Almost by very definition India's musicians are truly musicians musicians. By that I mean they play so wonderfully even a simple person can understand the lyricism in the emotional joy. But it takes a long, long time to understand what's really going on here and so if I'm a simple man I can sit and cancer time with my hand in my lap or if I'm more sophisticated musically I can hear the subdivisions of the rhythms and the various formats of twos and fives. And just the sheer audacity of having 1000 Sitarz I mean just imagine to been there live and just sit in that room it's unbelievable. As most of you know, at least the ones who will be watching this video Indian musical concerts go on for hours and hours and hours and hours. I am a 57-year-old professional Musician in the west and after listening to classical Indian music my whole life since age of 12 I'm now shyly proud to say that I can go for four hours before I have to get up and wander off somewhere and lay down and rest, Even to sleep, but oh what rested is! What's sleep it is! Thank you mother India for the gift of your bosom the woods and the grasses in the human voices that you have formed into what we know is Indian music is the voice of earth itself

I've always enjoyed the sound of sitars and this was an amazing piece. Unity and form had to take a very long time in rehearsals.
