Welcome once again to
Phil's Radio Korner, our recurring feature in which Phil introduces us to fine music - usually, but not exclusively, in the form of radio shows. Remember when
Phil taught us how to listen to some African music on the "internet"? Now he does the same with
the kirana gharana school of Hindustani classical singing. "We live in wondrous times," writes Phil, summing up his legacy. As you know,
wondrous (along with
progenitor and
hypnotic) is one of the words banned from the "blog" [Pendarvis
broke his own rule once - ed.] but in Phil's case, I am happy to make an exception.
