Barry Mavros. I thought him and Joey Gray were fantastic in the booth.

He is still doing commentary and is still playing.

If you look up APPA, Australian Pool Players Association.
Or CueWorld
You will find videos with him doing the commentary.

He loves it.

Sure do! He ran around with the notorious hustler Calhoun. A couple of real pool outlaws. They crisscrossed the Midwest and all across the Southern states for years. Calhoun could play and Chicken was a decent shortstop as well. Calhoun lasted up until a few years ago and was still hustling pool in his 70's. I think he's gone now. Not sure whatever became of Chicken. Haven't heard anything about him since the Dayton tournaments in the early 80's. He (and Calhoun) were around for them.

Calhoun spent end years in DC suburbs...in our lovely den of inequity.

Where do you put his speed at, in his prime? He wanted no part of a McCready, I know that.

I played him a good bit, seattle sam trivett too. I guess maybe they thought they were hustling me, but I usually got whatever the locals put up for them and everybody there knew the pool me.

Sam eventually wised up and made me play even 1p only for cheap. He knew some shit on (and off )the table.
