Say you had the opportunity to have some (2) of the great masters of the past (must be someone who is not alive anymore) play a small concert for you and a few of your tabla connoisser friends. Who would you choose ?
I would have
1) Pandit Ram Sahai (Founder of the Banaras gharana)
2) Pandit Anokelal Mishra
I would have loved to see both of those Benares masters play. (Samta Prasad would have been a tough one to exlude also.) Additionally, the following two:
1) Ahmedjan Thirakwa Khan
2) Khaprumama Parvatkar (Who is he? Check: http://www.sawf.org/Newedit/edit05282001/musicarts.asp

Otherwise all could come, it's a loss forever to miss them.
The only way out is by appreciating and keeping the knowledge of the living. Time to sit back for me . .:-)
