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! ⚾ 🎹

10 years ago today: at my 2nd-ever European gig -- in front of 300 people, in the Arctic Circle -- I got to play "When the Levee Breaks" with John Paul Jones and the absolutely wonderful Mike Mills, Steve Wynn, Linda Pitmon, Scott McCaughey, and Kurt Bloch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bKc...
