I'm a fan

Challa was in town last Saturday after a year in the sun and surf i.e. Hawaii. Needless to say Tavern happened and we headed back to VJ's place where Ananth was waiting. As the cosmic forces sometimes tend to conspire to your benefit, I had left my guitar at VJ's. We got in and after a little coaxing, Ananth opens his party pack, lights a cigarette and picks up my guitar. What followed was the stuff legends are made of...events that we'll probably be looking back at...drowned in sweet memory and lifting a jar. Neil Young, Marley, Stevie Ray and a lot of blues...blues blues.

I'm always at a loss to describe musical experiences that leave me in a delightful daze...like you're floating just a few feet above the ground after. What I am glad about...what really warms me from the inside is that we have people like this in our midst...music really has no borders.

Ananth is part of a band called the Galeej Gurus whose influences include Clapton, RHCP, Stevie Ray & Albert Collins. When they do release their album I'm going to buy a copy. And when Ananth cuts his first album, I'm going to be in the queue.
