What musical wishes do you have for the future?
I want to put together a band of 4-5 musicians that features a sarangi player. Sarangi (Indian bowed instrument) is to me a most spiritual instrument. It gives me more goose bumps than any other. I also want to go back and play with the Bauls, the street musicians of Bengal. That s where my heart is. I’ll just go to the villages and swing, play with them, and listen to their lovely lyrics!
