Sincere condolences.
I believe he was also the initial guru of Vidushi A. Kanyakumari.

Condolences to his family and sishya parampara . What a great guru he was in producing so many good musicians - a great loss to the music lovers and also for all the budding musicians from vizag belt.
I just googled to find him playing for varaali http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeIRcAbs_1I with his student sudha rani.

I am extremely sorry to know about the demise of a great teacher and performer. Smt.V.Kanyakumari was also his disciple. I had met this maestro and interacted with him at Vishakapatnam. I cherish those times and the discussions.

What an inspiring guru, and what shining students! Their very words and their own merits are testimony enough to his teaching.

It is indeed a significant loss to the music world. He was a quality artiste and a solid pillar of culture in the Vishakhapatnam area. He made a huge impact as a guru and performer. On a personal note, I have very warm memories of him accompanying me in my vocal concerts at Vizac and Vizianagaram when I was about 7 years old. I had a 103 degree fever in the latter concert but his wonderful accompaniment ensured that the 3-hour concert did not get adversely impacted. He accompanied my father also in an AIR concert and had us over for an excellent lunch at his house!
