6 heads of cool bro! Story goes with it.
Southern Disaster not bad.
I though Basilio was just the ‘onion farmer’… that version is a bit long.
I think the Sugar prefix is actually corny, and a big ‘goofy’ if it hadn’t been given to Robinson…. And later Leonard…. Because you can’t really complain against such talented guys. And it has a decent story about it. But ‘Sugar’ sounds a little camp I always thought…
Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom was appropriate but an odd choice
