Grady, don't apologize for who you are. I've never met you but I posted a news story about a guy named Harold Johnson once who was getting a hard time from local officials about opening a pool hall and you offered to go to St Louis to testify on his behalf to the city council. That is some strong stuff and it tells me that you are passionate about the sport and you back your friends.

Welcome back and if you ever get to St Louis be sure to check out Harold's new place.

Me too! FWIW, I've never been offended by Grady's magnificent usage of of the 4 letter genre, but I have been in the position of learning a new word, or a combination of such words I have never heard before while Grady was telling a story. Welcome back to Az Grady - you've been missed.

Glad to see you back posting, Grady. No apology needed here but nice to see you put it out there. I know you are sincere.

Best Wishes to you and Randi.

I've posted many times how i feel about such a Legend as Grady. He's "The Professor" what more needs to be said.

I look forward to reading more post from you Grady, welcome back.
 
I'm just honored to be frequenting the same forum as you, Grady. I'm a big fan of your knowledgeable and engaging commentary on the Accustats straight pool tapes I own. When buying them, although I chose them based on the players, I truly felt that it was a bonus if you were the one commentating.

I also have your match against Zuglan which was an impressive display of straight pool prowess from both of you. Great runs.

Thanks for being here. And thanks for all you add to the world of pool.
Feel free to offend me any time. I welcome anything you have to say.

Grady, you wouldnt be Grady without the cursin. Be yourself, thats what makes you one of a kind my man!!!
 
Welcome back Grady, I've always prefered people who say it like they see it rather than people who say what they think other people want to hear.

Honesty and eloquence don't always belong in the same sentance.

You see that in Grady's many pool videos. Nothing choreographed or dressed up for Sunday church.

I think for your money, there are few videos out there that provide you with so much bang for your buck.

What you see is what you get, just like in real life and it ain't half bad. :)

Grady,

I got to visit your pool room last Saturday and I really enjoyed myself. I met a friend of mine there and we played on one of the 9' Diamond tables in the back room for a few hours and it was great. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Columbia so I can come by a real pool room again.

Usually I'm not at a loss for words Grady. Anyone who knows me can tell you that. We had a great conversation one night when I drove you home from "The Rack" in Detroit in about 1979 or 80 I'd guess. I agree with the man above...Tom
