Sublime!
I so enjoy your blog, thank you.
Steiny
she's awesome! still a lot of sexism: people don't wanna give her props... good call.
Really happy to come across this. I always get a more visceral enjoyment from sarod than from sitar ... not that there's anything wrong with that.
Glad you're all enjoying this one. I'm conscious that posts have been thin on the ground recently; time has been a precious commodity of late. I hope to be back on track soon.
All the best,
Mr T.
