Typical Maharajapuram song list. Mohana Kalyani was nicely sung. Thodi again was good and the Sivan's song is new to me. Nicely rendered. Then the surprise, Mohanam alapana. Mohana Kalyani & Mohanam? Ahh well, I like both ragas and I love both from this school, so no complaints from me! Mohanam was the standout, the neraval thani was all nicely co-ordinated and well done, was lovely to hear.

The one thing that actully irrritated me with GV' singing was the unnecessary brigas in *every* song, some of them are so artifical and doesn't feel or fall right. Didn't happen in Nannu Palimpa though!

Anyways, all in all, a good concert. Thanks as ever to Arkay Ramakrishnan.
