Album:Three Ragas for Solo Violin
Hey y'all, thanks to everyone who came to the shows on our US tour! In every city we received so much kindness and moral support and it really means the world to us. I don't normally think of myself as boastful, but all of these shows made me feel a pride in our audience. If you look at them they seem so different from each other, but they're all amazing listeners and so open minded. (My pride was only disrupted two times that I can think of on this tour, one listener in Athens GA who shouted racial insults at Busdriver, and one listener in Charlottesville VA who shouted our band name so continuously the entire night that I don't think he or anyone around him heard much of the show.)Now we're at home (and for us home=vacation!) for another week or so before we go to Australia and then Europe.Since getting back I found something on itunes I want to share. I have no encyclopedic knowledge of Indian music and have no basis to judge, but I love this album:Dr. L. Subramaniam Three Ragas for Solo ViolinIt's over an hour long but it's only $3.99 - once in a while you can find a deal like this on itunes that seems to have slipped through. Like some 70s Miles Davis songs that last over 20 minutes but are still 99 cents. Anyway it's just violin with tamboura drone, very stark, incredibly beautiful. But I'm still looking for something that I'm not even sure exists, an Indian solo violin record that doesn't even have a drone, but is just solo. Anybody ever heard such a thing?Greg
