Milon Gupta: The Maestro

I was pleasantly surprised when I received an email from harmonica player Vinayak from Hyderabad this morning. He had sent me a few photographs of legendary mouth organ player Milon Gupta along with scanned copies of notations of a few film songs written by the maestro himself in his own hand writing. Thanks Vinayak for sharing such a treasure with all the harmonica lovers.

Vinayak has also uploaded some of the classic numbers played by Milon Gupta on his esnips page.

E Malik Tere Bande Hum

Recently we were invited by Shri T. D . Joshi. Sanjay Agarwal wanted to meet all the Harmonica friends in Vadodara. We were treated with special dinner by Joshi Family and this lovely song by Apoorva Bhatt and Dilipsinh Chawan.

Magic of Mouth Organ

He popped up one day on my chat window saying, "Kyon Raja Mujhe Pehchaana?". I could hardly believe that Ashok Bhandari, my classmate in Banaras Hindu University, would find me after almost 30 years. Since we left the university in 1978, Ashok had become a professional magician, performing all over the world - Italy, Germany, Japan and Russia.

Ashok found me from my esnips page where I had uploaded some of my mouth organ numbers. He told me that he has been also playing mouth organ in all his magic shows. I had heard Ashok play mouth organ when we were in college. But, he was not a great player then. After almost 30 years of practice and performing on stage, Ashok had become a maestro - a wizard, a magician of music. He is a master of special effects - a one-man orchestra.

Ashok was so much inspired by the Harmonica Club of Gujarat and its blog that he decided to devote full time on playing harmonica. I was shocked when one day he told me that he is giving up performing magic shows and has decided to start a mouth organ training academy in Delhi.

"Mouth Organ is a magical instrument," he says. Ashok has turned this handy musical instrument into a wonderful object of performing art.

Harmonica enthusiasts can call him at 9999333104.
