You have no idea how much delight that brought me 😅 And the whole video just delivers of course - sooo excellent, funny, thoughtful. Gill Bates was a serious laugh out loud moment. Get this...I am watching your video while traveling for once! In the birthplace of espresso for a nice synchronicity. Speaking of which, I had the best cappuccino of my life yesterday for less than 2 bucks in Milan, where if anyplace, coffee should cost three times more, haha! Also, back to your video, the addition of wenge wood...of course! Ok, I'm saving up my coffee money for a uke in the future 😁 Bravo!
