A few months ago Prasad had posted about reviving the glory of the Cubbon Park Bandstand. Several messages flowed on the message thread and then Prasad and me got talking about what/how to do this.
A decision was taken to see that something got started, even if it was a small beginning. I was there at the inaugural program that Prakruthi conducted several months ago and I was there yesterday. What started with a tiny audience now attracts thousands of enthusiasts every sunday.
Yesterday's program had a couple of Japanese performers and they were belting out kannada songs one after another like professional rock stars :-) It was amazing to watch and to listen to them. And the audiience was just enthralled by their enthusiasm and cheered them on forever.
I am glad and proud that Prakruthi has taken this step and helped revive a tradition and that BBN has in its own small way helped in this effort.
I do wish that Prakruthi takes this to a lot more people and for the BBNers who read this I have to say - if you havent been to Cubbon Park bandstand in years then do so next sunday when there will be another performance. And Im quite sure that a lot of you will then become regulars at the Bandstand on sundays.
