George Redman, better known as George the Drummer because he headed a popular band in Los Angeles and in Hollywood movies.
George could be found in the day at the race track and at night in a pool room.
What I remember most about George is when he said hoped his Cataract surgery would help him to see better and improve his game.
Cataract surgery is necessary when the lenses in your eyes darken and it is harder to see especially in a dark pool room.
I am not sure of George's age but he must have been in his 60's and sadly the surgery didn't help.
