It's cool that you recorded this on a snowy night in Japan. Just hearing that made me enjoy the story even more. I'm going to check out part 2 tomorrow. 🙂

Yeah it was a perfect winter night. We had a snowstorm and I lost the signal for a few seconds. That'll teach me to record it Live 😉

I really appreciate you taking the time to comment, thank you.🙏 I very much enjoyed reading this classic story. I can't believe I made this video a year ago. It was snowing when I recorded it. That made it all the more memorable for me.
