But that was till a couple of years back... Since then I have been reading a lot about it and now I have started learning it formally as well... I have also tried to put up a small website on the subject for people like you and me who dont know much about this tradition... It is basically a site on Indian classical music from a student's point of view... Personally I play the flute so right now the site is more focussed on the bamboo flute but soon I'll be adding a lot more information on other instruments and vocals... Have a look and see if something appeals to you... Hi Kimbro
