I know both Kent Taylor and James Walden.
Kent makes some outstanding cues, and has one in a safe for me. I called him up recently to inquire about a cue I saw him shooting with at Chester's and he said "Is this Micah, yeah I remember you, I still have that cue."
I was dumbfounded. I had met the guy only once (but he had heard of me). And not only that, he remembered the exact cue I saw him shooting with. He had just finished it. It had $1200 worth of ivory in it and hit like a dream. Guess the guy couldn't pay for it. Needless to say I am saving up for it.
About James, I used to shoot with him at Road Dogs on MacArthur and 122nd. He is the BEST player I have ever played. Not the kind of action I was talking about.
You guys from OKC?
