It was another awsome concert! Smt Ponnamaal overcame her voice problem seen in carnatica concert day before yesterday, and gave a stellar performance. Each of the raga, each of the sangathi stood out. There were many songs i heard them for first time. Right from the star, to the end, the tempo was maintained. The accompanying artists ably supported well.

Crowd wasn't much, about 50 would have attended, among the attendees, Sangeetha kalanidhi T.V.Sankara narayanan and family, and hyderabad sisters.

Lucky are those 50 who savoured the divine music of Smt Ponnammal.

Thank you Hari for the list.

Hi Hari,

For her concert @ carnatica,TVS's wife,son & daughter had come.Seems TVS has high regards for PP.

About the crowd...

Once for Sandhyavandanam Srinivas's concert @ NGS mini hall (1992 or'93)10 of us were only present.The maestro came,counted and told ,"nalla koottam"(a good crowd).Probably he expected <10 and provided soul searching music.

This is just FYI.
