If you're at a Red Sox home game and you want to send me a song request, this is the best place to do it. If you prefer to send it via Twitter, that's okay. If you prefer to send it via some other means, I may or may not see it in time. Thanks! Let's have an awesome Red Sox season together! ⚾ 🎹

Why do I love living in Boston? Yo-Yo Ma playing the Bach cello suites before bringing Mayor Wu out to duet for an encore, that’s why.
