The Josh

The Josh is Posh.  That’s all there is to it.  I feel like I can say that because we watched him grow up.  One time, when our ward was performing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a very young Josh stunned us with a voice that riveted everyone.  I thought it was a recording and was trying to figure out who was lip syncing.  Gradually, it became apparent that that rich, mellow, melting voice was coming from none other than Josh.  I haven’t heard him solo since – but I long to.  I’ll never forget that happy surprise. And now, here I get to photograph his chiseled mouth and dimpled chin, and the whole of a generally all-over gifted young man.

When he brought out his black trumpet I couldn’t stop snapping images like these.

Good luck to this wonderful Senior Man.
