GKB kriti unheard, that to in sarasAngi.

The previous day, he had given a near 3 hour concert at Brahma Gana sabhA (heard rasikapriya RTP), he started today concert with Mandaari varnam and continued the tempo till mangalam.

When KV Prasad, in mridhangam, you can bring your sleeping child to the venue. (not like arunprakash). He is intelligent and matured mridangist. Instead, I saw Guruprasanna, banging the Ganjira, thinking whether Tiruvarur bhaktavatsalam playing Ganjira, for a while.

Full marks to L.Ramakrishnan. He played superbly throughout the concert. SGC applauded along with the crowd for his Sarasaangi. (without trespassing charukesi).
