Time to recall an anecdote about #ShivkumarSharma. Ever since i first watched a live concern by him and Pt Hariprasad Chaurasia in NuMaVi school in Pune in the early 90s, was mesmerised with Pt Shivkumar Sharma and the magic he created with santoor (1/n)

That concern began a quest for listening to him at every possible opportunity - be it live or on an audio cassette - and read whatever one could access about the great artiste. One such great piece i read wasn't about his santoor but about his skills with tabla (2/n)
It was about how Pt Sharma had played tabla for the famous song by Lata Mangeshkar - "Chaliya Beimaan" in Guide - during the final recording. Despite it being such a well-documented tale, one couldn't really fathom the fact that he was as versatile a table player as santoor (3/n)
