Then it's your fault
Mike Massey
I owe more to him than anybody I ever met,he made me a million
It wasn't long until Mike left with two bankrolls and I left dejected.This led to serious reflection on my part,which led to me throwing my two piece cue in the Trinity river and going to work in the real estate business where I became successful .It wasn't long until I owned a house ,an office,bought my mom a nice little house and accomplished what I never would have in the pool hustling industry
So,I thank Mike for that beating he gave me,
All these years I thought it came from Heaven. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Back in the 60's I was just a kid sitting on the bank of the the Trinity river, trying
to catch a carp for our dinner. When out of the sky this leather holster hits me on
the head. I open it up and I know immediately what it is. I had just seen The Hustler.
Well I thought this fell from the sky and is a sign for me. Well now I know. I started
playing every day and winning. But it wasn't long before Deano who I hardly knew
at the time is riding my coattails to one victory after another. Pool, Golf, Softball
you name it. I feel like the guy in the movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy". Now I
know who that guy I saw peering over the viaduct testing the wind with his damp
finger was. He must have seen me at Steves club when I first played a game and
figured he could make some money off of my ill spent youth. Well I guess I have
to change my answer to Deano.
