one of me favs. many thanks as usual
You are very welcome owl!
What a gift this LP would have made, if someone had given it to him during his last days.
Many people used to forget while they saw Bhimsen performing in old age, that he was a real go-getter when young, and had a lifestyle that many were envious of. The story of how he ran away from home and later travelled across North India searching for a guru reads almost like a fairytale.
When I was in college in Bombay, we were lucky to have him perform at our annual music festival for several years. Once we were all talking post-concert, and he told us about how much he loved driving his car, and missed not being able to do so because of his bad health. Apparently, he was such a daredevil driver when younger, that most friends tried to somehow excuse themselves if he ever offered them a ride in his car :)
He lived a full life, in many ways. And now, he'll live on, inside each one of us. Love to you, wherever you are, panditji!
thank you for telling your little story Arvind!
so the roads are save now :)
and we'll be listening a long time...
