Just catching up on the various threads...

A non-standard neraval line used by DKJ for "Appa Rama bhakti" is "Lakshmi devi valachuna, lakshmanundu goluchuna" - just brilliant. This is from his 1979 Shanmukhananda Hall concert - a real gem of a katcheri.

I must have listened to this concert at least 500 times...(really!)

Is this type of ungrammatical splitting of words an accepted practice? Or am I just reacting to singing like this because I am so used to the SSI/MSS style?
Thanks.

A very impressive example of this (and unparallaled to my knowledge) is the SSI/MS version of tyAgayyA's magnum opus in kAmbhoji, "evarimATa vinavO rAvO". While 99.99999% of the world stops at "evarimATa", SSI quickly adds "vinavO" to every repetition. You can even hear MSS taper off at 'evarimATa" but not SSI.
