Yo-Yo Ma is here at Harvard for the week. Everyone is going crazy about it.
I don't really know anything about Yo-Yo Ma. I didn't even know he was a cellist--but I think I knew he played classical music. And I suppose I knew he wasn't a white guy, though I might not have guessed Chinese.
Since I'm in the Arts in Education program, a lot of my musician friends can't wait to see him. I don't know. I just can't get up for it. It's not like Chuck D is here or anything.
But my professor/program director knows him personally, so it's kind of funny when he refers Yo-Yo Ma by his first name, as in "I just spoke to Yo-Yo today on the phone . . . ."

I'm just ecstatic to learn that, thanks to your prof, I am now only four degrees of separation away from Yo Yo. Ma.
