A couple of days ago, I told you about how the experience of telling a story on stage can feel like time travel. Often, telling a room full of people a story - even one you've told to friends 100 times before - can give you the experience of reliving whatever it is you're telling about.

I had that experience (as I told you about in Saturday's story), and I often see people have it onstage - especially at my live show, True Stories Told Live. Today's story was one of those times. Tamara Lindeman (who's a musician known as The Weather Station) was completely fine when she told me the story as I was coaching her, a few weeks before the show. But then, half-way through telling it on stage, you can see her become overwhelmed - and surprised, by the force of her emotional response. It's pretty amazing (and an INCREDIBLE story).

A quick note that we had some problems with the sound recording, so if her song at the end sounds a little odd, it's that and not her!
