As a younger man, my bitterness and my education grew as so many of my heroes were being assassinated for political reasons. Now, I know I'm getting old, as my friends and heroes are dying now of natural causes. Life is short, and we all must make the most of it in what time we are alloted or lucky enough to get. Shankar's music really touched me, and introduced me to a new form of classical music. We still and always will have his music. He transcended musical styles. It is interesting to note that he lived his last years in San Diego.
