Having a 2 year old daughter who loves musicals and dancing doesn't help either. For example, this episode was recorded in my 100* Kansas garage. It was the only quiet place. That explains why my computer sounds like it was about to take off. In case you were wondering. Regardless, thank you as always! #LOWSIDE
