universal holi-day

Thanks for the comment!
I have Krishna's address: 37 Lal Ghat Udaipur - 313 001 (RAJ.) INDIA His e-mail address is krishnamusic2001@yahoo.co.in We're desperately trying to get Krishna over to the States for some concerts/workshops/etc. It's proving to be a bit difficult though. But we're just so grateful to him and his family that we have to try! Thanks again for the comment and good luck on any future travels!
