We had a long list at Sangeetham.com on this subject - I had made a copy of it - but am not able to lay my hands on it for the last several days. Does any one have a back up of it. If you do, could you please post it so that I could take a print out of the same and put it up on my billboard.

Thanks

Param

Meena (or another adminstrator)- can you please make the list a 'sticky'?

Also I noticed a number of popular current artistes (especially accompanists) are missing from the list. eg. Nagai Muraliadharan, S. Varadarajna. RK Shriramkumar.

meena · Post by **meena** » 28 Apr 2006, 08:56

mohan

Yes, when others/i complied the list on the bboard, we kept the 'current artists' out.
If u were aware was complied due to 'OLD, non-commercial recordings' that were shared on bboard. And all the abbrav. folks used drove me crazy, i had no clue.

But some current artists have made it

mohan · Post by **mohan** » 28 Apr 2006, 09:04

Ah... the fact that there were many current vocalists (and a few current accompanists) in the list confused me!
