That will do for me, Rocky. I don't know if I mentioned that, but I play tabla, very badly, despite instruction from three of the best players in the world: Zakir Hussain, Swapan Chauduri and Ritesh Das. I have had the pleasure of their company and am the most embarrasing student they have ever schooled. I plead guilty on all charges. I am the world;s worst tabla player. I try and I faiil. I try but I fail, I cannort live up to thia measure/ I cannot measure up to this. I cannot.
