He was teaching in chennai College of Carnatic music. Then he was working in Wesleyan University, America. His second daughter Gita went with him and married his student, an American. She died of cancer. We all pray for his family members. God bless them. Rukku, Soundara and Kalyani.
Dr. Ramanathan was a genius. He taught veena to Ms also. In our family all of us learnt vocal and veena from him. His father in law was a teacher in Hinduhigh school. He never used to shout at anyone. He was too humble and polite. Nobody can replace him. Hope someone from his family carry his good name and reputation. Rukku, Soundara, Kalyani.
Ceebros garden viswanathan:. Vedavalli Ammas rendering is a speciality and one can listen / experience the continuous melody at a beautiful padantram. Very soothing to mind, sweet to hear and what else one need out of our great music. My pranams to madam.
Absolutely a great performance. never get tired of listening to this song. TN Krishnan is the best His part from 8:55 solo on violin was absolutely mesmerizing.

for me this is the thing i love about SSI, when he gets this stately courtly pace with a singer behind him (or two) there is a recording of him with MSS singing behind him that is lovely like this
I have had a lot of opportunities to see and enjoy this greatest musician's concert and programme at Trivandrum. Greater than a greatest artist. My humble Pranamam and Paadanamaskaram. 🙏🌹🌹🌹
