[@PatrickGrahamPercussion]

Can't believe you made that 'more' joke with a straight face. Twice :-) Very sweet, as usual!

[@kenshorley]

What can I say? I'm a sucker for a bad joke!

@@kenshorley You take after a certain Vidwan of Carnatic music....

[@kenshorley]

A bit of homage, no doubt...

Love it! One of these days I will pick up my kanjra again a play through.

Respected Master KS Thanks again for sharing some new type of mora. Keep your high spirit as usual. I understand as below Beat # 5 = Thattha Thaangida = 4 letters Beat # 6 = Thagathaam1Thaththa = 4 letters Beat # 7 = Thaangida Thagatham1 = 4 letters Beat # 8 = Thattha Thaangida = 4 letters Total of 16 letters spread over 4 beats. It works wonderfully well to recite and play This same structure can be made applicable to other variations as well.
