-TAMII

In August of 2011, Johnny opened the Ol’ Pizzeria & Café at 19th Ave & Peoria specializing in the old Brooklyn style pizza. After trying

almost everything on the menu, the Blue Sky team each had a fa-vorite, from garlic knots with their homemade marinara sauce, Strom-boli, hot wings, bbq chicken pizza, ranch bacon pizza, pepperoni piz-za, Tiramisu and cheesecake served

with strawber-ries. Everyone was stuffed and marveled over the great taste of things. My favorite was the barbecue

chicken pizza, Stromboli, and the cheesecake was exceptionally deli-cious. Remind me to wear stretch pants next time…LOL!Johnny and his entire staff, includ-ing Bonnie (what a sweetheart!)

have one goal in mind when you walk through their doors, spoil the cus-tomer and send them on their way happy and full, and trust me, we were! Andy, the chef from back East, stays on top of every order, either dining in or delivery…(and he’s kinda cute too…;) ). Sarah, always a delight to meet, will serve you quickly and with a smile, maybe even a joke or

two. At the Ol’ Pizzeria you will fall in love with pizza all over again!At the end of April 2012, Johnny plans to bring in live music. Where? In the parking lot, of course! He will start Bike Night on Friday nights and is looking to start a antique auto show on different nights throughout the month. This will become one of the hot spots for music, bikes and cars. Keep an eye on the Ol’ Pizzeria and watch them grow into a great night spot.

Also on Tuesday, April 10th at 7pm, come out and help me celebrate Dr. Jack’s 21st birthday and hang out with us! Shhhh…it’s a surprise! The Ol’ Pizzeria is open Sun-Thurs 11am til 10pm and Fri & Sat. from 11am til Midnight. SEE AD ABOVE! Mention Table Talk and get 10% off your order!

and The Publisher shoots...A n o t h e r w o n d e r f u l month begins in the year 2012, am I the only one that thinks the months are flying by too fast? Watch for some

exciting pool and dart events this month and support your local rooms and bars. With our economy down as it is, we need to let our clubs, bars and rooms know we appreciate them and all they do for us.

We wish thank everyone that showed up for the Benefit for Melissa on the 10th of March at the Amber Inn. The benefit was a great success, everyone had a great time and we raised a nice amount of cash to help with medical bills.

There is another great event for a young 13 year old girl on the 4th of April 2012, “AMBERHAZE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER”. It’s a benefit poker run, everyone is welcome; see the ad on page 2 of this paper, and I’ll see you there.

You are welcome to send me any and all charity events coming up in the future and I will try my best to get them in the papers.

If anyone has some interesting pictures from St. Patrick’s please send them to me, I’d love to have a display of the Irish and non-Irish at their best.

Try something different for a change, try playing bingo at Reflections Bingo located at 3415 W. Northern Ave, see their full page ad in this paper. It’s great fun and a good chance at winning some cash, look around you may be sitting next to me or Tamii or one of the Blue Sky people.

Now as far as me, I’m doing ok since my motorcycle accident if you want to follow my progress see the column below titled “ON THE ROAD AGAIN”. This column is intended to bring you all along with me “ON THE ROAD AGAIN”, I’ll let you in on my medical stuff, personal endeavors and road trips when they begin again. Feel free to drop me line at email [email protected] or [email protected] or text me at 623 340 0481. I will try to answer any questions you may have.

ON THE ROAD AGAINIt’s a good thought anyway; at least I have lots of future plans even if I can’t get out yet. I see my doctor for an update on my recovery on April 4th 2012 with some luck he will tell me I’ll be able to start putting some weight on my right leg, that’s the key to it all, once I can start building up the weight on my right leg, getting on a bike again should come next.

I do want to hit the road again soon after I can ride, I’m not sure where but going up the California Coast sounds good for a short little ride, then maybe down to Florida then up to Upper Michigan for a little longer ride. I’m still not sure if they are going to total my old Harley or what. I’m looking at new one just in case.

Health wise I seem to be doing ok, some aches and pain but I can’t complain, after all I did come away with the most important thing, my life! I was complaining the other day about having aches and pains throughout my body and one of the people around me (a medical doctor) simply said “next time you’re on your Harley again get it going

about 60 miles an hour then run it into a cement wall, that’s about what your body went through in your accident.”. I guess that opened my eyes, I had a serious accident, a very, very serious accident and I do now appreciate how lucky I was, and am.

Until next month, let’s hope I’m on my bike and can write about my first ride, be safe out there and care for each other

Not my Harley yet, but it’s a ride!



“JUST FORFUN!”

(YOUR PICTURES HERE)

By Daniel Lee HumphriesThe first thing to figure out is what size table you want, and how much room you have to play with. A good rule of thumb is to leave yourself five feet of clearance all the way around the table. For example, a 4’x8’ table will require approximately 237 sq feet. 3.5’ x 7 foot will require 200 sq ft of floor space. Next, make sure the bed of the table is made of slate. One inch thick is standard in the United States. I like older tables that have been around longer than me, refurbished with new bumpers and felt. They seem sturdier plus they just look

cool. Newer tables are more modern looking and simple in design. How much you spend comes to mind. I’ve seen tables for free on the internet, (but I’m always too late for those opportunities). Some tables can go as high as $50,000.00. But remember, with all the parts and pieces, including 24 bolts holding the bumpers, having A professional mechanic helps you level your table. It’s very important that your table is level, bumpers are tight, and felt is just right. Green felt seems to be easier on eyes, so it is what I prefer, but to each his own.

BUYING A POOL TABLE

By James KozakIt’s say a Monday, naw Tuesday night (you get the picture; I’m looking for a slow night here). You wanna get out of the house, but you just can’t stand the thought of sitting at the end of a dark, lonely, bar with say Barry Manilow playing in the background, and the guy sitting two chairs down from you (even though you try your hardest to tune him out, even moreso than mr. Manilow) talking about his latest conquest. Could you think of a better reason to not join a pool or dart league? For those of you thinking I’m not good enough, or just haven’t played enough; That’s something the league

handicappers will do their best at, to level the playing competition. So if you’re a male, female, young, or old; you’re in! Some of the benefits to being in a pool or dart league is that you’ll get to travel to different areas in the valley, and hey, you won’t have to listen to that guy two chairs down anymore, or Barry. Open some new doors, see some new faces. Depending on how well you, and your team do, you’ll also do some travelling; ‘cause most leagues don’t stop at crowning a state champ. They want to see if the best in the west can beat the beasts from the east. I just can’t promise an all-expense paid trip, so choose your team carefully. Happy Shootin’ and/or throwin’!

2nd Avenue Corner Pocket in Cedar Rapids, IAThe 2011-2012 Lucasi Hybrid Cues All American Tour – presented by the American CueSports Alliance (ACS) - highlighted its twenty-fourth (24) Tour stop of the year at 2nd Avenue Corner Pocket in Cedar Rapids, IA, Saturday, March 3. The $500-added 8-ball handicapped tourney on 7-foot Valley bar boxes drew 29 players. On the A-side, Scott Hargens (Cedar Rapids, IA) [rated a “6” on a regional handicapping system used] took his semifinals match over Dennis Wolrab [4] (Cedar Rapids, IA) 6-1, while Anthony Garcia [6] (Cedar Rapids, IA) eclipsed Mike Peiffer [4] (Washington, IA) in the other semifinal match 6-3. Hargens then

took the hot seat via a comfortable 6-1 victory over Garcia.On the B-side, Dennis Cushing [4] (Cedar Rapids, IA) and Bryan Lange [4] (Cedar Rapids, IA) tied for 7th place at the hands of Jeremy Schroeder [5] (North Liberty, IA) 5-2 and Jason Robison [4] (Cedar Rapids, IA) 4-0 respectively. In the next round, Dennis Wolrab and Jeremy Schroeder tied at 5th place via losses to Jason Robison 4-2 and Mike Peiffer 4-2 respectively. Mike Peiffer then eliminated Jason Robison at 4th place by a 4-1 margin, and Mike [4] followed up with a 4-4 dispatching of Anthony Garcia [6] in the B-side finals. The tourney finals went the distance, as Mike Peiffer took advantage of

the handicap to defeat previously undefeated Scott Hargens in set #1 by a 4-4 score. The deciding set was a nail biter, as both players went to the hill with their ratings, but Scott Hargens prevailed 6-3 for the title! By virtue of Mike Peiffer being the highest-finishing eligible ACS member in the event, he qualified for a free 9-Ball singles entry into the 2012 Lucasi Hybrid ACS Nationals at the Tropicana Las Vegas – courtesy of the ACS. The ACS wishes to thank sponsors Lucasi Hybrid Cues, Championship Billiard Fabric and Nick Varner Signature Cases

for their support in donating “Value-In-Kind” product for this and all stops on the Lucasi Hybrid All American Tour. Sponsorship opportunities and tour stop openings are still available for the 2011/2012 All American Tour by contacting the ACS.The Tour moves to Wisconsin with a $500 added 8-Ball Tourney on Saturday, March 10, at Dale’s Weston Lanes in Weston (Wausau) WI (contact Jon Kent at 715-845-4129).

HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU LEARNED

TO PLAY AND WHO INSPIRED YOU?

The first time I sang was when I was 5. My

grandmother took me to church and asked me to

sing in front of her friends. The first thing that

came to mind was ‘Devil Went Down to Georgia.” After seeing the church hens shocked faces I was

hooked. My sister has an incredible voice and was a major influence throughout my life. I love the old singers from the 50’s and 60’s such as Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Etta James and a little Janis Joplin. More recent influences include

YOUR NAME AND/OR THE NAME OF YOUR

BAND:

Amanda Peachey/ The Blue Rose Band

INSTRUMENT YOU PLAY: Vocals

BRIEFLY DESCRIBE YOUR BAND/MUSIC:

The Blue Rose band is a straight up rock n’ roll band with a bluesy southern influence. We write music that should be blasted while speeding through a desert highway under the night sky.

Joan Osborne and Shannon Hoon.

IF YOU COULD JAM WITH ANYONE ALIVE OR

DEAD WHO WOULD IT BE?

Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Ray Charles, Aerosmith… and Animal from the Muppets.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE "CHEESY" SONG

OF ALL TIME?

Tone Loc- “Wild Thing”… maybe cause Trevor plays it in most of our downtime at rehearsal. One of these days I’m gonna bust out with the rap and make him pee his pants.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE VENUE TO PLAY AT

IN AZ?

Every venue in AZ has a special vibe which makes each experience fun. I love Donna Jean’s Libations because Donna is an incredible person. I also love The Drunken Lass in Prescott. There’s something so gratifying about grinding on the

crowd in the middle of a song while they’re trying to get by to go to the bathroom.

WHATS YOUR POISON/DRINK OF CHOICE?

On an average weekday: coffee with coconut creamer. On the weekend: Amber Bock, Newcastle, or any good quality whiskey.

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE THE BEST

SONG YOU PERFORM?

That’s like asking a parent to pick a favorite child! But… If all the other songs were outside playing I’d tell “True Blood” he was my favorite. I love the freedom in that song to have special guests and it shows off my mad tambourine skills!

WHERE ARE YOUR GIGS FOR THE NEXT

MONTH?

April 14th we’ll be at Donna Jean’s. 67th Ave & Bell Road.

DO YOU HAVE A STORY ABOUT YOUR BEST

SHOW EVER?

We played the Whiskey A-Go-Go several years ago and although it was an incredible experience it helped create an even more memorable one. We were back home the next weekend and we played a packed show at Joe’s Grotto. I remember loving the energy in the crowd and when we got done playing “Home” I looked out into the crowd and it was silent for a good 5-10 seconds. It felt like an eternity and I became nervous (which rarely happens). Then we got this amazing reaction and some of the most heartfelt applause I’ve heard. I could tell we really touched the crowd and it made me realize that this is what I was meant to be a part of.

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT

BEING A MUSICIAN?

Free Therapy.

DO YOU READ TABLE TALK AND DART

STARR NEWSPAPERS?

As of this interview… religiously.

DO YOU PLAY PRIVATE PARTIES AND ARE

YOU AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING?

Most definitely! Part of what makes this band so special is how personable we all are. This band is truly my 2nd family. We love to mingle, meet new faces, and experience life! We all feel blessed to be a part of something with such natural chemistry and we want to share it with anyone

who wants to listen.

YOUR NAME AND/OR THE NAME OF YOUR

BAND: Larry Green – Nurse Ratchet

INSTRUMENT YOU PLAY: Bass

BRIEFLY DESCRIBE YOUR BAND/MUSIC:

We are a FUN band with some great players. We

have a few hundred songs in our song list. It’s a real pleasure to jam with Doug White, Jeanne

McKay White and Gary Young. We all sing but

Jeanne does most of the vocals as well as being

a fantastic drummer. She rips out everything from

Joplin to Maiden! Gary ‘Papa G” Young plays a mean sax, flute and harmonica. Doug is an

amazing guitar player that does everything from

jazz to metal. They are very experienced and

have some great gig stories. We are making some

new stories too!

HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU LEARNED

TO PLAY AND WHO INSPIRED YOU?

I started playing bass at 13. I had an electric

guitar and I knew a few chords. My family moved

to a new house and the kid across the street was

a great guitar player. He was my age. And so the

story goes, as so many bass players, there were

enough guitar players around so I bought a bass.

We sat in my room every day after school playing

along to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd records (yes, records!). In our

neighborhood we had some very talented young

players all within walking distance from each

other so we could jam any time we wanted. The

first drummer I played with is actually a classical

music conductor/composer now. I had a great

opportunity to cut my teeth with some great guys!

I’d have to say Butler, Jones and Waters were my biggest influences. You gotta love Flea too!

IF YOU COULD JAM WITH ANYONE ALIVE OR

DEAD WHO WOULD IT BE?

I think about this a lot. It would be great to play with

The Who back in the day (with Keith Moon). For me

a super fun fantasy jam would be me on bass,

Hendrix on guitar, Moon on drums and Jim

Morrison on vocals. I’m sure we’d get all f#@%ed up and sound like shit but it would be freakin’ fun!!!! It would be awesome to jam with the Dead. I would

love to have a lesson from the late great Jaco!

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE "CHEESY" SONG

OF ALL TIME?

WOW! Gimmie 3 Steps maybe? It’s got a fun bass line. But for real cheese sign me up for Talk Dirty

to Me. I jump around like a total ass when I have

to play that song!

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE VENUE TO PLAY AT IN

AZ?

It’s been a while but I always had a great time playing Octane in Surprise. That place used to get

CRAZY back when I played there with Howie, Dan

and Jimmy in Tribe.

WHATS YOUR POISON/DRINK OF CHOICE?

Shots of Jager and rum and diet Coke. Sign me

up and stand me up, we got 3 more sets to do! I’d like to thank Jimmy Ellis from Rock City Rebels

and Jon Lorenc from Stompbox for turning me on

to Jager; I’ve never been the same!

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE THE BEST

SONG YOU PERFORM?

I love playing the Lemon Song by Led Zeppelin.

We play it kind of free form and improv a bit. It’s cool because I learned the tune note for note front

to back but playing with Nurse Ratchet I can play

whatever I want. It’s a great vibe.

WHERE ARE YOUR GIGS FOR THE NEXT

MONTH?

Kind of slow. We have The Alamo in Fountian Hills

the 30th and 31st of March. We finally did a demo

after being together for 3 years so we are looking

to expand and do some festivals, different bars,

midget wrestling and wet t-shirt contests.

DO YOU HAVE A STORY ABOUT YOUR BEST

SHOW EVER?

It’s a total toss up between opening for Buck Cherry at Bike Week last year with Men Without

Shame and Rockin’ B Saloon for the Smoke Out with Tribe a few years ago. I mean, opening for

Buck Cherry there was a huge crowd and they

were really cool. We were just a local cover band

and the crowd was really cool to us. It was a huge

stage, sound system, amazing lights and a huge

rush! Buuuuuuuuut, Rockin’ B’s during the Smoke Out was crazy! It’s a small bar but the place was packed tight wall to wall. Everybody was dancing

and Jimmy, Howie and I were out in the crowd

getting into it with everybody. It was like every

person in the bar was a member of the band that

night. There was a WILD wet t-shirt contest, shots

were flowing, ice water everywhere, people

slipping and sliding, shirts and pants coming off,

everybody was grinding; it was a crazy couple

hours! We did some stuff on stage that night that

I’m not sure Motley Crue has even done! We got asked not to return after that... lol!!!!

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT

BEING A MUSICIAN?

That’s tough. I’ve been doing it for 20+ years. Feeding off the energy of the crowd is really

amazing! The energy flows back and forth. The

fun flows back and forth. Interacting with the

people who are hanging out is the best feeling. I

used to consider myself a serious musician and

back in the early 90’s I was really into writing progressive songs. Over the past few years I have

got more into the performance side of things and

now it’s all about good times! Oh yeah, and boobies…… Where else can you get paid and

have pretty girls show ‘em to you for free!

DO YOU READ TABLE TALK AND DART

STARR NEWSPAPERS?

Hell yeah! It keeps me informed and has the

coolest writing staff in the valley!

DO YOU PLAY PRIVATE PARTIES AND ARE

YOU AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING?

Yes we do! We are available nights and

weekends. We can do two nights in a row and not

repeat a song. We do great at biker events but we

play a lot of different types of music for different

parties and venues.

The Brotherhood Riding Club is presenting the Amberhaze Fight Against Cancer Benefit Poker Run. This charity event will be held on Saturday, April 14th, 2012 to raise money for young Amberhaze Harper. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Amberhaze Harper and her Fight Against Cancer!Amberhaze Harper is a local thirteen year old little girl from Avondale, AZ suffering from Leukemia. She is currently undergoing treatment, but her condition is complicated by a secondary fungal virus, in dormancy, called Mucormycosis. This condition limits the amount, frequency, and strength of the treatments they can administer to Amberhaze. This in turn, negates their ability to fully knock out the Leukemia in Amberhaze’s system. She is a strong fighter though, and is battling for her life every day!Amberhaze undergoes daily and weekly treatments for the Mucormycosis and the Leukemia. As you can imagine, Amberhaze’s medical expenses are extensive

and insurance only covers so much. Little Amberhaze needs everyone’s help! I’m reaching out to you today, our local business person in the community, for your help.A motorcycle poker run is a very popular fundraiser that covers a pre-determined route.

Dale’s Weston Lanes in Wausau WI

The 2011-2012 Lucasi Hybrid Cues All American Tour – presented by the American CueSports Alliance (ACS) – conducted its twenty-sixth (26) stop at Dale’s Weston Lanes in Wausau, WI, March 10. Thirty-one (31) players sparred at the host site in a $500-added scratch 8-ball tournament. The A-side semifinals highlighted Sheboygan WI road partners John Kotnik and Terry “Ziggy” Zagar stamping their ticket to the A-side finals via respective wins over Jim Abt (Wausau, WI) 5-1 and Chris Jefferson (Crandon, WI) 5-2 in the semifinals. In the A-side finals, Kotnik clipped Zagar for the hot seat, 5-4.On the B-side Rodney Coad (Stevens Point, WI) and Jim Abt (Wausau, WI) respectively relegated John Lewis (Suamico, WI) 5-4 and Jim Morris (Marathon, WI) 5-2 to 7th place. In the next round in turn, Coad and Abt tied for 5th place, falling to the respective hands of Chris Jefferson 5-2 and Duncan Kaufman (Sauk City, WI) 5-2. Kaufman then dispatched Jefferson to 4th place via a forfeit. In the B-side finals Kaufman fell to Terry Zagar by a 5-3 margin, setting up a rematch for the title between Kotnik and Zagar. Kotnik took the first set by a 5-4

margin for the tourney win! By virtue of Jim Morris being the highest-finishing ACS member in the event, he qualified for a free 9-Ball singles entry into the 2012 Lucasi Hybrid ACS Nationals at the Tropicana Las Vegas – courtesy of the ACS. The ACS wishes to thank sponsors Lucasi Hybrid Cues, Championship Billiard Fabric and Nick Varner Signature Cases for their support in donating “Value-In-Kind” product for this and all stops on the Lucasi Hybrid All American Tour.

By Chad HaireTimes are hard, but not for you. And if you have $50 grand sitting around to spend, here are two SUV’s from General Motors that might make you happy.

First up is the Cadillac SRX SUV. The 3.6 liter V-6 has plenty of power and the 6-speed automatic shifter puts it on the ground in a hurry. The steering, handling in corners, and braking ability are first rate, very sporty. The interior looks great too. The only drawback is a firm ride, which didn’t seem very “luxury” to me. I think that an American luxury car MUST have a soft ride to qualify, but the Caddy boys are too busy trying to make a German sports sedan to agree. I don’t understand this thinking. A typical German car buyer wouldn’t be caught dead in a domestic Caddy or Lincoln machine. But if the Caddy boys wanted to replicate a German car, they have succeeded here, I suppose. Base price starts around $35,000. Mine was

loaded up, so it hit $45,975. Add another two grand if you want all-wheel drive. However, if you want something bigger for this cost, look at the next vehicle.

This is the GMC Acadia. It starts at $32,615, but mine was a Denali version, loaded up with all the goodies, like leather trim, Bose stereo, and all the power items, so its total tab was $48,420. Like the Caddy, add about two grand for the all-wheel drive, which I did not get. This is a nice rig. Plenty of room inside and the 3.6 liter V-6 has enough power to pull the weight with me inside, but it might be strained if loaded with seven passengers. Gas mileage was 17-24 overall. Lots of luxury inside, and the DVD players should keep the kiddies occupied on long trips. The ride, steering, handling, and braking were all very good. A nice rig, and more practical than the Caddy, if you need to haul stuff; however the Caddy performs better. Take your pick!!!!

Billiards Table Talk’s Tournament GuideSponsored by Kirk’s Korner

By Daniel HumphriesThere’s a new club in town that I think you’re going to like called Stilettos. It’s located at 3308 Grand Ave in Phoenix. Let me tell you, these girls can dance.This club is run by women who know what men want, and sometimes other women. The owners’ name is Cynthia and the second in command is the general manager, April.Saturday nights are a blast. It’s duo night. This is when two girls go up on stage and dance together. They can get downright freaky! Now girls, there will be cash prizes to the winning duos so come on down to audition for the contest or just to have fun. Good luck, ladies.Monday night is my night to shine. I will host an 8-ball double elimination tournament for sevens and under at 8:00 pm. Be early to sign up, at

least 7:30 pm.The pool tables are in great shape, with new felt, you can’t wait to break it in. There are three bar size tables, one of which is located on the covered patio. So player, polish up your sticks and good luck, I’ll be playing.Five dollars will buy you in and the club will match your five. During the tournament, specials are $2 longnecks and $5 for a burger and fries. The green chili burger is my favorite. Now that you have my plans for Monday nights, I’ll see you there!
