My morning audience
When I play the esraj, the chinchillas, guinea pigs and all the rest of the animals and birds look at me. I come and play at about eight o’clock.Sometimes Kanu will not allow me to play. He starts biting the bow. But when I play the cello, the bow is too high for him to reach. So he just goes and plays around my feet.
