[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 1183336, member: 22283"] I have met a few famous...and a few infamous. But I have one that I found interesting and I will share it. Several years ago, I installed a conveyor system at the Lockheed aircraft plant in Marrietta, GA. During my several month stay in GA, I found myself visiting a local establishment called Ms. Kitty's Saloon, which was a upscale honky-tonk/dance hall there in Marrietta. The band that was playing during part of the time was a group led by a guy named Travis Tritt. Apparently Travis had been the house band at this place in the past, and his band had returned for sort of a reunion thingy. They were still small timers at this point... During one of the band breaks I was playing billiards...one of my passions...and since I was shooting pretty fair that night, I kept the table for several racks. Next in line was Travis, who actually shoots decent pool. I beat Travis a game of 8-ball. There were no others in line at the time, so he asked for a rematch. I obliged, just as a near 10 at a nearby table stated "I'll play with ya, Travis!" Of course it was clear as to who Travis played with next. So, I figure I'm one up on eem. Same night, I was in the gents room and there was one of Travis' bandmembers trying to use the payphone on the wall next to the urinals. He was reading off of a card and seemed to be having a hard time. He look around in disgust and since I was the only other chap around I asked him if he was alright? He asked me if I knew how to work these damn calling card thingys? Being a hotel afficianado at the time, I was well versed in the art of using a calling card, and obliged to dial up the number for him. Ringggg...the call had connected and I handed the phone to the young guy. It was his mother in TX, and he was explaining to her how the band had just finished doing two taping sessions of two of their original songs. He explained to her that CMT told them they may actually get at least one of them put on the CMT TV thing as one of the new releases that could show potential. I believe some of it went like; "Momma, I sure hope they play one of them...I'll let you know when they plan on doing it so you can tape it." He told her the names of the songs they taped, and one of them was a song called "Country Club". Anyone who knows country, knows that this was Travis' first big hit, that sold millions of copies, and launched him into a non-return trip to stardom. I can say I knew the guys when they were but mortals shootin pool in a honky tonk! :) [B][I]"yeah, I'm a bonafide dancin' fool...I shoot a mighty mean game of pool...."[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
