Thanks to Anindya Roy for this news. Gour was an incredible spirit and I cherish the minutes I had speaking with him, observing him and especially, hearing him sing. One of my videos shows a baby dog who was stepped on accidentally by someone at the Jaidev Mela and the dog's cries were heard by Gour, who picked him up and consoled the baby animal. This small humane act says everything to me about what kind of a person he was. He lived as intensely as he sang + I am sure his soul is soaring high.
Mr. Charlie Steiner, a humble request to you from a folk / baul loving person from West Bengal. Please upload the documentary named Ami Pagol - I am Crazy which you made on 1986. It really has a historical value and many Bauls will be really glad to see their ancestors and origin... it will be a great help for all.
