“We love music and our children, Caresse and Cazian, are both performing arts students at Galt, so we made the first video in one afternoon,” Comeau said of the initial post, which was shared on April 5. “We have not left our home in weeks so all wigs and costumes are items we’ve dug out of our closets. Once we put the video on Facebook, we were quite amazed with all the positive feedback we received. So many people were thanking us for giving them something to smile about and laugh at during this difficult time, and we had so many requests for us to make another video.”

Drawing on that success, the family put together a seventies mix this past weekend and published it on Monday. This time drawing on the work of Carl Douglas, ABBA, Queen, Gloria Gaynor, The Jackson 5, The Village People, The Bee Gees, Olivia Newton-john & John Travolta, and The Knack, the family can be seen dressed up again in a variety of contexts.

“We realize all these songs are copyrighted and have acknowledged the original artists in our Facebook intro,” she said. “We are just making the videos for fun and to make people happy.”
