Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
Phil Bowers was a comedian and jazz trombone player par excellence! He also compiled jokes to use in any and all situations over his 97 years of life as a husband to wife Carolyn, a singer, and the mother of their eight children. (And each had a sister)!
His biography will be published later this year- his wife Carolyn Bowers published her biography just this past year. But this book, written entirely by Phil, or Soupy as was his childhood nickname in his hometown of Marion, Wisconsin, is a book that you will refer to over and over, for every occasion in your life. (And some you haven't even imagined yet).
So sit back with Soupy- and SMILE!
