A few weeks ago, after an all-day board meeting, a group of us walked out of our hotel and past another on Shelter Island, San Diego. People had brought their camping chairs, parking themselves on the public greenbelt. Why? I wondered--then realized to listen to the music that wafted out of the concert venue, free of charge. David Byrne was performing, that very moment! I pointed this out to my companions.
Who? They said.
WHO? I said. Ever hear of the Talking Heads?
No.
For those of you who
are familiar with this fellow, you may not know he broadcasts a play list he composes, new each month. You can find it
here. I've enjoyed going through the archives, just to see what music tickles this musician, and see if I recognize a few of my own favorites.
I love Humphreys . . . time for a trip to SD.
ReplyDeleteYou're quick, Bec!
ReplyDeleteMajor Byrne fan. He did a great compilation of Brazilian music, back in the 90's, I think. Will definitely check your link.
ReplyDeleteTo not know of David Byrne is to be missing out.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. I biggafied. Across the way from my sister in Point Loma.
ReplyDeleteremember that 2 piece suit he made out of astro turf?
ReplyDeleteI was really shocked they didn't know him, they were my contemporaries, or older, and I came late to Talking Heads and Astroturf, lucky sister, PA to be living in that part of the world--
