I owned at least one of his albums, but never really got into it.

“bing bing boing boing weyow weyow bing bing.” Now one of his numbers went on like this for almost twenty minutes. Then afterwards he bowed to the crowd with his hands together. I watched the video, and tried to understand what the fascination was. I do have to say he did seem at peace with himself and his environment. I guess that is all a lot of us can ask for. So I will say, ‘Rest in Peace Ravi.’

I managed to see Mr Shankar in recital, and on another occaision Ali Akhbar Khan, the sarodist. I see that Mr Khan has also passed away, at an advanced age, a few years ago.
If your recording does not contain any formal, evening Ragas, give them a try. I have one in particular back in my LP collection in which the sitarist and the drummer on the tabla or tanpura (I forget which) engage in an incredible give-and-take to end the piece.

Ravi must have been sixty years of age, the sly old dog.

Have some still sealed Ravi Shankar albums, and some that are unsealed. The unsealed ones are why rest are still sealed...
This is said in jest because there is some of his music I really enjoy. His music was ever so slightly westernized when he worked with the Beatles yet he was content to stay with his cultural style. I still prefer the westernized stuff.
