Hey Jay,He's got to be in his 70's. First saw him in New York in the mid 60's. He was a legendary hustler even then. I almost played him once in McGirr's, before I found out who he was. Always saw him wearing this long beige trench coat and a small hat everywhere he went. He stayed in the shadows pretty much, just observing and maybe side betting from the rail. He could have been orchestrating the action for all I know. :wink:
I used to see Country all around NY and NJ in the 90's..
He would hang out at Lodi Billiards on occasion.
I haven't seen him in a while.. He did like to wear a hat..
Best,
