And from those origins\, we’ll explore what it REALLY is.  A better term is probably soul rock\, also called blue eyed soul\, because the genre has a delicate yet natural balance between the worlds of AOR rock radio/AM radio and 70’s R&B. \nThe significant aspect of this genre within a genre is its position in the vocabulary of crossover and cultural reference\, and an undeniably positive and lasting connection across the American racial divide. It was embraced by many\, and derided by few\, and it dominated the AOR and AM airwaves when radio was king. \nThe panel discussion will dig deeper into the significance of soft rock in the African American community\, peppered with anecdotes and stories about legends like Steely Dan\, Michael McDonald/The Doobie Brothers\, Kenny Loggins\, Hall & Oates and Bobby Caldwell as well as lesser known artists like Ned Doheny\, Pages\, Player\, Ambrosia and The Little River Band\, with an additional focus on prominent soul artists who covered this music\, often elevating it dramatically. \nHow did this unique blend of soul and rock manage to appeal to the masses without crying out cultural appropriation? Was this a reaction to the revolution of the 60’s and massive exhaustion post-Watergate? Or an escape (if you like pina coladas…)? \nP.S. How and why did yachts get involved in this discussion?? \nCome with friends\, or come alone — Lazy Daze afternoons are an opportunity to relax\, lay out\, and do not too much of anything\, while a rotation of DJ’s do their thing in the background. We’re taking lazy Sundays very seriously\, creating moments for good vibes and good people. Bring a picnic blanket – guests are kindly reminded that chairs and dogs are not allowed on the lawn. Food and drink will be available for sale by Fornino. This event is free. \nOnly adults 21 and over may purchase alcohol\, which must be consumed on site. No outside alcohol or glass bottles will be permitted.  \nFor event updates and announcements\, subscribe to our email and socials (Twitter\, Facebook\, Instagram).

We also identify\, count\, and measure each organism we catch before releasing it back into the estuary.  \n \n \n \n What does the Conservancy do with the community science data it collects? \n \n The data collected helps us understand the health and biodiversity of the East River estuary. We share this information with partner scientists and organizations\, such as the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation\, who are also conducting research and collecting data from our waterways. We also use our findings to educate Brooklyn Bridge Park visitors through new and engaging programming.  \n \n \n \n How do I stay safe at Pier 4 Beach? \n \n Despite daily cleaning by Brooklyn Bridge Park staff\, debris and other sharp objects do make their way to Pier 4 Beach. Avoid injuries by wearing shoes at all times while on the beach. \n \n \n \n Can I go into the water? \n \n Only authorized staff\, volunteers and partner scientists are authorized to go into the water during the program. Wading and swimming in the water is prohibited at all times.  \n \n \n \n How can I seine in the East River? \n \n Adults ages 18+ can sign up to be a volunteer seiner at upcoming public and school programs – learn more about our volunteer program!
