sorry to hear that he is gone now his music lives on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAV1rdUyjCM"]Ravi Shankar - YouTube
That's sad but he was 92 so he had a good innings...I know of him primarily through his work with the Beatles...Maybe I will check out some of his classical Indian music.
Its sad to be dead. But, if you knew about rhyming slang, being called a "Ravi Shankar" every day of your life, must be kind of hard... lol

Ravi-ji was a great soul. His skill was great, but his heart was greater. He gave the West the gift of Indian music, one of the most magnificent artistic traditions in the world. Without him, the landscape would have been slightly darker and more ignorant for the last 50 years. No doubt his next life will be full of ease.
I did get to see him, and worked a show, so only heard the second time. He was a gentle man and a gentleman. He was precise in what he needed from the sound techs and engineers, but polite and thankful. In an industry full of people who think every little thing will ruin the show, Ravi Shankar stands out as a humble spirit.
