Lokanatha Sarma's voice took a while to settle and at times, h. He sang elaborate neravals for the three songs parsing out the words individually. I remember reading a review of his Rasikas concert about that style of singing. I left the concert after the Varali alapana for Vedavalli @ Nada Inbam. About 40-50 member audience was there for the concert.

Mridangist was K. Ashok - from the palani school. Son and disciple of Vidwan. K.S. Kalidas. I too left after the varali Ragam for Vid. Vedavalli's concert. I enjoyed the concert - nice nervalas and very reposeful singing.
