Actually, when I saw them here in St.Louis, Hariprasad Chaurasia was not 
with 
them.  Instead U. Srivinas was playing mandolin with them.  Unreal show.  
In 
fact, I think that while most people came to see John M., he was the one 
working hardest to keep up.  Zakir Hussain is a god.  Not only can he play 
at 
ridiculous levels of virtuosity, he is very laid back and approachable, 
and 
tries his best to entertain his audience.

Later!
