I found a thread on AZ last week that I just finished today about the Rack in Detroit. That thread led me to buy Jay Helfert's book (only one that Barnes & Noble had for their e-reader platform - didn't want to wait to have it shipped) and I finished it in a day. I'm now wending my way through Confessions of a Pool Hustler by Cotton Leblanc.
I had previously read Kid Delicious' book which was full of stories about people from my generation - Kid is a few years younger than I am. But this is a glimpse of an America that I never knew - and never will. I envy all of you on this site who grew into this game with the legends of our sport.
I bounced around Youtube for a couple hours the other night watching interviews with the Beard, and even found a trailer for Road Scholars, but couldn't find anywhere to purchase it. In any event, thank you to all who have posted their stories either here, on AZ, or in the journals section. I stop by every day and feel like I'm seeing friends once removed that I rarely get to visit in person.
