She is also a butcher. Shenbagame, Engenge and Yamunai aatrile will have been even better renditions had a Janaki or Chitra handled those. great to see one more person who shares my frustration hearing such miserable pronounciation of the language. but I don’t quite agree to your point on Asha Bonsle’s pronounciation.

Sangeetha Jaadhi mullai has been my favorite too for ages. It just transports me to an ectastic state each time I listen to it. May be it is nostalgia of having grown up listening to Ilayaraja's countless gems in the early 80s...

As a Wytheville Native, I appreciate any good things that are reported back by vistors that have stopped in our little neck of the woods. By the way, you might be interested to know, as a lot of people are unaware of, that our town Wytheville (as you have noted pronounced Withville) is named after George Wythe- the first signer of the Declaration of Independence. Hope you are able to return to our town again some day! Be Blessed! Amy I love the comments and pictures that you have included on the Trinkle Manson.

Found your site when I was trying to learn more about this Buffalax guy. I find him amazingly creative with words, although I would have thought I would be offended that a foreigner was making fun of our languages. I'm not offended because Buffalax is a wit of the highest order, comparable to Edward Lear and other great nonsense poets. Good to read your blog, and hope to come back often. Ram Hi

I beleive, that the pressence of teevra nishadha among all other komal swaras and also N3 being a leading note, has given the region P-N-S a magestic beauty, similar to that in Hamsadhwani. Ath the same time the S-G-M in the lower half has a counter poise like that of Hindolam, alll put together in Srothasvini. The omission of R and D also has a wonderfull spell on the singer as well as the listener, just the reason why pentatonics like Mohanam, Madhyamavati, Hindolam etc are famous for.

Yes, indeed they are marvelous pieces by "Isai"rajan, Ilairaja.... Btw, here to the song "Alalu kalalu egasi asali" (Movie: Seethakokachiluka, Telugu). Amazing enough, the song opens with the raga murchana, and the lyrics (translated as:..(Her) dreams are like the waves, rising high and falling back) are of pristine beauty... Interesting blog!!!
