My father played the sitar. Wonder where his sitar is now? Must check. Also played piano, guitar (acoustic), clarinet, fife, wax-paper covered comb and any musical instrument he laid his hands on really. Thought he could sing. Nobody’s perfect.
A young then friend of mine (my flattie’s friend) played sitar, Voice. He was a solo dad in southern Queensland and took all our kids (4 under 5) to the circus with his kids. 🙂
Lovely music, just heard some on ABC, Yehudi Menuhin thought listening to Ravi Shankar was like going upstream and discovering the place we all came from…or something in that vein…
Afterwards more pleasure, Sicilian singing, real heart and soul music, I feeling better for it.

Saw him live in London with the whole symphony orchestra conducted by Andre Previn. It was fantastic.
