Will miss you KAG Uncle! You are the icon of folkmusic for my generation. Even two days before, I was singing "Paavadai sattai kizhinju pochudhe" to a group of women, I was filming in Natham near Dindugal. You are my most beloved teacher and guide. Olaiyakka was the first song you taught me as a school kid.I still remember how my tears were swelling up like firedrops when I first heard you sing Manushangada. You always brought me cheer and hope with your music, smile and affection.
I will continue singing your songs, name and love!
