That time of year again: Who will be sangeetha kalanidhi?

[VK RAMAN]

Let their image of 50s and 60s continue to be our impression;

[thanjavooran]

No point tracing Radha and J. When I last saw them, more than a decade ago, one was very sick and the other sick. Let us, as their good rasikas, wish them health and happiness irrespective of their SK status.

Yes . let us pray for their welfare. One cannot forget their quick rendering of kritis in succession without gap.

Nice video clip of the vidushis on youtube: http://youtu.be/a25osFeLkgM
Apparently from the early 80s.

There are a few more available at youtube.

Btw, anyone know where the Soolamangalam sisters are today? They were also on the musical scene a few decades ago.
Here's a nice video clip of them: http://youtu.be/QoUk3yyhO5I

sangeetha kalanidhi Aruna Sairam.

Harimau will explode. It would be like Chenobyl, but much worse.

That's what we thought, but we didn't even hear a roar...

[rshankar]

Maybe because he’s imploded?

[SrinathK]

Probably he gathered so much ammo that it collapsed and imploded into a black hole...so no trace of the blast got out?

Including this one, revived from 2010, we have three (or more?) threads on SK now.
This one brings back the old times, up to post #79. We still miss ragam_talam and Vijay. As for Sam Swaminathan, it's sad to think that he's no more. Now that brother MAE is going to be honored by his students, admirers and family next month, his absence is felt even more...
