While society as a whole mourned the loss one of the coolest people on the planet, Josh Kantor paid tribute to Prince the best way he knew how. On his organ.

Kantor is the resident organist at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox started their game with the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday about a half hour after news broke that Prince, the iconic musician, had died at age 57.
And by gametime, Kantor was playing Prince songs on his organ. Various classics, one every inning. He started with “Little Red Corvette.” Here’s a fan-captured video:
The rest of Kantor’s early playlist included songs any Prince fan could sing along with:

The in-stadium DJ for the Red Sox, TJ Connelly, got involved too, playing, “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Controversy” and “I Wanna Be Your Lover.”
