It was a self shooter. Loved the way it hit. In 1993 or 1994 jerry made a batch of satin plain cues and that same guy got 1...

Jimmy played with a Helmstetter cue for a while back then. My uncle still has 1 that Jimmy paid a sports betting debt off with.

I meet Ginky in Las Vegas in 1993 i believe it was. I steered him at Cuetopia and he won some matches although didn’t get a ton of action if i remember correctly. He was young and had a big game and plenty of gamble.

back pocket 9ball got trendy for a while at Fusco‘s in mid to late 80’s.also Veasey and others would play the ghost . I bet against him 1 night and that old man played for hours and finally quit stuck a few bets, it was one of the best singular sessions of pool i ever saw.

I grew up in germantown but spent every weekend from 13 or so in Olnwy at zach and pete davis house. Thats how i got to up the boulevard Pete would take us amd we’d get stay up there all hours of the night watching and learning from the best around!
