thanks for starting this thread, Mohan.
I have never heard Sri Harihara Subramania Iyer live, but have only heard great things about him as a musician, scholar and teacher.

I am told that Kum. Nandini (featured in this video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsFGFSw3-FU) is his grand daughter. Nandini has been a contestant on several TV based Carnatic contests and hence may already be familiar to some.

Smt Bhamah
We hardly know much about each of your gurus. We would not know what to ask rather you can possibly put your experiences directly .
You can possibly start on golden girl, how she was a sishya to semmangudi ,interesting anecdotes of her anthakAlathu tutelage with Semmangudi mAmA , her experience of fighting /overcoming and getting into concert stage in a very male dominated CM , and may be a bit later on how she teaches music. Take your time and just few great posts about Smt Golden Girl to start with would be lovely.
