Ilaiyaraja and the bass guitar!

Dear All, Im a newbie to this wonderful site. Ive just been going through the old IR threads, especially 'Ilaiyaraja and the guitar' and the like. I was fascniated by the way ppl had discussed these topics (Mux, Kanchana and Kitcha ... hats Off!) I am absolutely bowled out by IRs use of the bass guitar in many many songs, like Ninnukori, POOgatru PudhirAnathu and so on. Im planning to learn the acoustic guitar and I thought Ilaiyaraja's love for the bass guitar shopuld be discussed more in detail. Please post ur comments!

  Kadal Meengal is a great album. Enna sir, ethanai naala kaanave kanom ungalai? Appram I got a chance to hear our Maestro's non-film albums, Nothing but Wind and How to Name it in leisure and detail. What fantastic music! What instrumentation? IR must do more of such albums - he is way above any one else in IFM ... I would specailly like to mention the song 'mad mood mad fugue' in HTNI ... the song goes into a differnt plane towards the last 2 minutes ... Prabhudas sir, unga comments enna?

  Kumar, have u noticed the brief sitar passage in the second interlude of " kaalai thendral paadi varum"? 'Celestial' is the apt word!!!

  Srivatsan,
  
  U had asked about other BGM clips, I will arrange for a CD with the entire collections I have to reach you but not right now, I will be making a copy to my nephew who is in BLR I will send 2 copies to him, so he can send a copy to u @ Chennai.
  
  Mythila,
  Indeed that short Sitar piece in " Uyarnda Ullam " song is ecstatic, it takes you out of this world,
  
  I am yet to recover from my euphoria after having met him here in NJ
  
  Maestro is extremely simplistic and down to earth, one thing struck in my mind, it is amazing how God creates such great acheivers in such simplistic way.
  We are extremely fortunate for living in conteporary period as Maestro
  
  Long live Maestro and his immortal music
  
  People from NY metro area, please make yourself available to attend the gathering this Saturday ( 5/22/04) at Flushing Ganesh Temple ( Kadavulaiyum paartha maadhiri irukkum..:-))
