At Ayyappan Puja Sangam, Coimbatore
====================================
2nd day concert
Vid Ramakrishnan Murthy
Vid R K Shriram Kumar
Vid N C Bharadwaj
Vid B S Purushothaman
There was a 15 min delay in kickstart to this concert thanks to traffic jam. Yes we do have such traffic hiccups in tier 3 cities too
Excellent 3 hour concert from RKM. Missed him last week here and he told me he is coming again on 15th to CBE.
I had a train at 9 so planned to attend only for an hour so. Thanks to train being delayed 2 hours I could attend this concert in full. Being a frequent traveller almost every 72 hours, for once I didnt complain about the train delay
All the 3 alApanas were very good. Thodi was exceptional. He sang a detailed tAnam and the pallavi was very short, swaramalilka phase was brilliant.
His Guru RKSK at his best all through.
One of the best tani i heard of late and vouched by rasikas post concert in person.
Now I have to follow RKM at Gayana Samaja Annual Festival in October
