Auto-Rickshaw Ride through Delhi "This is one of those rare moments when traffic is "flowing". A little ways through you see the India Gate monument. You don't see me almost fall out the side of the rickshaw and lose my lunch... hard to believe i'm paying for this experience, but it's definitely exhilarating" |

OK, Music-Nerd Time! Please excuse my Western terms, as I am an evil white imperialist.
Enjoyed the melodic construction of the Khusro very much. Two primary centres a P4th apart, each with secondary centres a m3rd above; decorated intermediate tone between primary and secondary (either raised or lowered, depending on melodic vector/unit); A- melodic unit for both lower and upper primary = T below, ST above; B- melodic unit for upper primary = T below, T m3 (secondary) P4 above; C - melodic unit for lower primary = M3 T below, ST/T m3 (secondary) above; B and C both have gamuts of P5 and are transposed versions of each other, exact except for altered note (structurally inverted), and having different primary and secondary tone placement; ie, from bottom, B = T m3/M3 P4 P5, C= T M3 P/ 4 P5 (B's inflection perhaps not sounded but certainly suggested in A).

Hello Kurt,
Dad says your voice sounds different in your videos.
Also, cupcakes have got nothin' on your mom's turtle brownies!
