Ballrooms of Mars - Episode VI: Stripped Down, Naked & Outside (aka For Mom)

We kick off springtime in the Northwest, recording BoM on location.

That is, in the backyard.

Production quality reflects our natural surroundings, so please bear with road noise, air traffic, birds, neighbors, and as always, us.

And Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there.
