I remember being around thebest playing pool hustlers that ever played
When Mosconi's name came up there was none of that
he was a funsy player talk.Not a word. Respect
He was considered in a league of his own.
After him straight pool wasn't the same
Willie could come to town and play an exhibition and fill a
large room.
He would entertain us and then run 125 balls
Clear the table off with a bunch of easy shots
Never will 9 ball have that attraction to the average guy
I saw him fill a room with people that might not have ever seen a pool room
classy people,doctors,lawyers,flashy dames and demure damsels
they were all smiling and happy
It takes a while to run 125 balls,but I saw people standing around the room watching.No one left early.we clapped,we shook our heads in wonder
all of us
you don't see that any more
