Looks great! Can't wait to read it.Wanna hook a brotha' up? Not to direct it at you in particular but to anyone who gets this without paying for it (not through an intranet but like a friend sending it to you)."I realize that it seems pretty expensive to buy, but remember that it is 1000 pages (2 volumes)...it actually cost me well over $100 just to print out an unbound copy at my local copy shop, and they are offering a nice hardbound copy here for $75. Softbound, unbound, and PDF copies are less. Also note that it includes countless awesome photos, of ustads, old bhangra shows, dhol construction...well, not countless: 120 "figures," to be exact. The rhythms notated are countless -- for example, many different rhythms for jhummar from different traditions. Please think of all the effort that went into this, and don't pirate/share it. I am supposed to get some (probably really really small) percentage of royalties, and I am truly broke right now (as in poverty). Note that this work is registered (I had to pay to do it!) with the Library of Congress for Copyright, and I intend to pursue violations "This man has devoted his life to bring us knowledge, absolutely support him if you can. If you can't then go get a job and pay him for it as you would any ustaad
Gibb sir, many on the forum are well acquainted with your work, and it's cited fairly often in our discussions!
