Re: Evolving a different kutcheri format
I remember my father and his CM friends did not at all like BMK and they used to criticize him for mixing South Indian and Hindustani raagas. Probably BMK was in his 40s. Now I see several of our rasikas disliking abhangs being sung in the CM concert. Why do not we go back to the puritanical carnatic music; just kirtanams RTP, thani and no abhangs, bhajans or tukkadas.

Re: Evolving a different kutcheri format
I agree with slow change! And I would like to hear the music of MKR's household-appliance chorus 
Having been to a Hindustani concert this evening, I can say that a very valid "format" is to jump in the deep end with the "main" longest piece, and work "down" from there. Although I dislike, in principle, the idea of walking out of a concert in progress, unless one had no choice but to attend only part, I do think, though, that the HM format has walking out built into it too ... not after the tani, but at the point at which people don't want to get any lighter. Tonight, my wife wanted to go home after the first two pieces (main and submain, I suppose) and I could have done without the last two.
