C'Mon old chap! Use the local jargon. Concerts always begin in the month of Marghazhi (pronounced Mar-ga-yee) roughly mid December and wrap up during the month of Thai (pronounced thigh). The names of the months are in the Tamil language.

Yes, this is the period of heavenly Carnatic music and Chennai will come to life. Enjoy!

Sounds like a great time of year! Here in the States we have endless performances of the Nutcracker.

My son backed out at the last minute due to a school commitment and I actually considered giving my Smashing Pumpkins tickets away. That would be silly, right... I found a buddy who was up for it and we grabbed the tube to Camden Town.

Damn responsible teenagers, leaving all the fun for their parents to have!

Sounded like a great show.

Attended 3 days of concerts over here in Singapore at an anime festival. Outstanding performances from the artiste LiSA, GARNiDELiA, fripSide, Root 5, Angela, iDOLM@STER, Eir Aoi, Yanaginagi, May'n, Kitamura Eri and DJ Kazu. Needless to say, I really enjoyed myself, so much that it hurts today!

Attended these concerts in the last month

Possessed by Paul james - friggin madman..awesomeness
Rachel Yamagata - beautiful and funny show as ever
The Generationals - Not as brilliant as I expected in the beginning but they finished strong
Odesza - huge crowds, sold out show, no light show during openers was a damper..but the main event lived up to the expetations

If you count early December, and even late November, as Marghazhi, then yes!

Anarchy rules ... so I suppose we might as well call it December as anything else.

I had to take the day off today, and sit around in a hospital while I was having a grandson. I'm looking forward to telling one artist, "I couldn't come to your concert because I was having a baby!"

Thad, ROFL. Knowing the local folk, they will ensure their wives, daughters and grand daughters stay away from you.

And congratulations are in order. Grand daughter, grand son? Calls for idli and sambar celebrations.

I told one singer today, "I'll definitely come to your concert on 15th, unless anyone else in the family has any more babies, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed."

And... It's a boy!

I'm staying in Royapettah for two weeks, roughly coinciding with the MA "Season."

Speaking of seasons... What I'm listening to now... is rain. Heavy rain! too heavy for Chennai mid-december

...........

Do you know that the "poor" singer will have you on his/her mind when he/she sings which will screw up the ragam, thalam and pallavi not to mention the thani ?

. I hope you have not tortured Smt. Vedavalli thus.

Nope. The last time I saw Smt Vedavalli, I did tell her that baby was on the way, so if she saw me running away, that would be the reason. It was Sumithra, Vedavalli's student.

Tonight, I left behind the impossible choice of emminent carnatic artists, including Sumithra, TVG and Suguna Varadachary, and went to a really wonderful Dhrupad performance by Uday Bhalwalkar.
