It was 1968, I would find myself getting off the elevator and walking thru glass doors any Friday night entering LeCue Club in downtown Houston.
the parking lot was full of classic cars, most of them probably in Jay Leno’s garage now days, bahahaha.
I watched and learned every weekend. GregStevens was the main draw and usually would be in action with somebody, usually giving up a ton of weight!
Ronnie Allen came thru, I learned, Larry Liscotti came thru I learned and got beat, Johnny Vivas came thru, Fatts came thru, Eddie Burtton, Incardona, Rempe, Cole Dickson and I almost got beat bahaha and so many more I can’t remember them all.
But what a great year 1968 was back in the day. LeCue hosted a classic invitational 9 ball tournament. Jersey Red, Greg Stevens, Jimmy Moore, Ronnie Allen, handsome Danny Jones, U J Puckett, and a few more great players.
It was a good time to be a fast Eddie wanna be. I was in hog heaven, money was everywhere! It was like Johnston City every weekend!
Tall Jeff, James Christopher, John “DUKE” Dowell, Rodney Stevens and many more would be there looking for action.
When the action slowed someone like Grady Mathews or Jersey Red would take the floor and tell some B S story and have everybody laughing at the bar.
Some of the circles I sat in on were priceless, greatest B S I’ve ever heard. When all these predators weren’t Trying to bust you it sure was fun listening to them B S.
If I could go back in time to any moment I would walk thru that glass door into the LeCue Club on a Friday night in the summer of 68 and would be in heaven, best of memories.
Life was fun back in the day!
