BROTHERS ~





L. Vaidyanathan
(1942-2007)

A composer of scores for over 150 films


All three brothers were musically trained by their father V. Lakshminarayana.

Their Indian family was a great one, of all music lovers and players








L. Subramaniam

(1947)


A master musician as well as having a degree as a general practitioner in medicine.

"I find nothing more inspiring than the music making of my very great colleague Subramaniam. Each time I listen to him, I am carried away in wonderment.”

Yehudi Menuhin










L. Shankar / Shenkar
(1950)


L. Shankar plays the 10 string stereophonic double violin
which covers all the orchestral range
— double bass, viola, cello and violin







Between the days of a Jack London Birdhouse and another (you'll see), I came upon a cache of my world music LPs and brought them back into the fold, including L. Shankar and his older brothers.
