A plea to rasikas

That's precisely where the Internet helps, isn't it, to house music in an indestructible but widely shareable form?

Hence I request rasikas to come forward and share with me copies of those rare concerts so I can put them online to give everybody an oppurtunity to share the sangItAmR^itaM ! You'll be duly recognized on the website for your contribution. And rest assured that it will not be used for profit.

For starters, I am looking for the following:

• pre-1970 concerts by M. Balamurali Krishna
• pre-1975 concerts by Vinjamuri Varadaraja Iyengar, M.D.Ramanathan, GNB, Oleti, Dwaram Venkataswamy Naidu (violin), or their gurus.
• concerts by Emani Sankara SAstri, Emani Gayatri, Karaikudi Sambasiva Iyer (veena)
• Any concerts that brought an artist (male or female) to fame.

I am especially looking for any clear and well-pronounced renditions of rare tyAgarAja kR^itis.

I am NOT interested in hosting contemporary artists' works on my website as there are umpteen other sites for that (e.g., musicindiaonline.com).

If you have anything interesting, please email to sai.susarla@gmail.com .
