A master sitar player and champion of Indian music, Ravi Shankar has passed. I remember his music from very long ago as a lad. And I did not realize that he was the father of Norah Jones, another artist I enjoy very much. Rest in peace, Ravi. Famed Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar dies at 92.

He had a strong connection with the Beatles. And that is where I fist heard of him. RIP Ravi. [/quote] Old James |

Fortunately as he passes over he leaves us his daughter Anoushka an accomplished player in her own right. The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes. |

I was fortunate to have seen him perform about 4 times. I truly was a master on the Sitar. He will be missed. Vedic Chant Om Asatoma Sadgamaya Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya Mrityorma Amritamgamaya O Lord! Lead us from untruth to truth Lead us from darkness to light Lead us from death to immortality |

A friend of mine is a rookie music teacher in Kansas. He posted this on Facebook the other day: In regards to Ravi Shankar's passing... Student: "Sad, he didn't even make it to Christmas." Me: "Well, seeing that he's not a Christian, I'm not sure how much that mattered to him." Student: "Not a Christian? I'm not listening to this anymore." She then proceeded to plug her ears with her fingers. Sigh... at least I can know that I'm the first person to expose these kids to this music.
