I have seen Sri Rajagopalan many times at concerts but didn't know him personally. So, unable to write about him.

Just happened to notice the sad demise of Garland Rajagopalan. He was a very good friend of my late Father K.S.Mahadevan, My father had attended/presided over some of his books launchings. He was kind enough to give my father all his works. I have used them as references for many of my postings in the forum. My father was simply in awe of him and as his won't always lamented the fact that he should have been. recognized more by the Music Community in Chennai. Each biography of anybody who happened to be in the Carnatic scene was succinct with valuable insights.(In one of my posts on SSI, in response to a query by one of the forumites on Gottuvadyam Sakhara Rama Rao,I had drawn extensively fro his works. That was work of a lifetime an epitome for his passion and tenacity.
May his soul rest in peace.
