Sukumar Prasad

[Gamakam]

I've been wanting to start this thread for more than a month now. To be precise - from the time I listened to concert of his, thanks to facebook and sangeethapriya.

Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukumar_prasad has some info on him and Guitar Prasanna acknowldges him as the one who introduced "carnatic guitar".

People of my generation have hardly come across this name. It will be great if rasikas can throw more light on this pioneer. Can he be located now? Will it be possible to interview him?

Wondering if any one would know his where abouts.
