Once Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer (1908-2003) was attending a music concert by young T.R.Mahalingam (Mali 1926-1986), the legendary flautist. Semmangudi was not hesitant to express his 'fear' and told to the fellow musician sitting nearby :" I think we have to look for another profession (if this boy decides to excel like this ) ". Vidwan responded to it in a sarcastic way: " I am at least educated, what will you do?" Here is a Ragam Thanam Pallavi by T.R.Mahalingam, recording of a live concert in the U.S. Duration 21 minutes :
