Liner Notes HAVING COME TO THE STATES SEVERAL TIMES AND WATCHING MY PARENTS AND OTHER RELATIVES PERFORM INDIAN DANCE MUSIC/ I HAVE HAD A DREAM TO TRY AND COMBINE WESTERN AND INDIAN MUSIC IN A FIELD WHERE IT TAKES A NEW SHAPE; A MUSIC WHICH HAS NO PARTICULAR NAME BUT IS MELODIOUS AND TOUCHING. AND THE COMBINATION OF THE MOST MODERN ELC-CTRONIC DEVICES WITH THE OLD TRADITIONAL INDIAN INSTRUMENT, THE SITAR, SHOWS HOW IN THIS PRESENT AGE ALL OF US IN EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD CAN FIND A BEAUTIFUL MEDIUM OF GETTING TOGETHERWITH AN OPEN MIND, MUTUAL RESPECT AND EAGERNESS TO LEARN IN ANYFIELD. I DO NOT WANT TO BE LINKED WITH THE FAMOUS SHANKARS. I AM AN ORDINARY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PRESENT YOUTH WHO WANT PEACE AND HARMONY IN THE WORLD THROUGH HARD WORK, DISCIPLINE, LOVE AND DEDICATION TO ONE'S WORK AND RESPECT FOR THE PAST. I HAVE USED THE SITAR AS AN INSTRUMENT AND A MEDIUM OF EXPRESSION AND NOT AS A CLASSICAL MUSICIAN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF "SAGAR." MY PRESENT DREAM IS TO HAVE A GROUP CONSISTING OF GOOD INDIAN AND WESTERN MUSICIANS GIVING CONCERTS ALL OVER THE WORLD. I PERSONALLY WISH TO THANK MY AMERICAN BROTHER, PAUL LEWINSON, FOR THE GREAT CONTRIBUTION HE HAS IN THIS ALBUM AND MR. HASSILEV FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS A PART OF MY DREAM FOR THE FUTURE. I HUMBLY DEDICATE THIS SIMPLE ALBUM TO MY GURU (MUSIC TEACHER), PROF. LAIMANI MISRA, HEAD OF THE MUSIC COLLEGE AT BANARAS HINDU UNIVERSITY, VARANASI. ANANDA SHANKAR C/O UDAY SHANKAR 38 GOLF CLUB RD. CALCUTTA 33, INDIA
