Patriots Day


For those of you reading this who are not from Massachusetts, you may be unaware that today is Patriots Day. Yes, it is a major holiday in the Bay State and not just because schools are out and some businesses are closed. Instead, it is the annual running of the most famous and prestigous marathon in the world - The Boston Marathon. It also means a morning baseball game at Fenway Park. To celebrate the holiday, I've listed a number of my favorite songs about my birthplace and the journey to North Carolina and California.
