The Chicago Cubs are trying to bring back some happiness to their surrounding neighborhood.
On Friday night, they played live organ music at Wrigley Field to try to bring back some normalcy to the baseball area. The Cubs talked about the subject of organ music during a conference call to season ticket holders on Thursday. "After receiving feedback from neighbors that they miss the activity and buzz around the ballpark that Cubs baseball provides, we thought this would be a nice thing to do to bring some energy back to the neighborhood. We hope they enjoy the music, and it provides some comfort during a difficult time as we head into the weekend. "Tonight's organ music will be played by John Benedeck. He is one of the three rotating organists we will have entertaining fans at Wrigley Field when baseball resumes." The neighborhood has been a little quiet lately. We wanted to help with that. ?? pic.twitter.com/BoCtvUBRf4

@Cubs We can hear the organist from our rooftop and it makes us so happy to hear the sounds of Wrigley Field again!
@Cubs Thanks for giving us a little organ concert, even though we don’t have baseball.? Gave me a little smile today while walking the dog. pic.twitter.com/2F1j9ymM2c

Seriously wish these seats were filled, but seeing everyone gathered (safely) outside the confines was the next best thing. Wrigley is alive folks.
Lindsay Foreman and Josh Langhoff coming up in the next couple of weeks. @Cubs pic.twitter.com/fQsUi0UxeT
