Organist for Boston Red Sox games at Fenway Park. I also do a bunch of other music stuff.
pinned post!
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! ⚾ 🎹

That medley of Barbra Streisand's "The Way We Were" into Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling" was approximately good.

I think it would sound pretty good, but let me run it by you in a couple minutes so you can pass your own judgment.

If that wasn't one of the three all-time best extended medleys of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" into "Dancing Queen" into "Come On Eileen" into "Mr. Sandman" into "Build Me Up Buttercup" while the Fenway Grounds Crew fixed a divot on the pitchers mound, then it's back to the drawing board for me.

In my defense, that 2nd-inning medley of "Beer Barrel Polka" into Badfinger's "Baby Blue" probably wasn't gonna play itself.

The old "Happy Birthday to You" song is overplayed. Please join my grassroots movement to make "Hocus Pocus" by Focus the official new "Happy Birthday" song (alternately, Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" song would be an excellent choice).

I thought that playing "We Didn't Start the Fire" for Smokey Bear would always be my dumbest Ceremonial First Pitch joke ever, but we just had the author of "Fourth Wing" (Rebecca Yarros) and I went with "Stop Dragon [sic] My Heart Around," so there might be a new frontrunner.

I'm choosing to believe that O'Brien knew exactly what he was doing on the broadcast just now when he said, "it's brought to you by Honda, and here comes Narváez who drove one into the Monster Seats yesterday."

Recently learned that the backing vocal that's enchanted me for decades on George Harrison's "Dream Away" is by the criminally under-appreciated Syreeta Wright. Now preparing to throw several parties in commemoration of this discovery.

Glad everyone's getting to up-to-speed on learning Jhostynxon Garcia's nickname --
google.com/search?q=jho...
-- so we can move on to talk about how great his hair is (and the fact that he just slashed .303/.367/.564/.932 with 17 HR, 52 runs, and 56 RBI in 66 AAA games at age 22 before his call-up).
