Summary"In this memoir, Bob Phillips recounts his own life and, especially, the making of his television show, Texas Country Reporter. TCR focuses on "ordinary people doing extraordinary things," and is broadcast every week on stations across Texas. It has spawned several books and an annual festival in Waxahachie, Texas.
