I apologize for not having the video to put here. But, just the audio music is in itself so powerful, that I venture to put just audio without a video.
SB plays a heart-melting, mind-boggling, soul-stirring ShubhaPantuvaralli. I am sure every Vainika will be forced into self-introspection and see how and where one in on the side of this steep magnificent mountain of Veena music set by one unique and sigularly creative man - SB
I first of all thank Mr. SBS Raman (SB's son) for sharing this gem with me - and, further allowing to share with with the world. I quote Mr. Raman below:
Begin Quote:
"This is from the early days SB was experimenting (as typical with him, exploring uncharted unrehearsed territory, walking a high strung tightrope with no safety net, on stage, in live concert) with playing in the "tuning-box" area with no frets to guide where a note lands.
His "andavane", "ayyo" (as the next 'logical' sequence of sangathis strikes him), "sabhash" (to himself) and chuckles sharing the enjoyment of the audience, are particularly endearing.
This clip brought back a flood of memories I wanted to share with you!"
