Just saw this, Mohan!
Eleventh year, you say! Has it been that long? The entire family has been making SKB (GBL)'s soul very happy with the care and planning you invest in, bringing a variety of artistes--seniors and youngsters too to pay homage to him!

Panthula Rama's student as well, this year! Please bring her gurus (wife and husband )next year, when I am hoping to be there. You might have tried to get them this year, is my guess.

Anyhow, the whole day will be a swinging musical day of warmth--the family offering rasikas a special day of musical treat of variety with hospitality to boot. I miss being there. Better luck next year for me. Of course, I will listen to the concerts when you bring them to us and hopefully with Nick's pictures too!

[Nick H]

I will certainly be there for at least part of the day

@arasi
sorry for the delayed reply.
We look forward to your company next december and I hope you can watch this years concerts online.

Being an ardent fan of BMK I couldn't miss the opportunity to invite Ramya Chaganti directly based on a BMK concert she had given.

Incidentally, I requested she sing "ElE pAlilpa jAlamu" in kAmbhOji. If you haven't heard it please tune in on 31st. Of course, there are some amazing BMK recordings of this kriti. I also requested "BhAvamE mahA BhAgyamurA" where BMK describes his lineage.

@Nick H

Will be great to see you on 31 December
