A sad note about the death of GS Sachdev

GS Sachdev, a flautist strongly associated with Ali Akbar Khan, has passed away.

 I own several of his LPs and hope to digitize them soon.

 Sachdev's playing showed a gravity and soulfulness which is often attempted but not always successfully by younger players... He had a very reserved, serious, and somber approach music and he will be missed.

    RIP Pt G.S.Sachdev. He was a very good musician.

    Richard, your LPs would really be a nice tribute to him !

    Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a
    few months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any
    solutions to prevent hackers?

    The most beautiful record of Sachdev for me is Raga Bhupali. It was several years ago I was discovering the beauty of the Bansuri, and when I heard his music, it haunted me for days.Thank you for your incredible blog.Done with a lot of love and attention for the details. May this great musician rest in peace.
