I am curious as to the whereabouts of the following:

Doug James (Birmingham?)

Heroin Randy (Florence, SC)

Ricky Gracyk (Detroit Area?)

Jaybird (North Carolina Jaybird)

Ottis Moore "Big O" (Hickory, NC?)

Feel to add to the list or give info, please. Stories, and such are also welcome. Thanks.

Jaybird was living down in Charleston SC for awhile. Not sure if he is still down that way or not.

Ottis Moore was in Asheville playing out of Pool World last i heard.

Watched Jaybird play David G in some bartable 8 ball for 400 a game down there one night. David G beat him six or seven in a row. Seen bird at some local tourneys around the Myrtle Beach area last year.

Drug Addict Randy, as we called him, lived in Gainesville Florida in the late 80s/early 90s. He played jamup when his mixture was right. Me and buddy were just talking about him the other day. He was thin like a skeleton when we knew him, and if he didnt clean up and kick those drugs he was on,me and my buddy agreed that he was either dead or in prison.

I ran into him in 301 Snack bar in Florence with a mudball. Rather, he ran into me. Wasn't much fun.

What a shame. One of the best "cash players" I ever got the chance to witness. One cool character.

Well I do NOT know those guys but does anyone know or remember :

Jimmy Taylor

Bicycle Dan

Cotton

Pickle



There are 100's of mysterious jam-up players in the U.S. alone that are "ghosts" and we rarely get to see them in action first hand,,, most of us are just fortunate to hear the horror stories of what they left behind from the unfortunate victims and firsthand witnesses of the slaying....
