January 2025! Music w/ John Baboian
Hi friends, Happy New Year!! Time is certainly flying by. 2024 was not the best of times for the Baboian clan as we lost our Mom Ruby, and our dog Jazmine, within months of each other. Hopfully, 2025 is a better year.
Hope you all had a great holiday season. And thanks to those that sent Birthday messages. Much appreciated.
We still have Armenian Christmas to celebrate on January 6, so it’s not quite over yet.
Looks like we might miss most of the big storm that is supposed to be heading across the country. Fingers crossed…….
In sports, the Pat’s look awful. Maye needs a team around him. Hopefully, they can upgrade at several positions in the draft. At the moment, they will have the first pick in the draft. To quote a good old Red Sox saying…..”Wait till next year”
Celtics and Bruins looking good so far.
And the Sox spring training starts next month. They appear to have upgraded at pitcher over the holidays.
After a very busy December, a bit of a lighter January, so a chance to rest a bit as the new semester starts at Berklee.
Still some fun gigs to be had. Hope you can join us for a gig of two.
Thanks, Johnny B!!!!!
