Dear Tom ~ how lucky to be able to see Krishna Das; it has been several years now since I last saw him. I felt the same way you described above ... not disappointed so much as frustrated because I felt unable to participate. Meanwhile, there were people in the audience around me who were singing. I kept wondering how they knew what to do, because KD's embellishment of the vocals goes all over the place and is impossible to follow (yet it is his unique "signature" and beautiful). During a brief intermission, I asked one of the women who had been singing how she knew what to sing, and she said, "I have the tapes." She was right; he pretty much does the same on the tapes, but on those there is a response group that simplifies the melodic line, so you know what to sing. Anyhow ... I wish he would come back to Albuquerque. :::sigh::: Jai Ma ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
