I played tabla for 45 years and his playing would bring tears to my eyes. I saw him twice with Shivkumar Sharma, once with U. Srinivas and once with Nikhil Banerjee and now all of them have left us with beautiful memories.
Hi Rod, congratulations on such dedication to your instrument and practice. I’m glad you got to hear him play numerous times, he clearly touched the lives of millions.
Thanks Stephen, I feel very fortunate for that experience. Especially as it was just before the pandemic struck. It was lucky on my part, as I didn't know he was playing in Chennai until I got there.

Such a beautiful obit, Dom. Envious of you seeing him live in India! And thanks for that link at the end. I've never heard something like it either.
