Welcome to a very special and surprise episode of the Juice Box Podcast.

I've got a little something for you for Christmas.

So bear with me for one second.

I'll tell you a little bit of a story.

Then I'll get you your gift. I had begun to imagine the

podcast back at the end of 2014. I started by trying to teach myself about

recording equipment and producing audio, microphones,

and feel like I did an okay job back then,

but I'm definitely still getting better at it

as time goes on.

One thing I got 100% right back then in 2014,

as I reached out to a friend named Rob Mueller.

And I asked Rob if his nine-year-old daughter,

Sydney, would consider making me a theme song for my podcast.

A few weeks later, Sidney began to write and perform, and eventually she came up with this

terrific theme that we use every week on the podcast.

After we had the theme in place, I needed music for ads,

and Sydney came through again. Since the podcast is now five years old you know what that means right?

Sydney is 14 and she's still making music. As a matter of fact the other day I heard

Sydney singing have yourself a Merry Little Christmas

and it made me reach out to her and her father to see if they'd be willing to share

it here with you guys for Christmas. very kindly they've agreed to let me play it right now for you.
