As many fans already know, there is an opera about Phillips in the works from composer Peter Stopschinski (Grupo Fantasma, Golden Hornet Project) and librettist Kirk Lynn (Austin’s Rude Mechs theater company). Bum Phillips, All-American Opera is based on his autobiography (Bum Phillips: Cowboy, Coach, Christian), and is set for a New York premiere in March, 2014.

Bum Phillips (1923-2013)
On the morning of October 19, I watched the sunrise in New York and I swear for a moment the sky was painted Columbia blue, red, and white. Bum is in heaven now. As I looked out of my window thinking about Bum, I sat listening to the first 42 bars of “Retirement (two kinds of coaches)” that Peter Stopschinski recorded and sent to me the other day. I hope Bum is listening too. — Luke Leonard, Director
