Question Re: sitar

How's the sitar coming Orby?

I used to have a Ravi Shankar album; I liked the cut 'Raga Shri.'

Fascinating pieces of craftsmanship too I dare sy.

E-Bay has some for sale. You can also order them through a good music store. Going into a George Harrison phase?

Re: sitar

no, I'm not really a fan of him at all actually.
I also do not want to buy a sitar off of the web. when I aquire one it will be in India, and only in India.
I want to learn their ways, their culture, their music theory for a few months there before i Purchase one.

I know someday this will happen, Unless I die before I can, aye!
