Anand Bhate at 10 years age | Dhanarashi Jata | धनराशी जाता | DD Mumbai 1981 (DD Sahyadri)

This is another song from my childhood programme on Doordarshan Mumbai (now called DD Sahyadri). This programme, produced by Arun Kakatkar, was recorded and broadcast in 1981 when I was 10 years old. I am forever grateful to Doordarshan for preserving this old recording and re-broadcasting it on Sahyadrichya Paulkhuna (सह्याद्रीच्या पाऊलखुणा). These are very sweet memories, with my parents and other relatives present in the audience, my sisters Kishori Paranjape and Pradnya Gondhalekar on the stage on Taal (Manjiri) and Tanpura. On organ is my first Guru, Chandrashekhar Deshpande, from whom I learnt Balgandharva's songs and on Tabla is Anil Deshpande, both being sons of the respected Haribhau Deshpande, Balgandharva's Organ accompanists.
