The Early Word: Congrats, Camille Yorrick
Local music producer proves it's enough to be nominated.
1. With news Saturday of the sudden death of Whitney Houston, it was a tragic weekend for many music lovers. But at last night's Grammy Awards presentation—which included a musical tribute to the power of Houston's legendary voice by Jennifer Hudson—there were at least a few good developments. That list included the nomination of Fort Greene music producer Camille Yorrick for her work on Beyonce's "I am... World" TV special. And though Yorrick didn't take home a trophy, it goes without saying that we're all really proud of our very own Brooklyn emissary to Hollywood. Congrats, Camille!
2. Author Susan Cain, an expert on introversion and shyness, discusses her new book, "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking." Greenlight Bookstore, 686 Fulton St. 7:30 p.m.
3. With an emphasis on allowing practitioners to go at their own pace, this is a donation-based yoga class, right here in our own backyard. Brooklyn Free School, 372 Clinton Ave. 6:45 p.m.
4. An early jazz, swing, and blues band, The Blue Vipers of Brooklyn play a repertoire of witty songs from 1920s and 30s along with their original works. Chez Oskar, 211 Dekalb Ave. 8 p.m.
5. Alternate side parking rules are suspended today in observance of President's Day. Parking meters must still be paid.
