Shravanam again!
T V Shankaranarayanan - Chakkanirajamargamu - Kharaharapriya
This track is from a Radio concert performed by him on July 23rd 1993.
I digitised the concert. I have three more tarcks from the same.
May I humbly tell here that we were friends.
Whenever TVS Sir comes to Hyderabad, would inform me and we meet and chat about music a lot.
He came once to perform in the Vinjamuri Varadaraja Iyengar memorial series.
During the day we talked and I must have said, I like Kanada very much.
In the concert he sang a composition of Sri Iyengar, as was requested.
Then he started Kanada ragam and looked at me sitting in the wings and smiled.
Even today I feel elated to think of the moment.
Later once he performed in Music Academy one night and after the concert I went onto the stage to meet and greet him and the team.
He was visibly happy to see me there and called Sri Srimushnam and the others who were there and said, "Look! This man comes all the way from Hyderabad to listen to us!"
He was great singer and equally graet human being.
