It is surprising to see that there is no thread in this section for this great artist.
I have seen him performing only on TV. His vibrant playing style, his trademark vibhuthi and kumkum, his facial expressions, the numbers of laya accompaists are something very unique. I request informed persons on this forum to share their knowledge about musical life.

Shocked by the sudden demise of the Kunnakudi mama, I was curious to find about him in Vidwans and Vidushis section of this forum.
Unfortunately, I could not find it and so started a new thread. I am aware that there is condolence thread
in the General discussions section. I was wondering if we could do a bit - like discussing about his
musical journey than just offereing condolences.

Very infectious enthusiasm... His music exudes Joy!!! (In the happy songs which I mostly listen to)
I am a huge fan of his music. The spirit with which he plays brings out his deep love for the instrument, a child like enthusiasm and joy.
Very often, I could not supress smiling or becoming happy when I listen to his music . I mostly avoid listening to the melancholy songs of his.just as a policy, as In my mind, I always percieve him as a happy jolly musician. (Same with Rajesh vaidhya- I understand some of you may not draw that same comparison)

You can watch his videos on You tube, and hopefully , many will agree with my view on his enthusiasm, energy and Joy!!!

I like your attitude towards music, vallaki. Quite a refreshing change to the sometimes high-brow attitude a lot of us rasikas take.

KV was indeed my launch pad for getting involved in CM

Mannil Intha kAthalanri - SPB- Illayaraja.

In the above link kunakkudi vaidyanathan plays the famous spb-illayaraja song mannil intha kaathalanri in breathless fashion . Just few questions for few violin vidwans here etal .....
@violinlover @ajaisimha @satvio09
1. Is that clip where kunnakudi playing breathless starting 01:20 a fake ?

2. Is it some thing very easily by few vidwans/vidushis like you and you just did not try this that is all to it. I am assuming MSG , LGJ,MC,AK can do zillion things more than him and even vidwans of today like you can easily do it . Is that a fair statement.
