  Thenraja -
  Congratulations. Would you know if any more PS concerts are planned/forthcoming at other North American / Canadian cities? Or was this concert a one-off? Thanks for the info in advance.

  Naaz,
  PS came to US end of June to attend perform at the Tamil Convention Jul 4-7 with TMS. After that I believe she performed in other places. I am not sure where. She was in Atlanta to give a concert of Telugu songs (see http://tama.org) on Aug 11. She went to Detroit and came back to Atlanta for our Tamil concert. She was supposed to perform for the Telugu Assn at Chicago on Sunday, Sep 8. I will ask the person who hosted PS in Atlanta if he knows of any concert before she leaves to India by the end of this month.

  Thanks for the information. I am sure that last two concerts will be a success. Kindly post any media coverage/reviews, if there are any, after the event. I am too far away from either of those cities to be able to attend.

  Naaz, Thenraja and others
  PS has scheduled a concert in Pittsburgh on Sept.14 at 7.00 pm sponsored by the Pittsburgh area telugu association. I am planning to attend. She plans to sing old telugu melodies. Should be a fun-filled evening.

  Subbu,
  We will have to ask Kaumudi who was planning to attend the Pittsburg concert.

  OK guys, here is a small report on how things went in the concert of PS on Saturday. I didn't get a chance to check the forum on Sunday.
  
  The concert was supposed to start at 7.00 pm but it started late at 7.50 pm!! All of us were sitting there not knowing exactly what the heck was happening. Apparently there were some technical difficulties with the microphones and things could not be adjusted quickly. It was such a lame excuse because there were just 4 or 5 mics to adjust.
  
  In any case, PS actually came in on time at 6.55 pm or so. But then the poor lady had to sit there for this stupid problem. Then at 7.50 she goes to the stage and does a namaskaram to the audience. She then touches the ground and then to her forehead (bowing to bhoodevi) and starts off with "Shuklaambaradharam vishnum" - ganesh sthuthi.
  
  Her first song was a 60s song in the praise of Lord Venkateshwara symbolizing the venue of the concert - the Pittsburgh SVTemple auditorium. She then sang a lot of old melodies alone and accompanied by a few other singers. These guys were also present at the Atlanta concert. I could recognize some faces from the GATS website. Some of them include Thulasi divya, Michael, Dr.Haranath etc.
  
  Out of the total 32 pieces sung, there were 24-25 PS songs and the rest by the others. This was because the audience (including me!) were shouting for only old songs and only in her voice.
  
  Now about her voice: What a voice!! I don't have words to explain her still-honeyfilled-beautiful voice. I was so thrilled to listen to those old melodies all over again. Isn't she 70+. Boy, she was so enthusiastic in rendering her songs. Why don't people use her voice atleast for the aged characters in the movie?
  
  More than anything else, she was so hilarious and jocular on the stage. At one point, the mic that she was holding stopped working, then she says "Oh, looks like this mic doesn't like my song, what to do, we have to do it all over again when the mic comes back again" and then for another song when the same thing happened again, she immediately caught hold of her co-singer's mic and finished the song. Then she says jokingly " Ayyo, is this how it is in america, do artists have to sing with only one mic?". We were having so much fun with her on the stage.
  
  She has such a beautiful voice. May she sing for many more years. Before I went to the concert, I was really concerned for her health and wondering how she might sing for that long.
  
  I even got a chance to talk to her at the end of the show. She was so sweet and asked me what I was doing. Also told her that I do a little bit of singing and am a great fan of hers. She immediately asked me why I didn't get on to the stage and sing with her. What could I say?
  
  Anyway, it was a memorable memorable evening. Just wished, we didn't have the initial mic problem. If anyone needs the list of the songs she sang, I have it and I can post it.
  
  Excuse me for any typos and missing words.

  Kaumudi -
  Thanks for sharing your concert experience with us. PS is a singer for all seasons. And I am happy to hear that she has not lost any of her magic and mastery. Lucky you for being in the presence of this ageless wonder!
  
  
• From: Subbu (@ 216.52.49.5) on: Tue Sep 17 04:24:56 EDT 2002
  
  Thanks Kaumudi... for your great sharing... i was with tears when I read your posting.. yeah, I also join in praying teh almighty that she continue to sing for years ahead... Thanks again.

  Kaumudi- that was a touching tribute to a Living Legend. You are indeed fortunate to have met her and spoken to her. Her humility is the hallmark of her greatness.

  Welcome back Saravanan.. edhavadhu news share paNNaradhu...

  Kaumudi, did PS sing any Tamil songs? Pl share with us.
  
  
• From: Kaumudi (@ 136.142.153.250) on: Tue Sep 17 16:33:27 EDT 2002
  
  Thanks everyone. In fact had this been a telugu forum I would have written the actual stuff (comedy) she did on stage. I was so thrilled meeting PS, that on my way back I started babbling with my friends in the car. They realised that I got high (!!) due to the concert and didn't really make any effort to respond to my babble:-)
  
  Anyway, she did not sing any tamil songs because the concert was organized by the Pittsburgh Telugu Association. But if it helps - I can think of one song she sang which also has a thamizh version. That is Malarnthum malaradha from Paasamalar. The telugu version of this movie is Rakthasambandham and the song is Chanduruni Minchu. She sang it so well, alongwith the same expressions as that of the original song. She breathed life into that song on stage, period.
  
  "Her humility is the hallmark of her greatness." - Very well said Saravanan. I tell you, if something like that mic problem happened with Zakir hussain (for e.g., not to pick on him or anything), what do you think would have happened? He would have either walked away or simply expressed his unhappiness in some form. PS was standing there on stage and providing us entertainment with lots of timely jokes during this mic confusion. And when I went to talk to her, she spoke to me happily. No airs, no artificiality, no pretense. It was like talking to my mother, so casual. I felt like talking to her for some more time. But then, there were many people surrounding her. I couldn't help thinking "Man, this is the same lady who sang with Ghantasala and that too thousands of songs!!". I was indeed fortunate to have met her and listened to her. One of the most memorable evenings of my life.

  Naaz, are you from canada? Which city?
  
  
• From: Saravanan (@ 195.229.241.212) on: Wed Sep 18 09:30:43 EDT 2002
  
  Subbu- thanks. Enna news share pannanum?
  Ok- last night I was listening to 'Teacheramma' songs. 3 wonderful solos by PS. 'Amma enbathu thamizh vaarthai', 'Isaiyodu deivam vandhu vilayaadum veedu' and 'Soodi Koduththaval naan thozhi'. All of them enchanting. My pick is however 'Soodi koduthaval'- what a slow, sorrow filled song, sung so beautifully, with the emotions being brought out in such a subtle manner. Among TR Papa's best works. Don't you agree?

  Hey guys... i am very much upset with kalai, raj, rajesh and many others...
  
  After PS fangroup started, they never post anything here... it is not correct... anyway, i can't compul/force them but what i can say is "we miss you all" :-((
  
  Naaz, will u plz confirm whether u r from canada or india. Would u mind mailing me?
  
  
• From: Subbu (@ 216.52.49.5) on: Thu Sep 19 00:36:19 EDT 2002
  
  Yes Saravanan... I agree with you.. Soodi koduthavaL naan Thozhi is gr8 among the 3. A gr8 attribute of PS is that... in sad songs she does not cross the emotion limit too much. This keeps her diction of words always perfect and clear (not allowing emotions / azhugai over shadow the words).
  
  In this song, she really makes a difference.
  
  Pl continue share your experience Saravanan.

  I also agree with "soodi koduthaval than thozhi " song. Vamanan also mentioned about that song in "cinema express"
  
  Saravanan !
