If someone can get and upload that song(along with the 1996 world beauty pagent theme composed by IR) it would be great.

Kamal learned Carnatic from Dr BMK. He plays piano (read long time back in kumudham with Kamal standing next to piano - probably when I was doing my 2nd/3rd bsc). Ghatam seems to be a new addition to his "sakalakala" skills. He even mentioned in IR concert that he could compose but dont want to be competing with IR!!! KH also said in a recent interview that his daughter could be composing soon.

Jayaram is a good percussionist. He played the "cheNdai" during some festival in thrissur/tvm. Kamal playing ghatam is news to me.

START DISGRESSION:

5.Screenplay
6.Editor
7.Magazine editor
8.Father of "little super star" :D

END DISGRESSION

on a more serious note, i think even Ilayaraja himself is a gr8 musician and a gud lyricist , older days actress bhanumati is also called "ashtavadhani" (person who can do 8 things at a time) , chandrababu used to sing and was an excellent comedian..........so we do have a whole range of multi-talented ppl. in TF.......not just kamal :D

Maddy, you have forgotten one more talent of IR. He is a great photographer too.

Ilaiyaraaja at Manodhodu Mazhaikkaalam movie launch!

I am afraid you may be right in your suggestion :(

Oru porkalam..sounds like an older song to me, which I cannot put my finger on..To me it does not sound like ennai thaalatta..
Vaanin kaadhal sounds very dated in orchestration. It is these kinds of songs which affect image of IR, rather than the standard tabla melodies, I think.

are the twinkle twinkle little star songs available online anywhere?
