Good Morning from Sangeet. Ram is the host today. Yes, it is rainy outside. Time for that favorite morning drink of yours and stay indoors and listen to some nice music

Good morning Ram - enjoying your show

Good Morning, MC. Thanks for dropping in.

Good morning Ram! Thanks for the excellent music this morning.

Good Morning, Addie. Glad you are enjoying today's program

I am so happy that these 1902 or later recordings were preserved for us to enjoy

Just dropping by briefly to say good morning to everyone! I've been tuned in since before the show, but not feeling talkative still. I'll be falling asleep to the final hour of the program, one more night of work later on. Have a good day everyone 🥱😁

Sleep well, TAndy! 😴

Good Morning, Tandy. Thanks for dropping in. May this music lull into sound sleep.

Get some good rest, TAndy.

Good morning DJ Ramaprasad, DTO, & all 👋 I've been enjoying this special program this morning.

Good Morning, Christine. Thanks for being in the chat room Glad to know you are enjoying today's program

According to Discogs, Priya Purushothaman is also the vocalist with an avant-garde jazz group Spinifex.

She is very talented. Knows Carnatic music too. That jazz may fit into your Friday program

I will check it out. She collaborated on their "Veiled" release from 2015.

Sounds like a possible for an upcoming New Abnormal, @DTO.

Dave, you heard that again

I'm on it. Count on hearing something from that CD this Friday.

Text me the approximate time, please

I'll let you know. Still preparing.

Eminent musicians have sung Indira Natesan's compositions. But there is hardly any biographical information about her. I am not happy at this situation

Wow, this Shashwati Mandal is incredible

Excellent show, Ram & Team Sangeet!

Good Morning, Dan. Yes. She is. There is so much new and young emerging talent

Good Morning, jimbeaux, Thanks for dropping in. Glad you liked it.

Thanks, DJ Ramaprasad & the Sangeet team 🙏

My pleasure, Christine

C major scale. Can be played with western instruments

Thanks MC, Addie, Tandy, DTO, Christine, Dan and jimbeaux for dropping in here today. Have a nice week. Don’t forget to spring forward 😂
