Subject: Special Announcement - March 17 Varanasi - Guru-ji Memorial Concert

Hi folks,

This is it, the big event I came to India for this time around...  I'll be
performing with Jimi-san (Setsuo Miyashita - santoor) just before Pt. Debu Chaudhuri, one of my favourite sitar players.  It's a real honour.  My
parents are also coming for the occasion!

Shortly after this concert I'll be heading back to Japan for most of the
rest of the year.
