A great site about Carnatic music from Mysore!

Dear friends
Please visit this blog:

This captures the reminiscences of Sri K. Srikantiah, the famous lawyer in Mysore who organized hundreds of concerts over decades for all to enjoy, and provided unforgettable hospitality to all the greats of Carnatic music, as well as those from the Hindustani fraternity and also movie legends like RajKumar and Amitabh Bacchan.

The music excerpts I heard from Lalgudi ( the great rendering of Raa Raa Raajeevalochana) and also the songs of Lakshmi Shankar are still ringing in my ears. More to come I am sure!
