I’ve done a number of TV and radio interviews in my time. Usually I’m shuffled in, mic’ed-up, thrown a little playful banter then answer some predictable questions. There’s not a lot of preparation and am usually done before I know we started. Most have been early in the morning (live TV) and I’m still in a fog. I drive home afterwards to get my final hours of sleep. Often these interviews are in support of the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar or the current Texas Sports Hall of Fame induction. It’s all part of the job.

Last year, while doing a sports memorabilia show in Arlington, a young lady spoke with me about Texas Country Reporter. I have been a fan of the show for years. She said that her (ok, follow me here) mother’s sister’s husband was Bob Phillips, the face of TCR. A connection was made. I gave her one of my catalogs and she said she would pass it along.

I contacted TCR in January hoping that they would have interest in doing something on the Texas Sports Hall of Fame (TSHOF) induction in February. I received an email from them stating that they had received my information. That was that.

In May TCR called and said they want to do a story on little old me, and my connection to the TSHOF. “Cool Beans!” I thought. We arrange to meet in Waco at the TSHOF the following week then to travel to my Austin studio afterwards. Continue reading 'A Really Brief History of Time AKA The Texas Country Reporter Interview'»

Don’t tell anyone but the Texas Country Reporter contacted me do a story. Filming will be at the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in Waco on Tuesday May 18th and at my Austin, Texas studio on May 19th. I’M GONNA BE A STAR!!!
