Great show... But it was saddening to hear the shaken down voice of ARR due to Sridhar's demise.. He mentioned at least a couple of times about how hard times were, around this topic. But he was as sweet as always.
He did talk a minute about the Connections (around the 59th minute mark in the podcast) and he shared that it was NOT another Vande mataram, but a different approach. I think he mentioned around 5 tracks: Mylapore Blues, a Punjabi track, Thirukkural and two others that I can't pull out of my memory... Hope you guys listen to the recorded stream! Rams.
