My dear friend and mentor David Reck passed away last night. I'll be posting more in coming weeks- there's a lot to say. For now here's something I filmed for David in the Spring of 2020. I learned it from him in about 1985, and we played it in just about every double veena concert we ever did together. He learned it from Ramachandra Iyer, who I later studied with in Chennai ca.1988-89, and he learned it from Karaikudi Sambasivayyer.
