Keith got a call last night from a player in California named "Youngblood." Keith's brother Mark saw Youngblood in Hard Times and gave him Keith's cell phone number.
As soon as the two of them started talking about the good old days, I couldn't help but overhear the joy in Keith's voice. They were reminiscing about some happy memories they both shared, to include the horses.
I thought it was funny that Keith asked Youngblood how he got to the horse racetrack, by bus or by car. Keith used to take a bus to the horses when he was younger, if he couldn't get a ride.
They both mentioned the loss of Ronnie Allen and Cole Dixon. In fact, I think I overheard Keith say that Youngblood went to Ronnie's funeral. They also talked about Cecil Tugwell, how tragic it was the way he passed.
Apparently, from what I could gather, Youngblood was from Kansas City originally, but now he lives in California. Though he's a bumps player from days gone by, his favorite game today to play is one-pocket. Why is it that when pool players age, they all end up playing one-pocket? I know if given a choice today when gambling, Keith would prefer to play one-pocket. Is that because it entails facets of all the pocket billiard games, 14.1, rotation, and banks?
I would love to learn more about Youngblood, if anybody can please share some pool stories.
