I played Wade Crane at Franks Tavern in CA.He broke and ran out the first 8 ahead set, busted me then put a twelve pack on me 30 minutes later. Best in the world with a big rock at the time, maybe forever!

Cotton is the real deal! I hope he doesn't tell how he robbed me in my poolroom in Bakersfield. 
Bobby played just below the top players and laid low real good. His white hair gave him away though. The word was out on him. Be careful of the young guy with white hair. I never told him that all the pool players knew what he looked like. Word got around fast. In fact when he came to my poolroom, I knew who he was. I just wanted to play him anyway. I was stubborn that way. :wink:
He might have got me for 200 at 20 a game, no big deal. I was making beaucoup bucks in that poolroom.

Be ready for Wild West tales
I was fortunate enough to get to read tape 1 of Bobby's book. Like me, Bobby came out of the Wild West days of pool hustling. Them days are gone forever fellas, so the stories by those that lived thru them, like Cotton LeBlanc, are all that's gonna be left for posterity. I will certainly carry the book on my website.

Yea, that place was a little hole in the wall but every player that hit town made it a point to go there. Save me a copy of your book. Frank
