I was approached sometime around 1990 by Mike Festa, the leader of a local band in Austin, to provide tracks of sitar, tanpura, and tabla for one of his songs. While I had a personal policy of not using my training in Indian classical music in the popular music sphere, Mr. Festa wouldn't take no for an answer, and I finally relented. I wasn't happy with the mixing result, but the final product was already done by the time I heard it. I had an opportunity to perform the song with The Bavarian Mystery Band for ACL Fest in 1991 but declined the invitation. (I notice the original post had audio defects; they are corrected in this version).
