Attack of the Vidwans and Vidushis, eh?

It would be easy to run one's eye down the names without the unnecessary salutations. Not a big deal.

Thanks for the listing, it is much appreciated. I especially hope to see R.A. Ramamani's performance, as I was very struck by her voice on a CD recording some time back, but have never seen her sing.

Edited that Nick. Had copied that from the invitation!! Do post a review of Ramamani's concert in case you attend it. Will appreciate that.

Thanks, it does make it easier to read --- although it is a sensitive subject for some.

I will post about the concert if I attend it, although it will be just another of my subjective commentaries. I am not up to song lists and proper technical criticism!

I have a "variety" CD from the Karnataca College of Percussion people, River Yamuna, and her performance of Raga Sudha (probably mis-spelt, sorry) on that recording I have always found very striking. Her konnakal performance is impressive too.

If folks do not know, Ramamani is mrudangist T.A.S.Mani's wife. Their son plays percussion too, if I am not mistaken.

Phew!

I thought for a minute you said that Ramamani was the mridangist, and I'd got the names mixed up.

I've certainly made sillier mistakes!

But you didn't and I hadn't.

I see he is playing on the 28th, so might make a musical weekend of it.

Nick,
The information was for those who did not know it.
When it comes to mistakes, you have to allow more for me because I ain't no spring chicken

Arasi... I always regard you as a youngster, believe it or not, and meeting you did nothing to dispel that impression.

I'm the doddery one!

Ah! As long as there are youngsters around us who make us old timers feel young! Thanks Nick!
