jimbooooo 9:16:27 AM
Good morning! 🌸🌺🏵️💮
Sangeet Team (host) 9:17:43 AM
Good morning @Jimbooooo
TAndy 9:19:05 AM
Hey hey Rungun and Jimboo. Rarely enough, I am going to be awake for the full show!
jimbooooo 9:19:28 AM
TAndy howdeeeeee
Sangeet Team (host) 9:20:26 AM
Welcome @TAndy and howdee. So glad you can be up for the whole show. Looking forward to your company
TAndy 9:22:49 AM
Likewise! Hearing your music selections and fervent enthusiasm is always such a treat.
Sangeet Team (host) 9:24:47 AM
Thanks TAndy - will try to live up to your expectations...
TAndy 9:26:09 AM
Trust me, you don't have to try. You just do. :)
Swami Begur 9:27:41 AM
Hi Rungun ! Welcome back!! Good morning. Great start with some familiar and all time fantastic music!
Sangeet Team (host) 9:28:52 AM
Thanks TAndy
Sangeet Team (host) 9:29:28 AM
Oh What a surprise @Swami - welcome to the chat and thanks. Thanks for promoting Sangeet
Swami Begur 9:49:12 AM
Wow! What a fantastic piece! A legend Zakir Hussain calls John a “Legend!”
Sangeet Team (host) 9:52:32 AM
Zakir was a nobel soul in so many ways and a very very humble person. When was accompanying others, he really took that role and when he was the lead he gave credit to everyone on stage. (I did live sound for him a few times - a great person to work with)
TAndy 10:15:19 AM
That live recording was indeed great to hear. There's something special about hearing a crowd's reactions captured in the moment.
Sangeet Team (host) 10:20:38 AM
So true TAndy. So whenever I have live recordings I like to play to the end to capture how the audience reacted :-)
Swami Begur 10:54:10 AM
Saketharaman is such a great sender! Thanks for playing him, Rungun!
Sangeet Team (host) 10:56:07 AM
I know - I discovered him when he came here for a tour some years ago Swami
Sangeet Team (host) 10:56:55 AM
You will love the next piece a lot - you and I have talked about it @Swami - It is a jugalbandhi!!
N Begur 11:19:14 AM
My fave today was Samajavaragamana. Thanks for the treasure trove of music
TAndy 11:25:46 AM
I may actually take a very short power nap, so thank you in advance, Rungun! I'm keeping my radio on, this Shankar & Rakha-Khan piece is just mesmerizing. Stay safe out there :)
Sangeet Team (host) 11:26:27 AM
Thanks @N Begur and welcome to the show. Ustad Zakir and Kunnakudi are great. I love how Kunnakudi plucks the strings of the violin like a guitar and makes it so much part of the instrument. I have not seen other violinist do the same.
Sangeet Team (host) 11:27:17 AM
@TAndy - happy power nap. I am sure the next two pieces will be soothing you as you nap
Swami Begur 11:36:28 AM
Rungun / Sangeet Team : have you thought of making these weekly recordings available on YouTube or some other platform so it can be played on demand? I love the Saturday morning shows. But it will be a pleasure to go back to the archives as well and play previous sessions too!
Sangeet Team (host) 11:39:10 AM
I will propose it to the board. They have not done it at all and I have no idea why @Swami
Sangeet Team (host) 11:57:06 AM
Bye all - see you next week for Sangeet again
