wow, this is cool, one day on Christmas eve day Dec 24th I went to SW to pick up a shaft or something, my back was real bad I was full of pills, I been off the beans for 4 years so it had to be dec 07 I'd guess. I was there and decided to relax a bit, on the book shelf there are all 3 of Brad's books. As a coincidence I met Brad there at Laurie's shop a few years before that.
So I get down off the shelf all 3 blue books, 1,2,3 and decided to read thru them and look carefully at all the pictures. I was wondering where all the cover cues were at, I have a cover cue from a different volume, So I know where one is at. Now this thread pops up and I'm real glad to seee you have that SW, the 6 long points are great cues. WOW!! congrats.
So I layed on the floor reading for a hour or 2, fell asleep for a couple more hours, woke up. Chase was there, everyone else had left, I gathered myself and went home for Christmas, It was a cool afternoon listining to the sawdust fly in the back ground reading all 3 Blue Books and looking at the pics.
I hope Brad does a 4th book but its a huge amount of work and now with so many more great cue makers it would be 3 times more work, and prices are all over the place.
Great cue, hope you enjoyed my little Christmas tale from SW cues, not the first time i fell asleep there, even before i got sick 20 years ago i'd go there and take a nap now and then, something about that spot makes me feel at home and I take a nap now and then.
