Mr Veeraraghavan

Did Mr Krishana have any concerts prior to this date in US with the same accompaniments? If you have any info on it, I would very much appreciate if you can advise me on this? Thanks

No Mr Swaminathan, I don't have any info. In fact I think Vinod Seetharaman is a student @ some university in Michigan. Not sure if he even participates in many concerts.
