Venkatakailasam - you have merely repeated info in my first post with the link -- the start of this thread! What was the need? I began this thread looking for additional inputs.

Cienu, thanks for the HM artist additions - would be nice to get audio/video clips for these.

Punarvasu, Chitra's daughter was a blessing after many years of waiting. The pic is more moving after the child's drowning accident

African singers visiting Sai Baba - they keep taalam too, their way.

Thanks to Cienu, I found this gem.

A very enthused Bhimsen Joshi singing in Kannada, Tappu Nodade Bandeya Appa Thiru Venkatesha - bhajan. Beautiful, enjoyed by Sai Baba and MSS in audience.

My search is leading me to interesting avenues.



Walter Maynard Ferguson, Jazz Trumpet player (May 4, 1928 – August 23, 2006 )

An excerpt from
http://sathyasaibaba.wordpress.com/2008 ... -ferguson/

....
Following the path taken by many important jazz artists in the 1960s, Ferguson left the United States in 1968. Feeling that he needed a period of spiritual exploration, Ferguson moved with his family to India and taught at the Krishnamurtl-based Rhishi Valley School near Madras. He was associated with the Sri Saithys Sai Institute of Higher Learning’s Boys Brass Band, which he founded and help teach for several years. Whilst in India, Ferguson was impacted by Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi, whom he considered as his spiritual guru.

This was a fantastic piece.
The person next to MSS is Parveen Sultana.
