This is a house concert the host family I am living (Raj and Vina Bhandari) with arranged for me and Justin (a sitar player also in the Hindi program). Unfortunately, his sitar string broke and that is why you see the laptop there besides me! It was the first concert I did accompanied by a laptop. It got me thinking though… maybe I could take this idea farther. The last picture is of Dr. Singh, our next door neighbor who has studied tabla for many years in Benares.
