A Tear of Marble Still on the Cheek of Time

There is more to life than simply increasing its speed. Mahatma Gandhi.

There is a sense of timeliness in India that doesn’t exist in the West. Perhaps it comes from simply having been around longer, much longer…

You cannot help but feel India and hear it in the music. Indian classical music is traditionally taught orally, passed along from each generation to the next. Listen to Ravi Shankar and his lovely daughter Anoushka.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igDsu5QWhpo

If you like the sitar and are interested in classical Indian music, there’s much more on You Tube. Listen to Taj Mahal/Music of Ancient India (great pics here, too). Also listen to Ancient Echoes, great Sitar, Lyre and Fiddle.
