I was fortunate to have attended 5 concerts starting from the Meenakshi College concert. The song selection has been very good this year!
There was lot of soothing effect in the Lalitha ragam and the Subha Pantuvarali - Thanks.
Sukhi Evvaro was presented very steadily and neatly at Partha Sarathy Swamy Sabha. Lot of Soukhyamu and the Sukhis were the audience:-)
Thanks for singing Sandehamu Deerpumayya. It was a request from me. It is a long forgotten song - rarely sung these days.
The RTP concert was AWESOME!!! Hamsanadham Talam was mind blowing. Great effort!!!
The song selection stood out at Gobilalitha remembrance concert.
Thanks for making it a memorable season.
It was great to see your father appreciating the percussionists! I was touched by that.

OOPS!!! Forgot to mention your daughter's contribution. I liked her singing Viriboni in higher octave while you were singing is Mandara sthayai!!! She did a fabulous job!
And the unique feature of this year's RTP's are the playing of Mridangam while singing Tanam. Actually, it sounds very good! More so, if the artists practice and exhibit, it sounds far more better. If I am not wrong, the speed could vary while singing Tanam and hence a rehearsal might be a good idea, I thought.
