Rajesh,
Thank you for the review and the post-script of the 'choice of songs':)
I heard 'ghana naya dESika' for the first time from Sanjay and loved rishabhapriya. Also heard him sing an RTP in the rAgA.
Nice to hear of Ram's playing. Hope to catch his performance in the near future.

Just forgot to mention about KP nandini's play, she supported very ably and definitely gelled with both of them. I liked her madhyamAvati main play the most.

I can't give too detailed but I know that one of the daughters toured in the US with Ramji's group two years ago. I googled and found the bio below (keep in mind its for one of the two sister), Sudha, who I think is older.

She is a disciple of Smt. Lalitha Raghavan a renowned Grade-1 violinist of AIR. She is the daughter of the popular Vocalists Mayavaram Sisters. Her mother Geetha is the elder of the two sisters and has also trained her in singing (performing with her sister as Aiyyar Sisters). Today she accompanies various Senior Vidwans and Vidushis in this young age. She got 'Sangeetha Baskara Award' . She has also won the Lalgudi Gopala Iyer scholarship in the Gokulastami Series conducted by the Sri Krishna Gana Sabha. She has also had the credit of singing before the President of India Dr.A.P.J.ABDUL KALAM at the Rashtrapathi Bhavan -Delhi. Recently she won the pallavi competition conducted by Shanthi Arts Foundation And Endowments. She has also received the CCRT scholarship, for violin, from the Government of India.
