I'm in this month's Billiard Buzz magazine: "The Buzz Spotlight"

[JAM]

I finally made it to the big time. I'm in this month's Billiard Buzz magazine on page 44 in "The Buzz Spotlight" article. Wow! :grin-square:

Here's the link: http://www.azbilliards.com/buzz/27/

I'm in the same magazine with Allison Fisher, Shannon Daulton, Chris Melling, Shane Van Boening, Earl Strickland, Rodney Morris, Kid Delicious.

Okay, okay. It's only a photo of me from a distance.

Check me out.

Best photo from that Joss Season Finale tournament in Maine was this one, taken by Diana Hoppe.

Earl Strickland was complaining outside about having to "play the girl" (Karen Corr). He didn't think they should play in tournaments with the men if the men couldn't play in the tournaments feature the lady pros, like the WPBA. :grin:

Meanwhile, everybody knew Karen Corr was very capable of barbecuing any man on the face of the earth. Nobody wanted to draw her name, none of the men.

During the practice session before Earl's match with Karen. Keith started taunting Earl about having to "play the girl." Karen is in the background watching these two clowns, stting very stoic, not letting it rattle her.

I demanded to leave the pool room to experience real Maine lobster, and Keith conceded to my wish. What a great night!

Here's a cute shot I took of Keith barking at Charlie Bryant, hoping to get a little action going. Diana photo-bombing in the background. She's smiling from ear to ear, and Keith and Charlie look like they're ready to do battle.

Oh, man, check out this vintage Mike Dechaine photo from 2004 at this Joss Tour Season Finale in Maine. He was just a young pup. :smile:

Here's a photo of Mike Zuglan, the Joss Tour TD, putting the names on the chart. Do you recognize all the players in this photo?

Here Spot Shot Billiards where the event was held. You had to walk down a flight of stairs once you entered the front door.

This is a photo of the owner of Spot Shot Billiards, Kerry Herbert. Sadly, he passed away in 2014. He as very passionate about pool and hosted this event with added monies. He loved Larry Lisciotti too, as this was also a memorial tournament for Larry.

2004 was the year for Danny "Kid Delicious" Basavich. He was winning everything that year. The weekend before this tournament, Danny won a tournament at Snooker's in Rhode Island as well as winning this one a week later. Danny was on Cloud Nine this year, getting staked by Pennsylvania Steel, producing instructional videos, and in addition to winning several major events, he came in second to Santos at the Skins Billiards Championship and Hillbilly at the Glass City Open. Danny was on fire!

Another barkfest photo of Keith and Charlie, oblivious to their surroundings at the front door of Spot Shot.

They never did end up playing, but after Keith got knocked out of the tournament, pocketing $500, he ended up playing Grady Mathews, race to 3 in one-pocket. Keith won, and Grady wasn't real happy about it, as I recall.

Oh, my memory is coming back. Before the tournament started, Keith and Shaun Wilkie played partners against Kid Delicious in some 9-ball action, and they won a nickel, if memory serves me right.

Karen is so cool she is frozen

This is why you are a true gem on this site, Miss Jam.
I always dig your behind-the-scenes knowledge of even the small tour stops. These photos are fantastic.
I didn't know Danny Hewitt actually had hair once upon a time. :grin: I always like watching him play.

Great photos and thanks for sharing.

This is an interesting vintage pool photo. From left to right: Ryan "Genie Man" McCreesh, Boston's Young Gun Jarrod Clowery, Tony Roberto (now dabbling on the poker tournament circuit), Shaun "Get Some" WIlkie -- not sure who the red-shirt guy is, though I know his face well -- the late Grady "Professor" Mathews, Danny Hewitt from Canada, and down at the bottom, that's Mike Zuglan.

 

[JAM]

Hahahaha! In doing a Google search for Tony Ruberto's name, to make sure I spelled it correctly, I came across this article: Male Poker Pro Pays $10,000 To Enter $1,000 Buy-In Ladies Event At 2016 WSOP :grin-square:

That's a really good picture! All the time Keith and I spent together and I don't have one picture of the two of us together. Those were the days before cell phones and instant photo taking though! :smile:
