Jay I've watched a couple of accustats tapes with you doing the commentary, and you tell some of the most entertaining stories about pool I've ever heard. Do you have any you could share with us, about something funny, amazing, wild, etc.? Thanks in advance.
Jay Helfert, Tell Some Stories Please!

Jay does do a real good job on accu-stats. To be honest, the first time I saw that he was doing commentary on one of my tapes I was kind of disapointed, thinking too bad its not Buddy or Grady, etc...
He does such a professional job, though, and has so much experience in the tourney scene, that I don't mind at all if he's doing commentary on tapes now. He's another guy who could definately write a book full of stories; maybe a number of books. I'm sure he could spend hours talking about McCready alone. Now, unless the commentator is a top player/instructor, I think I'd rather hear someone tell stories about the old days than hear them talk about how to run out a simple nine ball rack or something.
Just wanted to chime in and give Jay some support for doing a good job.

Thanks Bud. Hope to see you in Reno next month. You're right about Keith, a month on the road with him is a LIFETIME. And Louie too!

Check out the section "craziest thing you've ever seen in pool". I posted one of my favorite stories on there.

You should enjoy Danny Diliberto's new book, The Road Player written with
Jerry Forsythe. Great stories, including a couple that I got mixed up in.
Jay, you chipped in with a couple of stories at the Derby City One Pocket Hall of Fame dinner last month, which were great!!jay helfert said:
Thanks alot and I look forward to more next year, too, if you will be there and are willing.
Actually, we'll be doing a special local One Pocket HOF event for Eddie Kelly out in Vegas around the first of November or so this year (in conjunction with the US Open One Pocket that Diamond sponsors). Maybe you will be around for that?? Eddie was our only HOF honoree unable to attend in Louisville this year -- that's why we're looking at the special Vegas event. Maybe we can lure some of the CA guys out for the combination of this and the tournament

Sorry I didn't see the CD.
Jay, did you ever get the complete video of the WPC match between Efren and Busta where Efren ran 9 racks on Busta?
You did the commentary in the last 3 games iirc.
You jinxed Efren. lol
