Re: Guru M V Narasimhachari Dance exponent
I understand that he guided my guruji in the techniques of playing for dance in the early years of his career. I have seen him sing a couple of times, once in London, when I was still there, and, only a year or two ago, here in Chennai.
Very sad to hear of his death.

Re: Guru M V Narasimhachari Dance exponent
I attended the memorial function at Kalakshetra.
It was sombre, but also celebratory. It was beautifully produced and presented. I hardly knew Sri Narasimhachari, but I feel it was a fitting, dignified and artistic tribute.
I saw my mridanagm guruji, Balachandar, from London, a week or so previously. He told me, almost in tears, that he would not be be able to play as he does today had it not been for Narasimhachari. I have never seen him so moved except by the death of his own father. I think he had worked with him since the very beginning of his dance-accompaniment career, which means, from his very early teens.
Narasimhachari came to London BVB one year in the late '90s as a visiting teacher and spent some time with us in the mridangam class. He gave a wonderful vocal concert while he was there. It was to be just one more time, a year or two ago, that I was to see him sing again, here in Chennai. In the mean time, not being a dance goer, I had failed to keep in touch and might have been justly rebuked by him, but, after the concert, he greeted me, as a long-lost friend, with pure warmth.
