Today is the 90th birthday of Carnatic violinist Lalgudi G Jayaraman! One of the greatest maestros of music in this century! His musical lineage is the most vibrant amongst the Tyagaraja Sishya Paramparas. ☺️🙏
A short thread with this old piece I wrote.

I can't express how fortunate I feel to have known him in close proximity. I was never his student. But, as a budding writer on music, he took extra effort in extending his hospitality over the decades. I learnt so much from him! ☺️🙏
Always soft-spoken and full of warmth!☺️
Behind every successful man is a strong woman! I think greater than Lalgudi Jayaraman mama was the wonderful Maami! Here he acknowledges her everlasting support and encouragement for everything he did!
☺️🙏
Some good music for this evening! Dedicated to Lalgudi Sishya Parampara!

If you think Lalgudi compositions are limited to his disciples, you are mistaken! They've become everyone's favourite!
Check out a child prodigy genius Mandolin Shrinivas rendering another Thillana! ☺️🙏
And last, but not the least, one of the super famous disciples of Lalgudi Sishya Parampara is the Sangeeta Upanyasam exponent Vidushi Vishaka Hari.
Listen to her this coming Sunday, narrating the story of her Guru, in her own inimitable style!
Will end this thread here! ☺️🙏
