Ravi Shankar, rest in peace.

Yes, rest in peace, Ravi.

Sometimes his music just went on and on like Irish folk songs. I lovedit when these guys (Like Shankar and Bhatt) would collaborate with some of our writers like the Beatles and Ry Cooder to have the SItar and the drums really pepper up a tune

I loved
"A meeting at the River" with Cooder and Bhatt, I believe that many of the pieces were composed with input from Shankar

His daughter, Nora Jones, is a really good jazz singer and pianist.

It was a great ride Dr Shankar

I never knew he fathered Norah Jones. What a great musical family....

Ya gotta get through the damn Lacoste commercial and then theres a ditty with the sisters Shankar (Anousht and Norah)

That was jaw-droppingly stunning Farmerman.

Another giant bites the dust.
Rest in peace, Ravi.

John, George and Ravi together again...that's going to be quite a reunion.

Ravi and Anoushka were the reason I learned the sitar.. rest in peace..

He was to the sitar what Jimmy Hendrix or Les Paul was to the electric guitar. The man put the Indian culture on the map probably more than any other artist, and also aligned it with the breakthrough Western trends of the 60's, giving it mass worldwide appeal.
RIP Ravi Shankar.

Ravi Shankar was just one of those masters from Indian ..... and am always going to think of him as the greatest sitarist to ever live. RIP.
