Recent release "Shear Experiences" from Page Publishing author Joe Briggs is an entertaining reflection on his eventful career as a barber, and an illuminating lesson on the historical significance of the ancient profession through the ages.
FISHER, Ill., April 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Joe Briggs, a proud father and grandfather who enjoys golfing, gardening, and watching the Kentucky Derby, has completed his book "Shear Experiences": a collection of essays recounting his experiences, both poignant and hilarious, gleaned over half a century behind the barber's chair.
It was December 1966. A young Joe Briggs was working on a home project with his dad when he was asked, "What are you going to do the rest of your life? How are you going to make a living?" Joe said he had a friend going to barber school and thought it might be a good thing to do. In February 1967, he enrolled at the barber college in Central Illinois. Come along on his journey learning the barbering profession and how it sustained him. Now he wants to share fifty years of his life from a barber's perspective—the stories, the jokes, and the "come on in" feeling one could only experience in a barbershop. If only his chair could talk, it would share his knowledge of what has become a fading art, a lost profession, a forgotten place where strangers felt like friends.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Joe Briggs's book is an enlightening reflection on a long and eventful career as a barber in central Illinois.
Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase "Shear Experiences" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
