Srinivas's explanation on facebook to clarify some IR fans' doubts
Srinivas Doraiswamy
Thanks .. And I do understand the sentiments of some people who abused me,because I just have to look back at myself before I started singing professionally.. I was as much an obsessive fan as you people,so I do accept the volley of abuse.. But yesterday is dead and let us begin afresh.. When I was 16 or thereabouts,resident of a tamil locality in trivandrum,when KVN ,Semmangudi and Kishore Kumar used to rule my musical senses, I heard someone in my street play Annakili songs and then it was like Pied Piper... The guitar after the Namma veetu Kalyanam made you go mad.. We had not heard anything like that.. Then came so many songs that made your heart flutter with joy and there was no stopping.. Vizhiyile had strings that came from heaven.. Then came the opening guitar and violins in Sendhoora poove and my obsession with Raja sir reached a peak..especially when he and his orchestra came to trivandrum in the exhibition grounds to perform and Sendhoora poove happened again and there in the distance was the man in white bell bottoms,who had created it.. I was in tears... And the magic continued.. Today if I am a singer,musician or whatever you want to call me,raja sir's music has played a vital role in carving my sensibilities.. There are more songs,interludes,backgrounds I remember.. About that later,if you want me to post.. Whether it is you or me,we are all connected through a vibration called music.. Let us stay positive and forgive people who have hurt and that is both ways..
