All Boston songs are fairly difficult to translate to the stage. None of them are especially easy to play or sing.

Victorian racehorse owners frequently named their horses after murderers. That was so astonishing.

One of the greatest guys I've ever played with. He really opened up to us and was one of the guys. He treated us all like professionals. He talked strategy a little bit, pitchers that he had faced and knew, or pitchers I faced. He'd just sit there in the dugout and talk baseball.
