The Boston "Pops" is the Boston Symphony Orchestra's summer orchestra featuring light, classical music. The "Pops" plays outdoor at the "Hatch Shell" in downtown Boston along the Charles River, and also at Tanglewood in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts.

Before renown from film compositions (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc), John Williams was the conductor of the Pops for fifteen years.
The Pops have sold more commercial recordings than any orchestra in the world.

For twenty three years I had the perfect pied a terre a stone-throw from the Hatch Shell and could just open the window to fill the room with music. I miss it as I write here in Miami- but I don't miss Nov-Mar, lol!

Happy Fourth of July!
