Speaking to KFVS12 about his viral video, the singer explained the events leading up to the sweet moment.
“I was sitting in here picking the guitar ... and I didn’t really want to stop playing guitar, so I just eased her up on the guitar and started playing and she just went to sleep,” Comer said.
Comer confessed that he never expected the video to go viral. He wanted to share the video because he thought the moment was “kinda cool.”
Carrigan’s mother credited her daughter’s cuteness for the video’s success. “It’s just crazy how much people love babies, and how fast it happened, all of it,” she told the news outlet.
Mindy Comer, Comer’s mother, explained the probable reason behind Carrigan being so easily serenaded by her father’s music.
“So, she was in the womb hearing him sing her to sleep, so, on day one, he started singing to her and she would fall right to sleep," Mindy explained.
Meanwhile, the doting father stated that he cannot wait for Carrigan to grown up and see the video.
