Some Blue Line riders to get jaunty sendoffs at start and end of their workdays

The state and Berklee College of Music say they free musical performances outside the Aquarium and Wonderland stops twice a week will help take commuters' minds off what are now regular delays due to wire inspections on top of the delays caused by all the slow zones and all the crowding caused by people who normally drive but who have to deal with the Sumner Tunnel shutdown.

Every Tuesday, starting tomorrow, through the end of August, Berklee students will perform outside Aquarium station between 5 and 6:30 p.m., "filling the atmosphere with upbeat music for all ages," the state says. Ever Wednesday, through the end of August, students will provide upbeat atmosphere filling outside Wonderland between 8 and 10 a.m.
