Date - 11th May 2008, Atlanta, USA. It was not his best concert, but 2 pieces stood out - (a) kAmAkShI swarajati in bhairavI, for the sheer pace of rendition - it was slow enough to be unparalleled in majesty (b) The RTP in gowrImanOhari in khaNDa gati Adi tALam, with a rather weird eDuppu! But yes, TMK overdoes tODi. Can't help it. It's his strength #1. He recently sang gajavadana at rAgasudha as the main piece, with swarams at the chittaswaram of the song (G, r s g r g g .....). Is that a good/bad/ugly? No idea! But it sure is *different*. How does a bEgaDa main piece with a “splendid” RTP in gowrimanOharI qualify for a TMK concert? Date - 11th May 2008, Atlanta, USA.

The three Ragam RTP-well, during the season!? Oh a bad miss. Just a few days back, got to know that TNS has sung an Ahiri RTP in the 90s but no recordings to my knowledge! :( Ahiri is one of my favourites. Sathej Ya, he did :( And I wan’t too happy with that!

Having been starving for live kutcheris for a while I went to his concert here in the US last month with full expectation of Thodi or Kalyani! Came back slightly disappointed after a Kapi main piece and Khamas RTP! I am soo jealous of all you people in Chennai :P It was totally the opposite with me!
