My friend Barry Phillips is playing cello on that video, He has been a long time member Of Ravi's orchestra and was also asked to handle the the first chair cello duties for the concert for George. He'll be playing with Anoushka at the pre-televised grammy awards ceremony this week. A great musician and one of the nicest people I know.

Eric clapton sits in and attempts to play w/in the beats of the song-and i guess its admirable-but that song is really beautiful... s on 2/2/06 7:40 PM, Kevin at kevin@TheNettles.com wrote: > At 04:40 PM 2/2/2006, "loop.pool" wrote: >> The Indians use these four subdivision:... > > In the trio that plays for clubs, our Indian tabla player sometimes > teaches the audience a keherva rhythm as: > THEY go, with US for DINner > >> In this way you can make a practise matrix of any time signature you >> want to take on and just sing the syllables... > > What's really wild is watching an Indian audience clap in 10/4. > >> One long band practise or two playing different time signatures against >> each other will usually do the trick to learn how to do this... > > Wow, I never thought of using Indian rhythms > _polyrhythmically_!
