Just heard that Ravi Shankar has passed away :( What a great talent that will be sadly missed.

One of my favourite records is 'Concert for Bangladesh'. The 15 minutes of applause for the introduction of Eric Clapton is epic. Would that make it to the commercial release these days?

Cheers,

wow, 92 is a pretty good innings though.
Got me wondering about Sri Chinmoi now, awesome violin player, bout the same age.

His daughter Norah Jones is great talent as well. Ravi will be missed

Back in the 60s he recorded a concert with Pete Seeger
Pure magic.
Sorely missed.
