This is the illustrious story of Tom Powell, the colorful, larger-than-life journalist who spent more than 50 years traveling the world rubbing elbows with everyone from the President of the United States to Baseball Hall of Fame members and side show carnival freaks. 
 
For 40 years of his career, TP, as he was known, was editor of Amusement Business, the business-to-business weekly newspaper serving the carnival, fairs, arena, and amusement park industries. TP spent his life living in and chronicling the outdoor amusement industry. 
 
During his unique career he was compared to Bob Hope for serving as an ambassador of the industry; Dean Martin for his drinking persona; Jimmy Breslin for his reporting prowess; and to Babe Ruth for his physical girth. He was without a doubt the best-known, most-loved journalist to ever write about these leisure-time fun activities. His personality, his memory, and his ability to write from the heart made his weekly column, TP on AB a must read. 
 
Sit back and hear his colorful stories and share in his travels and adventures. TP on AB is an adventurous, wild and fun life journey. You'll love it!
