We’ve just learned who the Rock & Related Nominations are for the upcoming 2019 Grammy Awards and since this stuff is always a good talking point, I’ve presented the few categories that our readership would be more interested in.

I had joined my friend Skeleton Pete for a free show at Prospect Parks Bandshell that featured the one and only David Byrne. The musician is most commonly known as the leader of the Talking Heads and this solo adventure would find him presenting music that he recorded with the legendary Brian Eno. The performance and experience was discussed on THIS LINK. Now please enjoy a number of photos that were captured from my seat with the trusty Olympus Digital Camera.
Tonight would be the grand opening concert of the summer season for the Prospect Park Bandshell which is referred to as “Celebrate Brooklyn” when they do this sort of thing. It’s a fantastic series of free summer concerts that not only brings the music fans together but does something cool for the community around it. This season would start things off properly by having the event feature none other than former Talking Heads front man David Byrne.

Of course, knowing me, I was surely going to use some of the experiences that went down for the Musings Blog since this kind of thing fits in this area very well.
