I just checked on the statistics of my blog: hundreds and hundreds of visitors for the Nikhil Banerjee links, quite a few for Vilayat Khan, some rare surfers who got astary and landed on KG Ginde’s link. As to Aslam Khan, he is easily beaten by the posts I did on current art exhibitions around here. This will not keep me from posting other music by him later on however!
Btw. I would be proud to have a link to my blog on yours.

Hi Hans, Thanks for that! Aslam Khansaheb is a very exciting performer and fountain of knowledge who has not gotten the recognition he deserves. It is a mystery to me, but maybe has to do with his also singing ghazals which is somehow seen as being a deviation from classical purity. I have also seen this with Asha Khadilkar, a wonderful classical singer whose career suffers because she also sings marathi natyasangeet. Perhaps his career suffers too because he chooses to sing unusual ragas- the public prefers ragas they are familiar with. Thank you for providing this and other gems on your site. I will add it to my links if you don’t mind. James

Marvelous singing, so unlike the standardized khayal we hear everywhere. I put one of the cassettes on my blog for those who want to hear the voice that goes with the words:
