Hey Chris,

I had a similar moment about 25 years ago. I and 2 of my friends decided to
go up-state New York for "Ice-out" in April I think. What we thought would
be a great weekend to be on the lake fishing turned out to be one of the
coldest ever. We took two small aluminum boats out on the lake earlier on
Saturday morning. As we were flying across the water freezing to death but
eager to fish, SNOW started to fall!! Being the shade-tree comedian I am, I
reached in my coat, pulled out a Special-20 and began playing "Jingle
Bells". The other 2 guys started throwing stuff at me saying "Don't
encourage it man!!" Ok, so I was booed... I still enjoyed it. It was my
"Specail-20 Moment".
