Thanks mate! What a Kapi! in 2001 as your post says. He was not with us in May 2002. What an irrepairable loss! My eyes, poignant, as my mind wallows in the standards that he is setting out, the seeking for the perfect note, the glide, the delineation of Rishabha from the Gandharam... As he improvises in the tara shayi, the audience breaks into applause at one point.....The blend of aggression and sowkyam.... Long live mate, for the Degree Coffee! :)

Is Ghatam by Sivaramakrishnan? I haven't heard a mridangam vidwan by that name :-)
