All the giants are slowly fading...No one around to replace them...

... He will be missed. So many were touched by him and are not aware of it.
He was a special individual in both musical and Spiritual aspect. I was fortunate enough to actually meet him and have a chat over Tea once through another less known Indian Gentleman ... Tariq. We spoke of nothing but everything.

Ravi Shankar huge influence on me from seeing the Monterey Pop festival film, and his appearances on some of the TV shows of the era ... Smothers Brothers Show, Dick Cavett Show. His drummer's, Alla Rakha Khan, jaw dropping tabla solos certainly increased the mind blowing effect of it all!

And he also left us his daughter Anoushka who carries on the legacy in the tradition of classical Indian music.

Anoushka is awsome. I've studied some of her videos...She's a world class musician, just like her father was.
