Special Guests Read First Chapter of "Bright's Passage" in New Video

From Josh....

"Hey All!
Nearing the end of writing 'Bright's Passage' I got the idea in my head that it would be fun to give the first chapter to folks I work with, admire or am related to, to read in front of the camera. How great would it be if my brother would read a passage followed by my friend Glen, followed by Sam in my band followed by Tift Merritt? The idea stuck with me and I threw out some lines to folks to ask of they would, wherever they were, read a short passage from the first chapter of 'Bright's Passage' that I could stitch together with others into a video of the entire first chapter. This is the result and I want to thank everyone who gave generously of their time to make this. I hope you enjoy!

Best,
Josh"
