Sitar Dreams - Xtabay Compilation

Found another Xtabay comp on my drive.

Never get tired of Shocking Blue here by Acka Raga.

Certainly can enjoy Bollywood music and the sitar.  What makes these it Lounge-Exotica is cross-pollinating the instrument with  Western arrangements or covers.

Now GeorgyGirl has plenty to say about sitar music on her 103 LoriHajiTura Broadcast. And about Big Jim Sullivan.

"Blues for the Guru" is fun stuff. Like many others have digitized it from a 101 Strings LP. It's just too bad the sound quality sounds is kind of muffled. So know its not my my digitizing skills or the turntable.

It need to be re-recorded. Does anybody here know Keith Lockart at the Boston Pops?
