I have never seen anyone in the Studio at the Arts Centre. Do they have seats? Or standing room? I understand this is general admission so I guess its first come? He is playing two nights I think?

Good thing Satchmo was in this lineup:  might think it the Redneck Hour, otherwise.

Perhaps, although he plays an incredbly difficult machine (Mohan Veena),  doesn't have a spastic rocking movement going on, has good diction and was born on the Isle of Man.......oh well, you get my drift.
Seen them both live several times, prefer Harry by far.  

Quote:The instrument is actually a modified Archtop guitar and consists of 20 strings viz. three melody strings, five drone strings strung to the peghead, and twelve sympathetic strings strung to the tuners mounted on the side of the neck.<1> A gourd (or the tumba) is screwed into the back of the neck for improved sound quality and vibration. It is held in the lap like a slide guitar. The Mohan Veena is under tremendous tension; the total strings pull to be in excess of 500 pounds.<2>

Some of the popular performers include its inventor Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, the fusion artist Harry Manx and Pandit Satish Khanwalkar.

Then we need to hear from The Great Train Robbery, an excellent ska-ish band from Buffalo in the late 80's.


Dude - I never thought anyone would mention them on RP! Small freakin world...

Every time Manx is played, I have to consult the playlist from wherever I am in the office. Love that opening....
