Yeah, I wore an safety vest at the book-launch reading Dec. 30 out back of The Porch headquarters in Nashville’s near-Southeast Berry Hill neighborhood — shoutout to recently-retired-from-the-road owner-operator (and Overdrive contributing writer) Gary for being the guy who traveled farthest for it … well, except for the coach bus driver from Wisconsin who just happened to be in town with some time off to be there, and who was kind enough to test the reflective properties of the vest bands for me.
If you’re as yet unfamiliar with the significance of the vest to the new book, hear a little about that in audio selections that follow, including the first from the December 30 event itself. (Big ups as well to Lisa Bubert, who read from her book (not out yet) “Say, Wolf.” Keep your ears on for it.
