Sina Bagheri listens to us on WGBH in Boston. His request this week is for Iranian singer Homayoun Shajarian and a song called “Ahay Khabardar.” In Farsi, that more or less means “hey, listen up.” Sina told us that the day he wrote to us, he was feeling “cloudy, a bit sad maybe, but not angry-sad.”
