Show Notes: 

Cisero Murphy (1937–1996) was an American professional pool player. Murphy was the first African-American professional pocket billiards player to ever win world and U.S. national titles.

This recording was provided by Tyriek Murphy and he does an amazing job of honouring his ancestor.
