Hi Rob. I did an interview in 2002 with the amazing Vishwa Mohan Bhatt who described his personal musical evolution and gave me a one on one concert. If you're interested in any of it, you can find me. Right now, there's a Serb Fest going on just blocks away. Beat goes on...

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:50pm coelacanth∅:

haha chresti! i'm not grossed out by stinkbugs, except in certain circumstances; and i've dealt with possibly hundreds of them, and i've never noticed any smell at all. i wonder if it's even true!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:52pm Franco Twinkie:

el Garee - Saw Vishwa Mohan Bhatt years ago at the Harrick Chapel. Amazing doesn't do justice to this man. That guitar of his is something to behold!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:57pm coelacanth∅:

early 90s i was playing that "from nubia to cairo" album in the "health food" store i used to run when a generally needy and notoriously grumpy, businesslike customer came in. he smiled so big and became very animated! he asked me about it i told him it was a cassette i had and he asked if i'd make him a copy. he said this was music from his home and he hadn't heard it in many years. that changed out whole relationship.
  8:59pm el Garee le Bee~:

Franco Twinkie- He devised his own version of the classical chittraveenna and named it of course, the "Mohan" Veena, after himself. I gotta go to Serbfest now.
