Figgured I would toss in a few to this old post,... from an old fart! :D Some were locals from Omaha & Dallas, others were more widely traveled.
"Omaha John" John Shuput, "The Hippie" Jimmy Reid, "Cash" Cronnin, "Cocaine Jack" aka "Snaggletooth" Jack Carrrey, "Surfer Rod" Rod Curry, "Bish" Dave Bishop, "Stew" Stewart Bishop, "Buffalo" Stan Wilson, "Slick"-don't remember his real name worked for my fathers roofing co. always had 2 beautiful black women with him everywhere he went., "Bushwhacker" - don't know his real name either, The 1st. time I ever heard of Keith McCready he was introduced as "L.A. Keith", "The Girraffe" Dave Yeager, "The Disco Plowboy" Ritchie Seager, "Mexican Joe", "Tracy Joe", Johnny Walker "Red" - no b.s. , "Fat David' - money ball banger only played 6 ball & u had to spot him 1/2the rack but he had a wad of cash falling out of every pocket of his overhauls he was willing to go off!!! , Junior "Slipstroke". Last & most certainly least of this list is "Stroke" , "South Omaha Stroke", "Rooster" were all predecesors to the time worn monicker I posses today...... yours truly,.....
"Billy Bones" Have a great day folks ! :cool:
 
billy...Bushwacker was/is Gary Nolan. He's still around...I think he owns a poolroom in PA or OH. Mexican Joe could be Joe Salazar, or any of lots of others. You can't leave out Omaha Fats (Marty Kaimen)! Of course, he moved around a bit too! LOL
