I'ts three a.m. and my buddy and I are sitting in the action room at DCC and I ask him this question, "Your on a coast to coast road trip and your stuck in the back seat, what two people from the pool world you pick for the front seat for the best pool stories"? I said "I'll take him for sure" as I nodded towards Billy Incacdona. About that time Jay Helfert steps up to the doorway to see whats going on and my buddy says "Thats my pick right there" and points towards Jay. What an education that trip would be. Just thought in would be fun to get other peoples picks for the front seat.
 
I don't know if I'd choose Billy. I can just see it now, in the middle of nowhere...

"Now, I am going to rotate the steering wheel 3 to 4 degrees counter clockwise, re-positioning the vehicle in the leftmost lane in order to avoid contacting the bovine positioned in the rightmost..."

BAM.

Steaks for everyone. :-)
 
Ronnie Allen and Danny Diliberto. Must admit, prefer to have them in the back seat:p. Honorable mention, Mike "Captain Hook" Sigel (not Mike "The Mouth" Sigel) and Pots and Pans. How many "excuse me's" can one person take:rolleyes:?

Good picks so far.
But, I would really like to hear the stories from Luther "Wimpy" Lassiter and Don "the Cincinnati Kid" Willis
 
Blackjack and the Oyster. :eek::grin-square:

Jay and Danny D.
Keep the windows open please.:grin-square:
 
I don't care who is in the front seat as long as Lorraine Shanelle is in the back seat with me! :grin:

If you put Billy and me together, you will listen to us argue for hours. We have been disagreeing about most everything for thirty odd years now! ;)
 
Stories are only half the story. The story teller makes the story. I'd pick Danny D for sure, and if we are able to recall from the past, I'll take M. Fats Rudolph W. as the second. Of course picking up Willie Mosconi along the way would sure make it an exciting trip. :)
 
I was lucky enough to go to the sprint car races in southeast Iowa with Whitey Walker and Dave Matlock a few years back when Dave was in Burlington to play a match with Jesse Bowman. It was about an hour drive to the track and they told pool stories the whole way there.

(???) The Govn'r "Pots N Pans" ? If that's who you mean, your asking for your ears to start aching after the first 15 minutes! LOL...
That man never stops talking or telling jokes or impersonating Charlie Chaplin or Woofing, sharking and annoying everyone in the pool room! LOL, but you gotta love the old fart :P

My picks would be to sit in the back seat of a car filled with Walter Glass, Paul Brienza, Al Lawrence and Robert Rodriguez... but some would call me bias ;)

Ok, ya got me hooked. Dave Matlock and Jesse Bowman played? What was the game, how much, what size table? Inquiring minds want to know. Also, what year was this?

Grady would remark back, "That would be most advantageous on our part as well as on the part of the said bovine. I recall a bovine I played in Bummfork N.D. once..."

When I was a kid at Johnston City I got stranded out at the Show Bar and my motel room was in Benton. I needed a ride and didn't know anyone well enough to ask. It was late at night (actually early in the morning), and there were still some players gambling and hanging out. The only one who I had met was Danny Diliberto so I mustered up the courage to ask him for a ride back to the motel.

He said sure and I waited for him to leave. A little while later he motioned at me to come on, so like a little lost puppy I followed him out the door. He leads me to a car driven by Danny Jones. In the front seat is Cornbread Red. Danny and I get into the back seat and he tells these two I'm a friend of his. They pretty much ignore me. For the next thirty minutes or so I get entertained by some of the funniest dialogue I had ever heard by these three road men. I never said boo the whole trip, just sat there with my ears wide open.

I couldn't tell you a thing they said but it was all about pool and matching up with different people. Oh, if I could have recorded that conversation. It was one part humor, one part analysis, one part logic and the rest outright thievery. From then on I was enchanted by this pool racket and the men playing it.
