umbertino Posted February 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Have always loved this one since the very 1st time I happened to listen ( circa 1971...I was 14) when a friend loaned me the cassette for a few days....... I guess that was the 1st time in my life I got to hear a sitar's sound....I deemed it sooo beautiful right away....That really sparked my interest for Indian music........
