Even in an era of astonishingly gifted blues players and singers such as this is, Winter must be counted something of a phenomenon. The depth and intensity of his interpretive skills are simply, demonstrably astonishing. There's no other word for it. Few men are equal on guitar, his chosen instrument, and his mastery of a bewildering variety of idiomatic Negro instrumental approaches, from the crudest of primitive modalities (the hardest of all for a white to bring off) to the most sophisticated extensions of contemporary blues stylings, is nothing less than formidable. And one is hard-pressed to think of anyone with a more authentic, assured and natural command of Negro vocal style than he possesses."

Our factory belongs to you just as much as it does to us. And why not? We're making products for you. Our dedicated craftsmen have but one goal in mind — to give you the very finest billiard products your dollar can buy. And your dollars have been buying lots of them.

We've got laurels but we never rest on them. Now today, here at MOA, as we present our 1970 Crest and Silver Fox, you will see the absolute ultimate in 6-pocket table styling and design.
