I think that Harry Manx and Derek Trucks should play together.

I love Indian music and I love the blues, and I adore Harry Manx´s mixing of the two.

Harry Manx should record with Leonard Cohen. I would love to see that show!

the traditions of this music are like a great broad river made up of the connecting lives of so many many players..it is that each of us has but two ears and so few years to grasp this...here's me bus

Wow, absolutely true. 200% accurate. I'm partly Indian myself (Anglo-Indian) and i play Jazz guitar, have done since 1969. I cant claim to have the patience necessary to listen to huge amounts of Indian music but that's MY problem. The CD "Calcutta Slide Guitar" shows how close the Mohan Vina can sound to Delta Blues.

A very haunting, spooky, CD..similar in places to Blind Willie Johnsons "Dark Is The Night".

Thanks for the message.

Yes, I agree that the world is regrettably ignorant as regards Indian music. Most people outside of India think (as you said) that Bollywood music is the only type of Indian music, and do not even suspect that there exists an absolutely wonderful (and astonishingly profuse) musical universe which is called Indian classical music. (That is not to disparage Bollywood music, which in its heyday (50´s, 60´s and 70´s) was wondrous, but people should broaden their musical horizons.)

Same here...a haunting type of music. Most think Bollywood Music is the only Indian music.(LOL) Harry Manx is like a present day John Coltrane the way he's fused East with West. Ry Cooder did it also back in the 90s. Derek Trucks is following on with it...keeping the 1969 retro feel going.
