Ravi turns 90!

[darkhorse23]

Today is Ravi Shankar's 90th birthday. God bless Ravi.

God bless Ravi, who was a spiritual/musical mentor and who viewed George as a son/protegee. I think Ravi loved George every bit as much as Harold Sr. loved George and he loved George a lot.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Ravi in concert twice, and saw Anoushka also last spring.

Ravi is such a beautiful person.

You can read a very warm message from him about his Birthday HERE (http://www.ravishankar.org)


And also a wonderful story about Ravi which includes George and is 5 pages long, HERE (http://www.shakenstir.co.uk/index.php/features/ravi-shankar-90th-birthday-celebration/features/16161)

Hey, FPSHOT, thanks for the links. I think that for the first time in 8 years I have spotted a mistake on your posts, I believe the sentence about Ravi and Mozart is by Yehudi Menunin .
What George famously said was about Ravi being Godfather of world music
Thanks anyway!!!

then maybe you have not read them all :wave1: we all make mistakes, even in posts :laugh5:

I copied that quote from one of the articles yet had my doubts about it coming from George but posted it afterall also to see if anyone actually reads what I write :teeth1::teeth1::teeth1:

Amazing to read that Ravi does a small tour again in the US and UK, San Fransisco, Washington, Manchester, Birmingham and London in May and June with Anoushka who btw had a beautiful son[COLOR=Black] on February 22nd.

"Ravi Shankar's younger daughter Anoushka Shankar gave birth to a healthy boy, Zubin Shankar Wright. Both, the father and the mother are doing well."

So beautiful the way this news is presented on Ravi's site, I truelly believe for me it is the first time I read such an birth announcement where the good health of the father is mentioned as well.
