I use to have a cassette where he dicussed the technical features of and played various ragas. I like his daughter too:


I'm also a huge fan of sitar music, the drone strings provide such a cool ambience. Its affected the way I play guitar as well, I find I use a lot of two-string combos where I use one string as a drone.
