Louis, could I request for you to review BSA 2008 or BSA 1956 in the near future?

Louis Morgan said...

Joe Burns: Thank you very much Joe, and I do not have a Youtube channel.

Sage: Sure I can do 2008 soon, but I will have to look for The Bold and The Brave, and if I can find that I'll be able to do 1956 too.
