I read the excerpt posted by Mr. Kandadai and I was thoroughly impressed by it. I don't remember reading the original one though, but this was quite exemplary. I think that it is a combination effort that made Ghantasala's music so popular. By that, I mean extraordinary writing and an amazing voice. I think in today's telugu music, not to rip too much on it, we are missing the writing skills of the old days of Samudrala, sree sree, dasarathi, and the list is almost endless. We have discussed this repeatedly, so I don't want to over do it, but it was just an observation that came to mind when I was reading the interview excerpt.
