To all "copy" masters, 1. There are 7 swaras / notes in music. Every MD has to base his songs on these 7 swaras, so I guess as per this formula, nobody is original ? all copy all ?
2. Pt. Bhimsen Joshi sings Ahir Bhirav RAAGA, Pt. Shivkumar Sharma plays Ahir Bhirav on Santoor. Is one copying other ? 3. Pt Balmurali Krishna sings Hamsadwhani, Mandolin Srinivas plays same, for both, the accompanist is playing same beats. Are these two performances same to our ears ? 4. The moment Rahman comes out with a new album, you jump and start chanting Copy / copy / copy. Do I listen to Rahman and enjoy or listen to you and suffer ? The answer to all 4 queries above is a BIG NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO! I don't care ! I like to listen to Rahmans words and his music and I don't waste my energy in finding similarities. Earlier the group consisted mainly of RAHMANIACs, I find that lately the new virus of COPYMANIACS is spreading fast...... too bad ! best regards Dinesh Vaidya Pune
