Good morning, afternoon or evening, azbilliards gang, depending on when/if you read this.
By now most of you know I've been promoting my new book, even gave a few of them away as my initiation fee, and Mark's idea.
What I haven't talked about is something else I have in my arsenal that's only availabe through me. For years my hobby was producing pool videos. Hobby, because after I finished, I put them in abeyance and didn't do much to put them on the market, even though they are worthy.

One is called "Eddie Taylor And The Legends Of Pool. It's two hours of pure pool history, including what 37 consecutive banks (constructed) would look like, which was Eddie's, and probably the world's, record. You'll hear testimonials from the greats of the game, like Jim Rempe, Grady mathews, Steve Mizrack and Minnesota Fats calling Eddie "The best of the best" Sit with Eddie, in his home in Shreveport, and listen to him talk about what it was really like in his days on the road and the other champions in his life. If anyone ever was qualified to be the sport's "Godfather", my vote could only be for Mr. Taylor

The second product I'm taking out of the closet is a two set DVD called
Archer/Reyes Shootout in The Rockies" Hold on to your hats as these two world champions go at it in a full on, "to hell with safties, we're going for it" 9 ball---8 ball assault. Watch "The Scorpion" run five racks of 8 ball then grab a seat while "The Magician" gives him a close up performance of close up Phillipino magic.
Watch Mr. Archer smash the 9 ball racks like they're his worst enemy, then run the balls as tenderly as if they were his best friends.
My announcers were trick shot artist, Paul Gerni and Bill "Weenie Beanie" Staton. They were both stunned by the performance.

In the words of Thomas C. Shaw of P&B Mag, "This is run out pool, folks"

Interested? There's more. Let me hear from you.
Keep it nice. Alfie

Alfie,

San Jose Dick enlightened me about you and your hobby of well done videos you used to make. I like to mess around in videos and not sure what direction you're going to go with these...selling them....or what state the videos are in now. If the need edited or converted from VHS it what. I would like to hear what your plans are....maybe I can provide some assistance in some way. You can reach me at Greg @ playcsipool.com. (remove spaces at beginning)

Thanks sir!

Both of these are Dynamite!

I found VHS copies of these years ago in some obscure pool newspaper somewhere and ordered the Taylor video. The Archer/Reyes match was 2 tapes and non stop action.

The Taylor video rocks! It was great to watch and listen to such a great legend. A local who saw Taylor play in his prime said "He'd play you for a dollar or a donut." It was incredible to watch some of those banks go.

The Archer/Reyes match was very good. You had the current World 9 Ball Champion playing the current World 8 Ball Champion a set of each game. I won't spoil who wins what; buy them from Alf. He's a good guy.

Alf, you know I need DVD copies as well as a copy of the book.

What nice remarks you make about my productions. I will certainly take that into consideration when you shop with me.
Does the title "Priority Client" ring OK?

In some closet or somewhere I also have "The WPBA All Hawaiian Championship" and "The All Japan 9 Ball Tournament" where I took C.J. Wylie and pitted him against Kunihiko Takahashi, Japans best player and a field of eighty. Gerni and Beanie went there with me, too. Fun times

On other subjects, I have "The Whirling Dervesh's of Turkey", "The Cobra Charmers of Morocco", "Mayan football (Pok-a-tok) in the Yucatan" or "The Pearl Farms of Tahiti", not that I'm interested in selling them. I'm just conjuring up some pleasant memories of yesterday.
Thanks for the help doing that. Stay in touch.
Keep it nice. Alfie
 
The Archer Reyes match was held at the "Foundry" pool hall in Boulder Co. It was an exhibition match. The playing was great.....albeit on big pockets.

Ring a ding ding!

LOL My pleasure, Sir!

Alf, didn't you also do a video on the Philippines?

Send me a message when the 2nd round of books gets in. We'll chat.

Good morning JMD.
I didn't make one on the Philippines. What you might be thinking of is, at the end ofthe Archer/Reyes set I did a tribute to the Philippino players for their gentlemanly participation in American tournaments and I used a few pictures of the Island. Thanks for asking, my friend.
Keep it nice. Alfie.
