Fund Raiser - Shri Sadagopan's Music Collection Part 2

[Guest guest]

Om Namo Shriman Narayanaya Namo Namaha

As I continue the task of documenting Shri SadagOpan's music collection that he

so generously has donated for charitable purposes, I wanted to make a small

personal comment and thank the Lord and his consort of thiruviNNagar as I feel

extremely blessed this first day of navarAthri. Today happened to be

particularly special, as we (my wife Smt. VaidEhi and I) had the good fortune

of Shri T. V. Shankaranarayanan sing at my humble residence in front of shrI

BhUmi dEvi samEtha shrI uppiliappan as a most auspicious beginning of this

navarAthri. If yesterday's concert at MIT was outstanding, my mind has been

filled and my ears ringing sonorously of the shrIman nArAyaNa sankIrthanam that

he presented before the Lord today at our place.

Coming back to the primary task at hand, I have received quite an overwhelming

response for the first posting I had made on this topic. Please help keep the

enthusiasm high. I will try to maintain a two day turnaround on all request

for tapes.

The price on the tapes are listed against the Title. Please contact me if you

wish to purchase any of these tapes.

While I can not make copies of the copyrighted tapes, I am gladly willing to

make copies of personal and commercially unpublished collections of some great

concerts that I have been authorized to do. Availability of all tapes are on a

first-come first-served basis. The available quantities are also listed against

the title.

I HAVE SET UP A SEPARATE EMAIL ACCOUNT TO HANDLE ALL REQUESTS FOR THE SALE OF

SHRI SADAGOPAN'S MUSIC COLLECTION.

PLEASE DIRECT ALL REQUESTS TO:

ORANGASAYEE (AT) (DOT) COM

All checks must be drawn in favor of Mr. V. Sadagopan. Please respond by email

address, and I will do my best to address them.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL RECORDINGS LISTED HERE ARE OF VERY GOOD QUALITY

5. Shri Maharajapuram Vishwanatha Iyer - Concert - 1 tape - Any number of

copies as time permits - Private collection - Date and venue unknown - $10

I have been a music collector for about 8 to 10 years now, and in my extensive

collection, I have been able to acquire only 4 tapes of Shri Vishwanatha Iyer,

Father and Guru of Late Shri Maharajapuram Santhanam and also the Teacher of

Shri Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer. However, he is from a time period when

recordings were not too common, and therefore it is very rare to find a

recording of Shri Vishwanatha Iyer's performance, let alone a concert. This

tape therefore becomes a Collector's item. Very unfortunately it is only Part

1 of what seems to be a two part concert. However, if you are a genuine music

lover, then you will understand the importance of this tape in your collection.
