April 2025 music w/ John Baboian
Hi friends, got back from Florida last week and enjoyed some very nice warm weather during Spring Break. Now, back home to the colder weather, and to the back side of the Berklee semester. It’s going by quickly. We’ll be in Summer break before you know it.
While I was down there, was able to get to a Red Sox Spring training game. They lost 14-2 to Tampa Bay, which should have been a harbinger of things to come. The regular season opened up nicely, but it’s been a disaster since. And what’s going on with Rafael Devers? Something is causing him to not be able to hit the ball right now. I know that he will break out of it eventually, but he looks awful at the moment.
Celtics doing well.
Bruins, not so much.
Pat’s still relaxin'.
Some fun gigs this month. Hope you can join us for a gig or two.
Thanks, Johnny B!!!!!
