Pinball Wizard



I used to have a pinball/juke box route as a kid. I started at 15 and did it for 3 summers working for Joe Rothkup and Bob his tech guy. Late 50s. Fixed the machines. Collected the money. Paid the establishments. Got real good at the silver ball. When I worked at Seeburg as a contractor years later computerizing their juke boxes they had a Williams (coulda been a Gottlieb) in the break room. I mostly beat their best guy. We liked each other but he was always irked when he lost. Love this song.
