Yes, that is the riff from “Sabotage” during the “how to be a train” lesson at the start. Camera by Liam:

Some folks couldn’t get into the sold-out show, including this very sweet four-year-old who came all the way from Albany (if I heard right). So Liz & Daniel sang some songs at the merch table, including this one. It’s a lovely moment and worth your time:

That’s what music for families can be, folks.  Do that.

See you at 1 for the Elizabeth Mitchell show at the Eric Carle Museum!
