Very nice to know that you are doing this for Neela mami.

I don't think I will be able to attend. Best wishes for the event!

She was so nice to me. I knew her online from this forum. The first time I went to her concert (PSHS) somehow she knew I was there, and someone came and said, please come to the green room, mami wants to meet you. After that, we spoke quite a few times.

I remember one occasion at the Music Academy, In the lobby, she passed by with three or four friends. It took my slow brain a moment to realise it was her. The space was hardly short of mamis: there must have been a dozen within hearing ;), but when I called out "Mami!" She was the only one who looked around. Some sort of magic!

I had no idea of the severe health problems she had suffered in life. A fellow forum member, one day, told me something of the struggles that she had faced just for survival.

A wonderful person and a wonderful musician. We miss her so much.
