Mohan,
Good to know that your family is once again busy over that special day to fondly remember dear GBL(Gobilalitha). If I'm in Chennai that day, I want to be there at least for part of the all day program when you celebrate your father's love for music.

I hope to be in Chennai on Dec 26 and will try to attend early part of the meet, especially to meet fellow rasikas. I will need some information about the exact location, since I am not very familiar with Chennai.

Just saw your mail .

chandrajith in on face book . He could help locate the harmonium artist as well .
I dont know any others.
To suit vocalists , you may have to look out in Bengaluru and get them for the day to Chennai. That is the way it goes for all HM artists who dont insist on their own teams . Katoti , vysamurthy Katti ... for harmonium , Ravindra Yavagal and others for tabla.

Paw to shake hands with--
Stripe on his shirt--
Speed in fleeing the scene
Eye for studying sheeple
Music life, musicians his business
Mind so swift, stinging too!
Pounce like a tiger, sting like a bee

Don't trust the paw of a tiger. Doggies like to shake hands; cats like to scratch!
