[sankirnam]

thanks very very much for this review, ramaprasad

Radha aunty was my first guru in carnatic music, her teaching methods were very innovative, keeping with her guru Kalyanaraman's nature, and her music is exactly like Kalyanaraman's

thanks again, it means a lot to me to read about how well this concert went...

[Ramaprasad]

You are very welcome, Sankirnam. I can only describe the concert. I wish you were there to really soak in and enjoy the music of your guru.
