Having had access to the internet since the early days of the eighties,(I got my first email adress
in 1984,) I am still today completely overjoyed as a little child with regards to the speed of getting information and the relative ease with witch one can find likeminded spirits through this facility. I have to repeatedly rub my eyes to realize that this is not a dream, and lately I have come across so many nice and generous people that makes sharing these records and the doing my small edits to a genuine pleasure.

Having collected so much music over the years it feels very good to make at least some of them available to more listeners.

So, since there was a real rapid interest in Ram Narayan and also from some of my local and distant friends from pre-internet days I decided to post some more right away before I go on to the next set of records and other artists.

Don't miss that there is a good discography on the wikipedia you can consult here.
And don't forget to read the liner notes on the backside!

This is another very good recording of the master musician Ram Narayan. He is still a favourite of mine and I still find this recording to have a freshness and a vitality of a remarkable quality. There is quite a bit to read about him in the Wikipedia here, and for once the liner notes on the back of the record sleeve, (included as always) are most informative and the first few paragraphs puts Ram Narayan and this record in perspective of the times it was issued. Don't miss the Jogia!
