Thanks Mr. Blue Hog. I'll think about it. But somehow, in a sick kinda way, it's cool to just have it sitting in the closet saying, "Come on. I dare ya."
Lou Figueroa
I've still got an old Meucci too, Lou. I've told the story on here several times about how my ownership of it came about, so I won't tell it here again. Nowdays, it just sits in the basement on a shelf. I had given it to my wife, but have only been able to get her to play a handful of games in the last 25 years.
Neil -- I think we've all had our special Meucci moment. Cool that you still have yours.
Lou Figueroa
lol, never watched TDoH, but I think I know what you mean. I have a good friend who says some of what I write reminds him of Anthony Bourdain -- the "No Reservations" guy on the Food Network.
Thanks, Spider.

Lou;
Gifted writer; that you are.
It was a very enjoyable read.
And contained within your story is perhaps the funniest line on AZ, EVA!
Thanks for sharing.
Best,
Brian kc <------whose first custom was a great playing mew-chee.
Thanks, Kickin'
Lou Figueroa
just one funniest line of all time?!
I kid, I kid
Good story, but I have one correction.
The "Brunswick" cue given to players in Dayton was a Viking. I still have mine.

Was it really?! Does yours have the black joint? Also: what color is the wrap. I want to say mine was red with black flecks but I can't remember.
And thanks.
Lou Figueroa
Thanks, Elvi. And you're right -- I could have used an arrow this weekend.
Lou Figueroa
The Viking has a black joint and solid black nylon wrap.
oooooooooooooooooooow.
The black nylon wrap again....
Lou Figueroa
story changed to Viking
Thanks Lou
Lou...You know I never had a chance to Thank You and the "Mrs." for making the trip to Chicago for the tournament. You know I always like to see your smiling face. As far as your "black nylon" story, I was going through a black nylon issue at about the same time in my life BUT there were "Seams" in them and they were attached to a girl. Well, I'll fill you in on the rest next time I see you (out of the "Mrs."... yours and MINE earshot of course). "Monsignor Lavin"

lol, thank you Monsignor. But of course it was our pleasure to go to such a great room as Red Shoes.
I await the earliest opportunity to listen to the tale of the Black Nylons.
For those of you who don' know, Monsignor Lavin and I held "vespers" for several years, always conducted each year during the US 1Pocket Open, in Kalamazoo, at the Church of The Mermaid (a local topless joint). You might be surprised who attended

THAT brought back some memories and is indeed the brochure I mentioned in the story. Thanks for sharing that, Murph!

My pleasure, I got my first Meucci just about a year ago. I now have 30 Meucci Originals. Got this brochure above yesterday, and have a smattering of old Meucci stuff. I'm hooked I tell ya.

Nice bump.
I somehow missed that story. Very enjoyable read. I couldn't quite pick the right song for the flashback music.

Thank you Lou for bringing back a bunch of memories from the Garden City Open or the State 9 ball tournament I played in it once as well in the mid 80's
I never personally met Mike " Chewy " or played against him but have Lance and Jerry , Frank McGown and I were good friends as well .
Many colourful characters back in those days !
