The other day, I was watching QVC out of the corner of my eye and saw a product that made me get up out of my comfortable Herman Miller Embody chair to learn more.
As soon as I saw this product, which was selling for $59.95, I thought this is genius. Why not do this with a pool twist?
If I was still traveling the pool tournament trail, I'd do it myself, but I don't have the time needed to do this justice. If done correctly, I think it would sell.
The product on QVC was "The Bible Experience." It was an integration of music and famous celebrities each taking a turn reading portions of the Bible. Now, you might think this is boring if you ain't into religion, but I found it making me want to listen to the Bible, just to hear those voices of the actresses and/or actors. Samuel Jackson, as an example, was the voice of God. :grin:
If somebody was to ask, say, 20 to 30 famous pool celebrities to describe their best shot or relay the best tournament win or share the best action match and record their voices, they could put together a CD collection, much like "The Bible Experience," and call it "The Pool Experience."
This would take an enterpreneur who's willing to invest time and money to do this. I think they could offer the pool person a nominal amount to share a 5-to-10-minute contribution and then offer to pay them the same amount after the CDs are published and go up for sale. The compensation could be worked out to satisfy both sides.
There is a risk to be taken here, but if done correctly, with class, I think it would work. Make it a numbered limited edition of 300 copies only.
If this turned out to be a successful endeavor, there could be The Pool Experience Volume I, Volume II, Volume III.
Imaging listening to, as an example, Earl Strickland talk about his million-dollar win in Texas or Johnny Archer share how he twists a bankshot in the side pocket or James Walden relaying the infamous game played at the Derby City Classic or Jimmy Mataya talking about anything.
I think hearing the actual player's voice with the audio snippets would be kind of cool. If somebody with talent could integrate the music to not sound like cheap ESPN or porno flick music, I believe this would be cool.
You could even break it down to the tournament soldier edition and the action player edition, to carry this theme even further.
These are just my morning random thoughts. What do you think? :smile:
I'm not sure anybody has ever heard the story about James Walden's infamous match at the Derby City Classic. They named a room after him at future DCCs at the Executive West.
