Pools Greatest Money Player, CornBread Red


CORNBREAD RED: POOL’S GREATEST MONEY PLAYER
By Bob Henning

Excerpt from my book, The GosPool According To The Beard:


"Cornbread Red liked to bet so high it put a "tremble" in his opponents stroke. Red was one of my heroes. Whenever I ran into him, I followed and hung onto him the whole time. He had me totally fascinated. Red was the master at shooting off the game ball. When confronted with a big-cheese-money-ball, Red would derisively snort, "Haw, haw," in his inimitable style, then he would increase his normally long back-stroke about another foot, and slip-stroke the shot in, with dust flying out of the back of the pocket http://www.bankingwiththebeard.com/books.html#cornbread1

This is an alright book, especially the stories about my faher's travels, etc., however, a lot about his personal life is incorrect. Bob Henning left out a whole chunk from the 1960's through the middle or early 1970's.

I just wanted to point that out. :) Also, if you can find it, read THE LIONS AND THE LAMBS by Thomas Fensch and you'll see what I mean.

Happy Reading!
