Got my first real six string/ Over at the पाँच और पैसा भी

Gotta get this one posted already, so I'll skip the perfunctory "joke above the picture"...



Ananda Shankar was a nephew of the uber-sitar dude Ravi Shankar... you know the guy who played with the dude from that band... forget their name... the one that everyone thinks is so good? The boy band that got into drugs. You know the one. Anyhoo, Ananda followed his elder's footsteps, knowing that in the Sixties dudes liked to get fucked up and hear 'em some sitar... only he found someone better to jam with. Some cat named Jimi something. But despite that, his greatest reknown is for bringing the Funk to the Indian vibe in his solo work. "Dancing Drums" might be the money track, but this is record is all spicy vindaloo, baby...

Ananda Shankar - River (ysi)






Off to celebrate my grandma's 100th birthday this weekend. Pretty damn cool, eh? Namastay Ji...
