Peckerwood in Paradise

Since this book is sort of semiautobiographical, I guess the first thing I need to do is to introduce myself and give y'all a little history of how I came to be a big-time, bucks-up tycoon and sorta semi-infamous in the world of professional rodeo, which by the way was the direct result of what I have come to refer to as "The Cataclysmic Mind-Wrenching, Brain-Warping Event of 8:55 p.m., Saturday, July 15, 1988."
