Hi Mike. This sounds like a wonderful project. I had no idea that you were so deeply interested in Indian music and the chaturangui. I'll pledge some as soon I can.
In fact, anyone who purchases anything from Steelin' From The Masters this weekend, all proceeds will go to your project.

| Thanks Mike--that's a super cool and really really nice thing to do. I've studied with Debashish several times in the States but I've never been to India. Thanks again for your generous support!! Mike |

Very cool, Mike. I just made a contribution. I'd love to check out your instrument sometime. I've never seen one of those before.

Mike, I'd like to contribute--but by check. Got a mailing address?
Also the clickable questions at the right on your second page ("How do I contribute," etc.) don't seem to be working.

| Hey folks--just a quick update: My Kolkata Groove project has been successfully funded! I leave for India in mid-December to begin a 3-week whirlwind of studying, recording and, possibly, some performing in Kolkata. Big thanks to Mike Neer for his awesome support. Thanks to everyone who checked it out. Peace, Mike |

Mike, welcome back! Looking forward to hearing the new sounds.
Did you use mizrabs or regular finger picks?

| Mike--reg finger picks, so does Debashish. i even use a sheerhorn bar because i'm so used to it, although i think i'd probably get closer to Indian tone with a smaller bullet bar like a Brozohponic |
