   The link is not proper. we are unable to down load the full concert zip file. please do something

8. S.K on December 31st, 2005 4:31 am

   Mr. Sivaraman,

   Are you refering to this link on the GNB site, which is part of the Sangeethapriya.org site?

   I tried it just now and the download works like a breeze.
   I used a d/l accelerator.

   But if you still have difficulties, pl give a shout. I’ll make an alternative arrangement for you.

   Cheers

    S.K,

    Great job. Please keep it up. Looking forward to more such gems.

    Especially the record quality of the Surutti Krithi is excellent.

    I have some difficulty in downloading the Mysore concert. Will try again.

    Thanks - Girish jamadagni

14. Sunil M B on January 3rd, 2006 1:57 am

    Dear S.K.,
    Great job.Please keep it going.
    Do let me know if I can be of any help to you.

    Regards
    Sunil

15. S.K on January 3rd, 2006 4:02 am

    Thanks, Sunil, for your kind offer.

    My ISP at home (company LAN) has put in restrictions for uploading. That is why I am not able to provide a download link to Girish for the Mysore concert zip file. If you happen to be at Chennai and and possess broadband, You may like to help me in uploading from a CD. Alternately, you may try and d/l individual songs from the GNB site, compress them and upload the .zip file to file repositories like http://www.yousendit.com/

    And @Girish, could you pl tell me the exact nature of the problem. And thanks for your kind words.

    @Bhaskar, it is very nice of you to compliment my effort.

    Happy New Year!

    Cheers!

    Please keep it up and ggood luck

    I await your reply.

    When I heard the song radha samedha krishna, it was scintilitating. excellently sung and recorded. I listened to the song 10 times continuously. very good. keep it up.

59. Dr. T M S Nedungadi on May 16th, 2007 10:28 am

    Dar Sk
    The GNB piece with a train chugging along in the background reminded me of one Mr KRISHNAN who was in Kenya ( with Nairobi as its Capital )who was kind enough to give me a copy of the same concert on an audio CD which I preserve even today!! Hence the Query
    I got it somewhere in 1980 when I worked as a consultant Surgeon in one of the Dist Hospitals in Kenya.I still have this cassete preserved.Hence the doubt Nice to know about the divers spread of GNB fans. Regards

    Delighted to know that there are so many GNB fans. I have a few GNB collection in MP3 format at 128kbps. How to upload to your site, so that all our friends can listen and enjoy?

61. sridhar on May 22nd, 2007 9:31 am

    GNB is my all time favourite. What is the reason for his death at such a young age?

62. S.K on May 22nd, 2007 5:08 pm

    Sridhar,

    GNB had a cardiac problem. He was out of action for about 10 years. But after he resumed singing, his ardent rasikas expected the same old verve from him. Hence he overstretched his limits. He then migrated from Chennai (aka Madras) to Trivandrum and became Principal pf Swathi Thirunal Music college. He got another attach there which he could not survive.

    55 was very much an young age for a singer.

    Thank God we have quite a few of his recordings, though not from his younger days, which were full of vigour and vitality.

    Regards

    S.K
